Abstract
A spring energized stapler includes a 'high-start' design wherein a striker has an initial rest position above the staple track. A handle is pressed to energize a power spring while the striker remains stationary. At a predetermined position of the handle, the striker is released to eject a staple. A subassembly of a cage and the power spring provides a preload to the power spring in the rest position. The subassembly is separately movable from the handle to allow a handle pressing end to move father than a cage front end travel distance. A lever links the striker to the power spring to provide leverage upon the power spring. The lever and cage/spring subassembly are nested in a compact assembly. A safety lock includes a two step action to restrict motion of the striker, and fits a notch in a bottom of the striker.
