20090267034 | STAPLE REMOVER - A staple remover device having first and second opposed, elongated jaws extending from a lower end of the remover toward an upper end of the remover. The jaws are pivoted to the remover at the upper end. With the remover in a substantially perpendicular orientation above a horizontal work surface, the first jaw moves toward the second jaw, actuated by a user's finger pressure. A handle extends along the remover device, the handle being normally operationally fixed to a jaw by a link including a latch, and at a pre-determined position of the first jaw to the second jaw, a release rib of at least one jaw causes the latch to suddenly de-link the handle from the jaw, wherein the de-linked handle moves in relation to the jaw and moving the handle in relation to the jaw causes the other jaw to rise, lifting out the staple. | 10-29-2009 |
20100187487 | STAPLE REMOVER - A staple remover, with a staple removing blade, for removing a staple from a stack of sheets of paper. The staple remover prevents staple jams by providing a means for automatically discarding removed staples from the staple removing blade. The staple remover comprises a storage compartment and an elongate staple removing blade. The elongate staple removing blade comprises a longitudinally extending staple pulling surface and a laterally flared portion located at the apex of the staple pulling surface. The geometry of the elongate staple removing blade substantially resiliently deforms the legs of the staple, allowing the legs to spring back towards each other and project the staple into the storage compartment. | 07-29-2010 |
20100207080 | Staple remover - The staple remover is a device that effectively removes staples, especially staples that have already been partially removed. The device includes top and bottom jaws that are pivotally connected in pliers-like fashion. A conventional spring biases the jaws apart. Each jaw is provided with a toothed or serrated-like inner surface. The outer surface of each jaw is padded to enhance ergonomic dexterity and comfort. An elongate prong extends from the front surface of the bottom jaw. | 08-19-2010 |
20110127474 | STAPLE REMOVER - A staple remover includes: a fixed seat including a front end portion and a bottom surface; a staple removing blade including a tip disposed in the front end portion, and an elongate staple passing surface inclined relative to the bottom surface; a moving seat disposed pivotally on the fixed seat; a staple retracting unit including a staple retracting member movable relative to the staple removing blade and having a claw, and a first biasing member for biasing the claw to contact the staple passing surface; and a motion transmitting mechanism including a first member connected to the moving seat, and a second member connected to the claw. When the moving seat is pivoted relative to the fixed seat to convert from a non-pressed state to a pressed state, the claw is moved from an extended position to a retracted position. | 06-02-2011 |
20130168621 | STAPLE REMOVAL EQUIPMENT - Staple removal equipment is provided. The staple removal equipment has a detecting unit which detects a position of a staple stapling a paper bundle, a striking portion which strikes the staple, and a removing unit which removes the staple from the paper bundle. | 07-04-2013 |
20140027687 | CONSTRUCTION STAPLE REMOVAL TOOL - A rod with termini that are used to remove construction staples, which are utilized in housing construction and electrical assemblies. Each terminus is J-shaped and is configured to pry a closed-end loop of a U-shaped construction staple so as to ease its removal. One terminus has a flatter profile to reach difficult spots where construction staples are located. The other terminus has a hook profile. | 01-30-2014 |
20140217338 | Staple Remover - An automatic staple remover in a gun-shaped housing comprises a trigger that engages a series of levers and one or more springs that ultimately engage a rotating tumbler. Alternatively, the trigger engages an electric motor and gears, or a pneumatic motor and lever arrangement, or a combination of levers and motors to engage the rotating tumbler. Around the perimeter of the tumbler are one or more teeth capable of sliding under a staple. Positioned below the tumbler a removable receptacle catches removed staples. Additionally, the automatic staple remover can include stapler components side-by-side in the same housing that can be engaged by a common trigger. Stapler components comprise a series of levers and springs, a blade assembly, and a plurality of staples in a sleeve. Alternatively, stapler components can include pneumatic motor components or electric motor components. | 08-07-2014 |
20140299824 | STAPLE-PULLING TOOL AND A METHOD FOR ITS USE - The present staple-pulling tool is configured to facilitate the removal of carpet pad staples from floors by a standing user. Specifically, the staple-pulling tool can comprise a handle section, a blade section, and a fulcrum. The handle section can be configured to have an adjustable length capable of fitting users of varying heights. The blade section can be connected to the handle section at an angle. The blade section can comprise a series of teeth that can accommodate the width of carpet pad staples. The fulcrum can be located beneath the handle section and can comprise one or more wheels. The wheels can help a user to move the staple-pulling tool and can also provide leverage for the user to pull the staples. When a user pushes down on the handle, the teeth can pull the carpet pad staples from the floor. | 10-09-2014 |
