Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of stapler technology, and specifically relates to a stapler end protection device. Background Technology

[0002] A stapler is a tool used for binding paper, widely used in offices, factories, and homes. A typical stapler structure includes a base, a staple box hinged to the base, and a pressure box. The pressure box contains a stapler clip, and a folding plate on the base below the clip applies pressure to the pressure box, causing the staples to penetrate the paper and achieve the binding effect. This type of stapler is a manual stapler, requiring relatively large pressure to bind the paper. Currently, with technological advancements, many electric or pneumatic automatic staplers have emerged. These automatic staplers typically add an electric device to the pressure box of a manual stapler to achieve automatic binding.

[0003] However, existing staplers, especially industrial staplers, are designed solely for operational functionality. They contain cylinders or motors that exert significant downward pressure. These staplers do not consider user safety. If a user accidentally places their hand too close to the stapler opening while inserting the item, they risk being injured by the stapler's opening.

[0004] In view of this, the applicant conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned issues, which led to the occurrence of this case. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a stapler end protection device that can effectively prevent users from being accidentally injured by the stapler end when using the stapler.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A stapler's binding opening protection device includes a protective baffle hinged within the stapler's pressure box. The protective baffle is located outside the stapler's binding opening. The protective baffle includes a protective plate and hinged plates disposed at both ends of the protective plate. The protective plate is located outside the stapler's binding opening. One end of the hinged plate away from the protective plate is hinged to one side of the pressure box, and the other end of the hinged plate away from the protective plate is hinged to the other side of the pressure box. The end of the hinged plate near the protective plate abuts against the stapler's base.

[0008] Furthermore, the two hinge plates are respectively located in the gap between the two sides of the stapler's pressure box and the two sides of the stapler's staple box, and the thickness of the hinge plates is less than the gap between the stapler's pressure box and the stapler's staple box.

[0009] Furthermore, a slot for observing the items to be stapled is provided between the bottom of the protective plate and the base of the stapler.

[0010] Furthermore, the hinge plate has an arc-shaped guide section at one end near the stapler's binding opening, corresponding to the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the hinge plate is a hinge end that is hinged to the inner wall of the stapler's pressure box, and the other end is a fixed end that is connected to the protective plate. The width of the hinge plate gradually increases from the hinge end to the fixed end.

[0012] Furthermore, the protective plate and the hinge plate are integrally formed.

[0013] By adopting the aforementioned design scheme, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The other end of the hinge plate and the protective plate will naturally hang down and rest against the base of the stapler under the influence of gravity. When it is necessary to staple items, the user only needs to lift the protective plate slightly with his hand, put the item to be stapled into the stapler's stapler opening, and then pull his hand back before stapled. At this time, the hinged ends of the protective plate and the hinge plate will naturally hang down and rest against the base of the stapler under the influence of gravity, blocking and protecting the stapler's stapler opening. This effectively prevents the user or others from accidentally putting their hands into the stapler's stapler opening during stapled operation. After stapled, the user can simply lift the protective plate slightly with his hand to remove the item. Furthermore, because of the protective baffle, the user can clearly feel its presence while stapled, focusing more attention on the stapler opening and effectively preventing the user from being distracted during stapled operation and accidentally being crushed by the stapler.

[0015] Furthermore, the hinge end of the hinge plate is wider, which increases the area of ​​the hinge plate that covers the stapler's binding opening, thus providing better protection.

[0016] Furthermore, the slot allows users to easily observe the position of the staples during the binding process.

[0017] Furthermore, the curved guide section not only serves as a guide but also effectively prevents the items to be bound from being scratched by the bottom of the hinge plate when placed into the binding opening. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a stapler's binding end protection device includes a protective baffle 2 hinged within the stapler's pressure box 102. The protective baffle 2 is located outside the stapler's staple box 101. It should be noted that this stapler binding end protection device is an improvement upon the existing stapler structures in the art, such as those mentioned in the background section. Figure 1 As shown, the structure of this type of stapler typically includes: a base 100, a staple box 101 hinged to the base 100, and a pressure box 102. The pressure box 102 is provided with a staple pressing piece 103. A staple opening for binding is formed between the pressure box 102 and the base 100. A folding foot plate 104 is provided on the base 100 below the staple pressing piece 103. The folding foot plate 104 applies pressure to the pressure box 102 to make the staples in the staple box 101 penetrate the paper, thereby achieving the binding effect.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, the protective baffle 2 of this utility model is located outside the stapler box 101 and will not affect the stapler's binding action. Specifically, the protective baffle 2 includes a protective plate 21 and hinge plates 22 integrally formed at both ends of the protective plate 21. The protective plate 21 is located outside the stapler's binding opening. In actual use, the hinge plates 22 can be placed inside or outside the pressure box 102. Preferably, in this embodiment, the two hinge plates 22 are respectively located in the gap between the two sides of the pressure box 102 and the two sides of the stapler box 101, and the thickness of the hinge plates 22 is less than the gap between the pressure box 102 and the stapler box 101. One end of one hinge plate 22 away from the protective plate 21 is hinged to one side of the pressure box 102, and the other end of the hinge plate 22 away from the protective plate 21 is hinged to the other side of the pressure box 102. The end of the hinge plate 22 near the protective plate 21 hangs down due to its own weight and abuts against the stapler's base 100.

[0032] When not in use, since one end of the hinge plate 22 is hinged to the pressure box 102, the other end of the hinge plate 22 and the protective plate 21 will naturally hang down and rest against the base 100 of the stapler under the action of gravity. When it is necessary to staple items, the user only needs to lift the protective plate 21 slightly upwards by hand, put the item to be stapled into the stapler's stapler opening, and then pull the hand back before performing the stapler operation. At this time, the hinge end 221 of the protective plate 21 and the hinge plate 22 will naturally hang down and rest against the base 100 of the stapler under the action of gravity. The stapler base 100 covers and protects the stapler opening, effectively preventing users or others from accidentally putting their hands into the stapler opening during stapler use. After stapler use, the protective plate 21 can be lifted slightly to remove the item. Furthermore, due to the protective plate 2, users can clearly feel its presence during stapler use, focusing more attention on the stapler opening and effectively preventing users from being distracted and accidentally being crushed by the stapler.

[0033] Preferably, one end of the hinge plate 22 is a hinge end 221 that is hinged to the inner side wall of the stapler's pressure box 102, and the other end is a fixed end 222 that is connected to the protective plate 21. The width of the hinge plate 22 gradually increases from the hinge end 221 to the fixed end 222. The hinge method between the hinge plate 22 and the stapler's pressure box 102 is a conventional method. As long as the hinge effect can be achieved, it is acceptable. The specific structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The hinge end 222 of the hinge plate 22 is wider, which can increase the area of ​​the hinge plate 22 covering the stapler's binding opening, thus providing a better protective effect.

[0034] To prevent the protective plate 21 from obstructing the items to be bound during binding, preferably, a slot 211 for observing the items to be bound is provided between the bottom of the protective plate 21 and the base 100 of the stapler. This arrangement allows the user to easily observe the position of the staples during binding through the slot 211.

[0035] Preferably, in order to facilitate the placement of the item to be bound into the binding slot, the end of the hinge plate 22 near the binding slot of the stapler is provided with an arc-shaped guide section 223 corresponding to the slot 211. The arc-shaped guide section 223 can not only play a guiding role, but also effectively prevent the item to be bound from being scratched by the bottom of the hinge plate 22 when it is placed into the binding slot.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
