A stapler is provided, including: a main body, a striking mechanism, a staple straightening mechanism and a linkage mechanism. The main body includes an inner space and a staple outlet. The striking mechanism is disposed in the inner space and includes a striking member configured to strike a staple and a driving member by which the striking member is driven to move relative to the staple outlet. The staple straightening mechanism is disposed on the main body and includes an aperture corresponding to the staple outlet, at least one abutting member being movable within the aperture and a force accumulating assembly which is movable toward the aperture. The linkage mechanism is disposed in the inner space. The driving member and the force accumulating assembly are connected with the linkage mechanism and comovable with each other.

A compact, electric, spring energized desktop stapler having a unitized housing providing both an external movable enclosure and a support frame for internal parts is disclosed. The internal power train is preferably elongated with the motor at the rear, a gear set toward the center, and low profile lever and power spring assembly at the front. The lever engages a striker with a normal upper rest position where the power spring is deflected and energized. A cam roller mounted to a final gear holds down the rear of the lever until the system is activated when the final gear rotates and the cam roller rolls off the end of the lever. In the unitized body, the base is pivotally attached to the body at the rear. A base lever selectively links to a cam roller or equivalent structure to move the body downward toward the base during a cycle.

A positioning structure of stapler handle includes a buckle assembly and a buckle member. The buckle assembly includes a first coupling portion and a pushing unit connected together. The buckle member includes a first second coupling portion and a pushed unit connected together. The first coupling portion is adapted for being coupled with the second coupling portion. The pushed unit is located at the movement path of the buckle assembly.

A stapling tool assembly may include a nosepiece assembly with a driver channel through which a staple is driven into a workpiece. The stapling tool assembly may also include a wire alignment contact trip with a contact foot. The contact foot may include a peripheral guide wall that defines a workpiece contact edge. The workpiece contact edge may include at least one wire alignment recess and at least one opposing wire alignment recess in the workpiece contact edge. The at least one wire alignment recess and the at least one opposing wire alignment recess can cooperate to define a first and a second wire positioning path to align the wire in two different orientations relative to the drive channel. The at least one wire alignment recess can have a first overall length that is different than a second overall length of the at least one opposing wire alignment recess.

A fastener driving tool includes a striking member and an energy storing unit disposed in a housing. The energy storing unit has at least one torsion spring having forwardly extending short and long legs which are connected to a pivotable handle and the striking member. An anchoring member is disposed forwardly of and slidable relative to the handle and is detachably engaged with the striking member. During a pivotal movement of the handle, the short and long legs of the torsion spring are moved in opposite directions to store a biasing energy and to force the striking member upwards, which in turn moves the striking member downward for performing a fastener striking stroke once the anchoring member is disengaged from the striking member to release the torsion spring.

A composite laminate reinforcing tool may be used to form a reinforced joint at a bond line of a composite laminate structure. The tool may hold one or more clips having posts, and the tool may be positioned along the bond line between at least two composite laminate elements. Joint sections of the clip may be heated to increase a pliability of the joint section, and the tool may be actuated to drive the post through the at least two composite laminate elements. The posts may be deflected toward a base of the clip, thereby to seat the clip. The reinforced composite laminate structure may then be cured.
