Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A power operated stapler comprising an upper member containing a staple magazine and a reciprocable staple driver, a lower member pivoted at one end to said upper member and having a staple clinching means at its other end, a cylinder unit attached to said upper member, a piston reciprocable in said cylinder, a lever connected at one end to said driver and at its other end to said piston and pivoted intermediate its ends to said lower member, means for admitting pressure air to said cylinder to move said piston whereby said lower member will clamp the work between said upper and lower member and said lever will actuate said driver to drive a staple through the clamped work.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A power operated stapler comprising an upper member containing a staple magazine and a reciprocable staple driver, a lower member pivoted at one end to said upper member and having a staple clinching means at its other end, a cylinder unit attached to said upper member, a piston reciprocable in said cylinder, a lever connected at one end to said driver and at its other end to said piston and pivoted intermediate its ends to said lower member, means for admitting pressure air to said cylinder to move said piston whereby said lower member will clamp the work between said upper and lower member and said lever will actuate said driver to drive a staple through the clamped work.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A stapling device as set forth in claim 1, and a resilient means between said lower member and said piston whereby said lower member will resiliently clamp the material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A stapling device as set forth in claim 2, means between said spring and said piston that is operatively connected to said lever and means for exhausting said pressure air to thereby permit said resilient means to reverse fastener applying movement of the driver, the lever, the lower member and the piston.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
136 words
A power actuated stapler comprising an upper member containing a staple magazine and a staple driver reciprocable betwwen a raised normal position and a lower staple driven position, a spring resiliently biasing said driver to said normal position, a lower member pivoted at one end to said upper member and having staple clinching means at its other end, a cylinder attached to said lower member, a piston reciprocable in said cylinder, a lever connected at one end to said driver and at its other end to said piston and pivoted intermediate its ends to said lower member, means for admitting pressure air to said cylinder whereby said upper member will clamp the work between said upper and lower members and subsequently over come said spring bias to actuate said driver to drive and clinch a staple.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
136 words
A power actuated stapler comprising an upper member containing a staple magazine and a staple driver reciprocable betwwen a raised normal position and a lower staple driven position, a spring resiliently biasing said driver to said normal position, a lower member pivoted at one end to said upper member and having staple clinching means at its other end, a cylinder attached to said lower member, a piston reciprocable in said cylinder, a lever connected at one end to said driver and at its other end to said piston and pivoted intermediate its ends to said lower member, means for admitting pressure air to said cylinder whereby said upper member will clamp the work between said upper and lower members and subsequently over come said spring bias to actuate said driver to drive and clinch a staple.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A stapling device as set forth in claim 1, wherein pressure air admitted into said cylinder will exert force against said upper member to urge it to grip one side of said material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A stapling device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said cylinder depends from adjacent the pivot end of said upper and lower members to form a hand grip for the operators hand.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
39 words
A stapling device as set forth in claiM 6, wherein a lever is attached to said lower member and extends adjacent said hand grip whereby the work may be manually clamped prior to admitting pressure air to said cylinder.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
A stapling device as set forth in claim 4, wherein said cylinder depends from adjacent the pivot end of said upper and lower members to form a hand grip for the operators hand.
