A cap hammer for driving a staple through a cap into a work surface. The cap hammer includes a staple magazine configured to hold a plurality of staples, a cap magazine disposed beneath the staple magazine and configured to hold a horizontal stack of caps, an internal guide body disposed at a forward end of the cap hammer, a cap driver blade disposed within the internal guide body configured to shear a cap from the stack of caps, a staple driver blade disposed within the internal guide body configured to shear a staple from the plurality of staples, and a work contact element disposed at the forward end of the cap hammer and configured to activate the cap driver blade and the staple driver blade when depressed against a work surface.

A stapler is provided, including: a main body, having a front end and a rear end; a magazine, disposed in the main body having an outlet end; a striker, disposed in the main body and located between the front end and the outlet end along the longitudinal direction; a driving mechanism, connected to the striker to optionally drive the striker to strike the staple; a pressing element, located in the main body and between the striker and the outlet end along the longitudinal direction, the pressing element being movable between an original position and a pressed position, the original position being higher than the pressed position, the pressing element having a tendency to stay on the original position, when the pressing element is located on the pressed position, the pressing element presses the staples which are exposed outside the outlet end of the magazine.

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.

A magazine assembly and a stapler including the same are provided. The magazine assembly includes a base and a rail assembly. The base has a first end portion and a second end portion. A direction from the second end portion toward the first end portion is defined as a first direction. The rail assembly is disposed on the base and adapted for a staple unit to slidably abut thereagainst along the first direction. The rail assembly includes a first rail and a second rail which are separate. A first side wall of the first rail has at least one guide portion extending in the first direction. Each guide portion is adapted for a head of a T-shaped staple to slidably engage therewithalong the first direction. The second rail is adapted for a U-shaped staple to abut thereagainst.

A driving tool having a trigger, such that after the trigger is on-operated, a contact restriction member starts to rotate to a lock side while rotation resistance is applied thereto by a rotation resistance applying member. A lock portion enters a lock receiving portion to prohibit an on-operation of a contact arm after a reference time has passed after the on-operation of the trigger. As a result, an inadvertent driving operation can be prevented. A mechanical timer mechanism allows for a timer control to be effected under an environment where electric power cannot be supplied.

A stapler comprises a base (1), a staple pin track (2), a top blade assembly (3), a hinge (4) and an upper cover (5). Tail ends of the staple pin track, the top blade assembly and the upper cover are all hingedly connected to a tail end of the base. A first guide part is disposed on a side wall of the upper cover, and one end of the hinge is slidably connected to the first guide part. The first guide part is set in a structure that when the upper cover is pressed, one end of the hinge can move to the tail end of the upper cover and press downwards. A second guide part is disposed on the side wall of the base, and the other end of the hinge is slidably connected to the second guide part. The second guide part is set in a structure that when the upper cover is pressed, the other end of the hinge can move to a front end of the base, and when the upper cover is opened, the other end of the hinge is separated from the base. A middle part of the hinge is hingedly connected to a middle of the top blade assembly, and the first guide part is close to the tail end of the upper cover. The present invention has a good labor-saving effect and makes it convenient to put in staple pins.
