More Information
Summary:A stapling machine for automatically clamping a locking staple around a pair of rods. A pair of gripping jaws each have a first point pivotally fixed to the machine. A driver arm operates to close the jaws at different rates of speed, securing the staple around the rods. A finger is connected to the driver arm for positioning the staple adjacent the rods upon closure of the jaws. A solenoid which actuates the driver arm also spring loads a mechanism. The spring loaded mechanism opens the jaws after the staple has been secured around the rods. A staple housing holds a plurality of staples therein. Each time the jaws are opened, the spring loading mechanism positions the front staple in the staple housing for the next operation. The staple includes an elongated member having a curved portion interconnecting a first end and a head end. The head end has an eyelet area into which the first end is inserted and crimped when the staple is positioned around the rods.
