20110017799 | STAPLE POCKET ARRANGEMENT FOR SURGICAL STAPLER - A staple pocket arrangement on the anvil portion of a surgical stapler device includes pairs of staple pockets corresponding to each one of a plurality of staples to be closed. The staple pockets may have a generally triangular shape when viewed from above. Each respective staple leg is received at a longitudinal end of the staple pocket that provides a relatively wide target area for receiving the staple leg to eliminate or at least minimize the likelihood that a staple leg will miss the staple pocket due to, e.g., misalignment between a first jaw of the surgical stapler having the anvil and a second jaw of the surgical stapler having a cartridge configured to fire the staples. The staple pockets may be arranged in rows, each row of staple pockets being longitudinally offset from another row, such that each staple pocket in a first row of staple pockets is nested with a staple pocket from an adjacent row of staple pockets to make more efficient use of space on the anvil. | 01-27-2011 |

20130001269 | STAPLER - A clincher unit is provided with a pair of clinchers for bending two legs of a staple; and a clincher driving mechanism for rotating and moving the clinchers in separating/contacting directions. The clincher driving mechanism moves the pair of clinchers in an approaching direction each other, as a movement of starting to bend the legs of the staple having penetrated the sheets. | 01-03-2013 |
20130032624 | STAPLER - A stapler includes a driver mechanism and a clincher mechanism. The clincher mechanism includes a base, a clincher resiliently supported on the base such that the clincher is biased toward the driver mechanism, and a clincher guide having a guide portion configured to guide a movement of the clincher. The guide portion has an inner peripheral surface that forms a through hole extending through the clincher guide and surrounds an outer periphery of the clincher. The inner peripheral surface has recessed surface portions extending from a surface of the clincher guide facing the driver mechanism, such that a gap is provided between the clincher and the recessed surface portions. The recessed surface portions are formed at locations corresponding to portions of the clincher where distal ends of the leg portions of the staple hit. | 02-07-2013 |
20140076954 | PALLET NAIL CLINCHING APPARATUS AND METHODS - An apparatus and methods for clinching nails into workpieces are provided. The apparatus can include a housing assembly including a driving assembly capable of driving a fastener. A nose piece can be arranged with the housing assembly and can define a fastener drive track. A clinching assembly can be arranged with the housing assembly and can include a movable anvil including an anvil tip portion. The movable anvil is capable of being moved into a position whereby the workpieces are held between the anvil tip portion and the nosepiece, while the anvil tip portion is operable to bend a fastener tip into one of the workpieces after being driven through the workpieces. | 03-20-2014 |
20140203060 | FLAT CLINCH STAPLER ANVIL ASSEMBLY - A flat clinch assembly fits upon or within a base of a stapling device. The assembly preferably includes a slot with extended resiliently biased arms or toggles, where a rest position has the arms at or near a level of a working surface. An ejecting staple deflects and energizes the arms to cause the arms to rotate and create a clearance recess whereby points of the staple legs slide inward along the anvil. A restorative bias acting on the arms causes the arms to rebound to a rest position and to bend the legs upward. The legs thereby are normally pressed flat against the back sheet of a paper stack at the working surface. The arms or toggles are lightweight whereby the inertia of a fast moving staple moves the arms or toggles. | 07-24-2014 |
20150102086 | CLENCHING ADAPTER FOR AUTOMATIC NAILERS - A clenching adapter for use with automatic nailers tools is provided, which mounts to a nailer tool, and which extends behind a two-layer workpiece and curls the tip of a driven nail on the opposite side of the multiple-layer workpiece. The adapter includes a movable extension link that pivots on a proximal end, due to the action of an air cylinder actuator, and that pivoting motion causes an anvil mounted on its distal end to grasp the opposite (bottom) side of the workpiece, while also positioning the anvil to a location where it intercepts the nail that will be fired through the workpiece by the nailer tool. The anvil mechanism rotates from a “relaxed” position that fits within a gap in the boards of a workpiece, to an actuated “ready” position that receives and curls the nail, for clenching a multi-substrate workpiece. The actuations are automatically sequenced, in one embodiment. | 04-16-2015 |
