A staple gun includes a housing, a striking member, a driving mechanism and a locking mechanism. The housing includes a staple outlet. The striking member is disposed on the housing. The driving mechanism includes a pressure bar which is rotatably assembled with the housing. The locking mechanism includes a locking member. The locking member is assembled with the housing and is rotatable about an axial direction to be in a locking position or a releasing position. The locking member has a stopping bump formed radially.

A hammer tacker comprises a housing, a staple holder, and a latch operatively connected to the staple holder. The latch comprises a pivotable press member that is movable about a pivot axis between a lock position and a release position. The pivotable press member is resiliently biased towards the lock position. An elongated body of the staple holder is biased towards a normal position and movable against such bias to a jam release position while the staple holder remains in the operative position. The elongated body has a rearward portion thereof extending in longitudinally overlapping relation with a rearward portion of the pivotable press member, such that pivotal movement of the pivotable press member towards the rearward portion of the elongated body causes the pivotable press member to be moved from the lock position to the release position.

A staple device with an extension rod allows an installer to use the device to hold and pull tension on a string of wired lights and secure them to a surface, such as the underside of eaves or soffits on a dwelling. The activation of the stapling device is achieved by a pushing motion against the surface to be stapled to rather than the squeezing motion of current stapling devices. The staple device also provides greater mobility to the installer as opposed to the current method of positioning and repositioning a ladder around the base of the dwelling. The present invention allows the installer to quickly traverse the base of the dwelling and install the holiday lights in a more efficient manner than with the use of a ladder and squeeze-type staple staplers.

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.

The present invention provides a hammer tacker. The hammer tacker includes a handle and a head portion. A ratio of a length l of the head portion to a length L of the hammer tacker is 1/6 to 1/4, a ratio of a width w of the head portion to the length L of the hammer tacker is over 1/2, and a ratio of a weight m of the head portion to a weight M of the hammer tacker is over 1/2. The handle includes a magnesium alloy housing that is die cast in one piece. A ratio of a weight n of the magnesium alloy housing to the weight M of the hammer tacker is over 0.3, and a thickness of the magnesium alloy housing is not less than 2 mm.

A staple gun and a method of using the same. A stapling mechanism in the housing is activated to deliver a staple through an aperture in a housing wall and drive the staple into a surface around a stack of one or more electric cables. The gun includes a reciprocating cable guide for centering the gun on the stack of cables and closing a safety switch to permit the gun's trigger to be activated. A spacer extending outwardly from the housing wall rests on the upper surface of the cable stack. The spacer and a bumper that engages a hammer of the stapling mechanism provide for automatic depth adjustment when driving the staple into the surface. A reciprocating cable guard extending outwardly from the housing wall is positioned between the stack of cables and the staple to aid in preventing the staple from piercing the cable.
