Title: Improvements in Stapling Machines.
Inventor: WILDEY EDWARD MILTON
IPC: B25C5/06
Filed: 1910-11-18
Granted: 1911-11-20
Abstract: 26,812. Wildey, E. M. Nov. 18. Stapling.-A stapling-machine, of the type in which already-formed staples are cut from a strip held in the machine, has means for supporting the forward end of the staple being cut off, and is so arranged that the staple strip may be withdrawn from the machine, when desired, in the same direction as it is fed. The staple strip c rests in an open guideway b, and is fed forward by a channel-shaped pawl c, which is moved by a vibrating lever pivoted at g to the frame and connected at its lower end to the pawl. The lever is operated by a projection t on the driving-plunger striking projections on the lever. A retaining-pawl h held down by a spring j prevents backward movement of the strip. The end staple of the strip projects over the plunger channel, and over the inturned end of a leaf spring q mounted on a sliding plate n normally held at its lowest extremity by a spring p. As the plunger shears the end staple from the strip, the leaf spring prevents bending about the line of shear. The spring is pressed outwards by the further descent of the plunger. By lifting the plate n, the strip may be withdrawn from the machine in the direction of feed. The anvil w is pivoted so that it may be swung upwards and used as a handle when it is desired to drive staples without clinching them. A bolt y holds it in its erect position.
