Manual envelope sealer

A hand operated combination two-and-three-hole puncher for making holes in paper and other sheet materials is shown and described. The two-hole punch assembly and the three-hole punch assembly are fixedly disposed on the common platform either in-line, or at a predetermined angle, to each other in such manner that both punch assemblies share a common punch subassembly and a common foot. The common punch subassembly could be activated using either the press lever frame of the two-hole punch assembly or the press lever frame of the three-hole punch assembly thus enabling the common punch subassembly to punch a hole in the process of the two-hole perforation or the three-hole perforation without the readjustment.

A stamp affixer apparatus and method is disclosed. A top shell, bottom shell attached to the top shell, and a stamp housing is provided. A first gear assembly is rotatably attached to the stamp housing. A second gear assembly is engaged with the first gear assembly and rotatably attached to the stamp housing. A drive roller is fixedly attached to the second gear assembly. A roll of adhesive backed stamps on backing paper may be inserted in a portion of the stamp housing. A lead-in portion of the backing paper is attached to a shaft portion of the first gear assembly. As the drive roller is pulled along a desired surface, its rotation is translated through the second gear assembly to the first gear assembly. The first gear assembly winds up the backing paper and an adhesive backed stamp is dispensed against the surface.

A rotary paper trimmer for cutting sheet material and method of using the trimmer is disclosed. The rotary paper trimmer has a base, a pressure pad, and a blade holder assembly. The pressure pad has a guide rail and a gear track attached to its upper surface. A blade holder assembly has a outer shell slidably attached to the guide rail, a shaft rotatably attached to the shell, a circular blade attached to the shell and adjacent a lateral edge of the base, and a gear attached to the shaft. As the blade holder assembly is slid on the guide rail the gear engages with the gear track and rotates the shaft and circular blade to cut sheet material inserted between the pressure pad and base.

The invention provides a label dispenser for separating adhesive backed labels from their backing paper and method of operating the same. The label dispenser comprises a base, and a body attached to a top surface of the base and having a motor housing portion, a microswitch housing portion, and an upper tray portion. A gear motor is enclosed in the motor housing portion and has an opening for receiving a shaft. The shaft extends outside the motor housing portion and below the upper tray portion through an opening formed in a side wall of the motor housing portion. A microswitch is attached to an inner wall of the microswitch housing portion. The microswitch is electrically connected to the motor and has a lever arm extending upward into an opening formed in the microswitch housing portion.
