20140150617 | HOLE PUNCH WITH ALIGNMENT INDICATOR - A manually-powered, lever-operated, multi-hole punch device with visual alignment indicia, for punching holes in stacked sheet media such as paper. The hole punch device includes an elongated base with a top side divided along its length in approximate halves, with the front half being a lower flat surface transitioning through a step to a rear half, upper flat surface. The upper flat surface includes a plurality of peninsulas extending into the lower flat surface, such that the areas between the peninsulas include a visual alignment indicator. Punch elements and their punch pins are located on each peninsula overlying the lower flat surface, and the height of the step creates a slot to receive the paper stack. Underneath each punch pin on the lower flat surface is a receiving hole to receive the reciprocating punch pin. An optional chip receptacle is positioned at the underside of the base. | 06-05-2014 |
20090084242 | HOLE PUNCH WITH JAM RELEASE CLIP - A hole punch apparatus with a jam release clip coupled to a push rod and a punch pin, wherein the push rod passes through a hole formed in a side of the clip, and wherein the punch pin is secured to the clip by a pair of parallel fingers at one end of the clip that engage two flat grooves formed in the sides of the punch pin. A handle of the hole punch apparatus pivots about a pivot rod, which handle front end is linked to the punch pin via the jam release clip. Pressing down on the handle advances the punch pin to cut a hole in a paper stack held inside a paper slot, and lifting up on the handle withdraws the punch pin out of the paper stack. | 04-02-2009 |
