An improved top-loading stapler having an internal mechanism for temporarily preventing the upper member of the stapler from closing during a loading operation. The improvement consists of an internal U-shaped spring clip that is attached to the upper member. The arms of the spring clip may be biased against the lower member such that the upper member is temporarily held in the open position under the frictional force between the arms of the spring clip and the lower member. The arms of the spring clip may also include inwardly extending detents, such that when the upper member may be positively held in the open position as the detents rest on the top of the lower member.

Top-loading stapler

An adjustable arm structure capable of being used to support comparatively heavy lamps, books and the like can be constructed so as to use two adjustable arm assemblies. Each of these assemblies uses two parallel links, one of which is attached to a sector plate. The sector plates are clamped together in the structure in a connecting joint at a location remote from where the links are pivotally connected to or in the connecting joint.
