A stapling apparatus includes a stapler, a driver to move the stapler, and a guide part to define a moving path along which the stapler is to move in response to selection of the moving path among a plurality of moving paths along which the stapler is movable.

A paper-made staple binds a sheet bundle subjected to folding processing by a folding blade and a folding roller. The paper-made staple includes a pair of leg portions inserted into the sheet bundle and then bent inward; and a connection portion that connects the leg portions in a staple longitudinal direction. The connection portion has, at an edge portion thereof, a cut in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction so as to correspond to a predetermined folding position of the sheet bundle for the purpose of facilitating the folding of the connection portion, and the cut is formed inward from the edge portion so as to have a substantially triangular shape and is provided on both edge portions of the connection portion of the paper-made staple.

A machine for continuously forming heat-reflective blanks is provided. The heat-reflective blanks each include a blank of sheet material and a thermal film patch coupled to the blank. The machine includes an intake station configured to align a first blank of sheet material and a second blank of sheet material for application of a first thermal film patch and a second thermal film patch, respectively. The intake station is further configured to maintain a spacing between the first blank and the second blank. The intake station includes adjustable hold-down bars for maintaining an alignment and the spacing of the first and second blanks. The machine also includes an applicator station configured to apply the first and second thermal film patches to the first and second blanks, respectively, to form a first heat-reflective blank and a second heat-reflective blank, and an ejection station configured to eject the heat-reflective blanks.

A hand held device for manually holding a multi-page document with a U-shaped element having a ring-shaped extension at one end of an elongated leg and a shorter leg parallelly spaced therefrom by a right angle extension at the opposite end of the elongated leg whereby the shorter leg is inserted between the pages along the inner side of the multi-page document's binding and the longer leg is positioned along the outer side of the multi-page document's binding such that a person can support the multi-page document with one hand by inserting, in part, a preselected finger of one hand through the ring-shaped extension.
