The standard office stapler is a portable device typically used to drive a wire retention device into paper like products for the purpose of connecting multiple pages, one to the other. Once the wire has penetrated the material, a secondary function for deforming the wire into a retention form is accomplished (Bowmen).
The first fastening of papers is thought to of started in the 1200's. However instead of medal wire to connect the paper together people used a textile ribbon that was passed through parallel incisions in the upper lift hand side. This method was followed by a ribbon wax combination. There where no attempt to improve this design until King Louis XV of France in the 1700's. King Lois XV had a stapler built, but it still was no a modern stapler. It had spaces between the staples and the royal insignia (Bowmen). .
.
In the 1800"s, cast iron stapler where introduced. These curded staplers only held one staple at a time. A little later in the early 1900 the modern stapler we known began to take shape. These were made from sheet metal and were called herringbone staples because there was a space between each staple in the strip (Bowmen).
The modern staple shown below and described herein is basically a continuation of the design concept introduced above. .
Description of Parts and Their Function.
.
Base: The rectangular base provides a stable platform for the stapler. The underside of the base includes elastic padding to absorb the forces incurred when the "striker" is hammered into the staple. On the upper surface, a "fulcrum" point is provided to allow for the attachment of the "holding" track and associated parts. On the base, under the "striker", one finds the "former" die. .
.
Holding Track: The holding track is a trough like steel part intended to support the staples prior to insertion into the paper. This trough can be either internal or external to the staple.
Technology: In the Twenty-First Century, technology dominates and prevails in this modern world. Technology is all around us. There is not a day that goes by without some forms of technology being discovered. In fact, computers and technology are now part of our dail...
