Short Mechanism Description of a Stapler
In office stationary, a stapler is a portable device that binds together sheets of paper by driving a thin metal band through the sheets and folding over the ends to secure the paper.
A typical office stapler is approximately 30 cm long, 6 cm wide, and 6 cm tall. The stapler is made of rubber, plastic, and metal.
The main components of an office stapler include the base, the anvil, the magazine, the metal head, the case, the hanger, and the springs. To use a stapler, two or more sheets of paper are inserted, by their top left corner, between the metal head and the anvil. The metal head is then squeezed or driven downwards, pushing the staple through paper onto the anvil, which bends the sides of the staple inwards. STRUCTURE… 1) Context
