STAPLER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to reduce the time/labor for after-treatment, secure safety and mitigate a burden to be brought to bear on a body by pasting pieces of paper to each other with the help of a paste instead of a staple. SOLUTION: A bundle of the pieces of paper are inserted into a base 1, then a fitment is pulled near to the user and a roller 2 rotates by the passage of paper. Further, the rotation is transmitted to a gear 3, reducing the number of revolution, and in turn, a shaft 4 coupled with the gear 3 is rotated. Thus a thread 5 is taken up, a plate 6 with a connected paste inserted is drawn near to the user, and a consequently, a paste bag 7 is pressed to extrude the paste out to a box 9 passing through a tube 8. After that, the paste is squeezed out of an application part 10, and applied to the side surface of the paper bundle. Finally, the pasted paper bundle is pressed/stuck, passing through an ejection part 11 by the movement of the fitment near to the user. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
