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 fastener driving tool includes a striking member mounted in a housing for reciprocal movement relative to a fastener striking opening, a leaf spring engaging with the striking member at an end, and having a flexible section anchored by an anchoring unit, and a press handle pivotably connected with the anchoring unit, and having an elongated guide slot in which a pivot axle is movably engaged. The press handle is pivotable from a ready position, where the anchoring unit anchors the flexible section, through an intermediate position, where the anchoring unit is moved upwardly and rearwardly to cause resilient deflection of the leaf spring and load the leaf spring with an accumulated biasing energy, to a striking position, where the anchoring unit abuts against and is counteracted upon the pivot axle or a stop peg to be disengaged from the leaf spring so as to release the biasing energy.

A preferably pliers type stapler is disclosed with a staple loading structure that is both simplified and easy to operate. A lower handle and base are connected to the body through a pivoting and cam system. A single motion pulls the lower handle and base away from the body to expose a staple track location for loading staples at a bottom of the body. Preferably the same single motion releases the track to move outward from a rear of the body. In one embodiment a compact simplified structure using a preferably torsion spring provides a low cost reliable spring energized system.

A multiple strike fastener driver/holder is provided and includes a fastener drive assembly, a catch, and a feeder assembly. The drive assembly includes an anvil mounted in a frame to translate in an impact direction to drive a fastener into a work surface and to translate an opposite direction to allow another fastener to be positioned for driving into a work surface. The feeder assembly is configured to carry a plurality of fasteners and to sequentially position each fastener of the plurality of fasteners relative to the fastener drive assembly to be driven into a work surface. The catch includes a catch tab having a pair of spaced surfaces that engage an elongate shaft of the anvil with the catch in the first condition to restrict translation of the anvil in the opposite direction.

In accordance with one aspect, an applicator is provided for applying staple fasteners to an end of a conveyor belt. The applicator provides advancing, clenching, staple driving, and final set operations that are coordinated by a drive of the applicator. In one form, the drive includes a cam plate and the applicator includes a handle that may be pivoted to turn the cam plate through a range of motion. Turning of the cam plate causes cam followers received in cam paths of the cam plate to shift and operate the mechanisms of the applicator. A method of using an applicator to apply conveyor belt fasteners is also provided.
