So that a staple driver does not perform a movement relative to a staple holder until the staple holder comes down on the material to be stapled, provision is made according to the invention for the staple holder and the staple driver of a stapling head to be driven by a common drive device via a cam control mechanism. The cam control mechanism has a cam plate which is made to perform a stroke movement via a drive pin on which it is rotatably mounted. The staple holder and staple driver are driv...

A stapling apparatus is provided. The stapling apparatus includes a shaft which is swivelably mounted on a supporting part of a stapling head. The stamp is seated rotationally firmly on the shaft. For the purpose of accepting a wire section from a wire section dispenser, the shaft can be swiveled clockwise by 180.degree. from its staple placing position. The wire section accepted by the stamp is formed into a staple on a slotted link. The lateral arms of the staple are guided in grooves of the s...

A stapling apparatus (1) has a stationary stapling head (9) and a counterbearing(13), fastened to a slider(4) and equipped with a clinching apparatus (14), that is fastened to slider (4). The slider (4) has parallel clamping surfaces (4d, 4e), associated with which are a clamping element (19), mounted in stationary pivotable fashion and having clamping jaws (19c, 19d) and edges (19e, 19f), that can be positioned by a torsion spring (21), pivotably about a bearing (19a), against the clamping surf...

A stapling device has a stapler and a staple wire cassette detachably attached directly thereto, in which the leading end of the wire emerging from the staple wire cassette terminates directly in the working region of the stapler. The stapler has a base member serving as a staple-forming and holddown element, on which a driver and a sleeve are guided linearly so as to engage in telescoping fashion within one another, and are movable perpendicular to the upper side of a sheet stack. Compression s...

A staple wire cutting element (4) is mounted displaceably on a stapling device (1) in which staple wire segments are shaped into a staple and driven into a sheet stack. A control lever (8) that is in engagement with a radial cam unit (6) engages the cutting element (4). The radial cam unit (6) is driven via an overrunning clutch (10), one end of which has a gear (11) which is fixed to the radial cam unit (6) and engages into a gear (5b) of a stepping motor (5). The other end of the overrunning c...

Stapling apparatus used for stapling copy sheets into booklets produced from documents copied in repeated cycles which includes a tray mechanism having movable side guide members capable of receiving different size sheet material fed along a predetermined path from a processor. The sheet material is stopped by a gate mechanism which is positioned adjacent to the tray mechanism and is operative to move from one position in the sheet path to a second position out of the sheet path in response to d...

A stapling machine having a base, an anvil upon the base, an invertible magazine having a staple discharge opening and staple feeding means pivotally connected to the base, a cover overlying the magazine and pivotally connected to the base and magazine, a cap overlying the cover and also pivotally connected to the base, and an indicia bearing member connected to the cap. The anvil of the machine is supported within a recess provided in the base and is held firmly in downward position within the ...

This stapling machine embodies two improvements over prior staplers. It has means to prevent the lower front ends of the side walls of the staple magazine body from spreading apart. It also has means to prevent the lower end of the driven staples from swinging rearwardly, when using short staples, such as are used when stapling insulated electric wires to a base.

A stapling machine is shown having a base of springable material having a clearance spring integrally formed therein, a magazine made of springable material and having spaced sides also has a base portion and a rearwardly projecting spring member. A follower is formed with a body portion and a downwardly projecting forward portion having a pair of opposite laterally projecting members which are in slidable closely adjacent relationship with the sides of the magazine, a cover overlies the magazin...

A stapling stacker has a sheet infeed, a pivoted shelf on which the trailing ends of sheets are assembled with the leading ends supported by previously stacked sets, the sets are side edge aligned, stapled into sets and offset with respect to previously stapled sets, and the shelf then is operated to dump the trailing ends onto previously stapled sets of sheets on the stacker.
