Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel stapler that emits a sound during joint operation and that notifies the remaining amount of staples by the sound.

Hitherto, this type of stapler has not existed, and since it does not have a function to notify in advance when there will be no remaining staples, it has sometimes caused problems in joint work using the stapler.

The present invention provides a novel stapler that not only emits a sound during joint operation, but also uses the sound to notify in advance when there will be no remaining staples.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the stapler according to the present invention, in which 1 is a handle having a driver 2 for driving a needle in its front part, and 3 is a handle that accommodates a needle 4 and is used for driving a needle. A needle storage frame 6 having a needle pusher 5 for pushing the needle 4 forward is a large base having a recess 6a in its front part, and the handle 1,
The pin 7 is attached to the rear part of the needle storage frame 3 and the pedestal 6.
It is rotatably pivoted by.

A spring 8 is stretched between the locking projection 3a of the needle housing frame 3 and the locking projection 5a of the needle pusher 5.

Therefore, the needle pusher 5 always pushes the needle 4 forward,
It slides according to the remaining amount of the needle 4.

5b is an operating protrusion formed by bending a part of the needle pusher 5 upward, and when storing the needle 4, the operating finger is pressed to move the needle pusher 5 backward against the spring 8. It is for hanging.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a push spring that is integrally formed with the driver 2, and is elastically loaded between the handle 1 and the needle storage frame 3, and 10 is a push spring that is formed between the needle storage frame 3 and the main stand 6. It is a push spring loaded in between.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a sounding member, which is disposed on the lower surface of the handle 1 to face the operating protrusion 5b of the needle pusher 5 within the movement range A, and generates a sound when the lower surface is pressed upward. Something that makes a sound.

The specific structure of the sound generating member 11 will be described later.

The movement range A of the operating protrusion 5b is from movement position B when the needles 4 are sufficiently accommodated to movement position C when the remaining amount of accommodation of the needles 4 has decreased to a very small amount of, for example, about 5 needles. This is the movement range.

Next, the operation will be explained.

By pushing the handle 1 downward,
The driver 2 inserts the needle 4 at the front end into the recess 6a of the main base 6.
The paper or the like (not shown) interposed between the needle accommodating frame 3 and the stand 6 is jointed.

The operating protrusion 5b of the needle pusher 5 within the movement range A intermittently hits the lower surface of the sounding member 11 during the joint operation of the stapler.

Therefore, the sound-producing member 11 emits an exciting sound when the stapler is operated at the joint during a period from when the staples 4 are fully accommodated to when the remaining amount of the staples 4 becomes very small. Further, when the remaining amount of the needle 4 becomes less than the above-mentioned minute amount, no sound is generated.

Therefore, when the sound generating member 11 does not make a sound during joint operation, it is notified that the remaining amount of the needle 4 is very small.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the first embodiment
A sounding member 11 is disposed on the lower surface of the handle 1 to face the operation protrusion 5b in the movement range D outside the movement range A in the embodiment. This is to notify that the remaining amount of 4 is very small.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the number of needles 4 decreases from a state in which a sufficient number of needles 4 are accommodated to a state in which a new set of needles 4 can be replenished and accommodated. A sound generating member 11 is disposed on the lower surface of the handle 1 so as to face the operating protrusion 5b within the movement range E.

Therefore, the sounding member 11 emits an exciting sound when the operation protrusion 5b is located within the movement range E, and by not emitting the exciting sound, it is possible to replenish a new set of needles 4. It is reported that the number of needles 4 has decreased to the point where they can be accommodated.

FIG. 5 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and the third embodiment shown in FIG.
A sounding member 11 is provided on the lower surface of the handle 1 in order to face the operation protrusion 5b in the moving range F outside the moving range E in the embodiment, and the sounding member 11 emits an interesting sound to generate a new sound. This is to notify that the number of needles 4 has decreased to the point where a collection of needles 4 can be replenished.

Note that the sound generating member 11 is placed in the handle 1 so as to face the operating protrusion 5b in the entire range of movement from the state in which the needle 4 is fully housed until the needle 4 is completely removed.
The handle 1 may also be provided on the lower surface of the handle 1.
The placement position of the sound generating member 11 on the lower surface portion is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and is arbitrary.

Further, an abutting member that comes into contact with and separates from the sounding member 11 may be provided on the needle pusher 5 separately from the operating projection 5b.

Further, the sounding member 11 may be provided on the needle pusher 5 side, and an abutting member that abuts the sounding member 11 may be provided on the lower surface side of the handle 1.
It is also possible to arrange the needle pusher 5 and the stand 6 to face each other.

Next, a specific configuration of the sound generating member 11 will be explained.

FIGS. 6a and 6b show a sounding board 12 of a snap type, and the recessed part 12
Fix the side part 12a of c and make the recessed part 12c.
When the other side operation part 12b is moved upward, the recessed part 12c is reversed and emits a reversal sound, and when the operating force is released, the recessed part 12c is reversed and returned to emit a sound. For example, in the case of the second embodiment of the present invention, the operation section 1
2b is arranged on the lower surface of the handle 1 to face the operating protrusion 5b within the movement range D. Furthermore, sound board 1
2 may be integrally formed with the driver 2, the push spring 9, the handle 1, etc.

FIG. 7 shows a blowing bag 14 having a whistle 13, and shows the blowing bag 1 when its lower surface 14a is pressed upward or when the pressure is released.
4, the flute 13 acts as a whistle. For example, in the case of the first embodiment of the present invention, the lower surface portion 14a faces the operating protrusion 5b within the movement range A. It is arranged on the lower surface of the handle 1. 15 is a spring.

It should be noted that the sound generating member 11 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be arbitrarily arranged, for example, by arranging a plurality of blowing bags in series so that the sounding sound changes depending on the contact position of the contact member.

Further, the type of sound produced by the sound generating member 11 can be arbitrarily set to, for example, sounds similar to the sounds of various animals.

The present invention has the above configuration and operation, and has the following effects.

Since it emits an interesting sound when operating the joint, it can provide an interesting stapler.

According to the movement of the needle pusher based on the change in the remaining amount of the needle,
Since the sound generating member shifts to a state in which sound generation is enabled or disabled, it is possible to clearly notify the time when the remaining amount of the needle is exhausted by a change in the sound of interest.

Further, since it is only necessary to additionally provide a sound generating member, it is possible to extremely easily configure and provide the device.
