The present invention relates to a punch for punching a workpiece. In particular, the invention relates to a punch including a base to stably support the punch and a support member configured to accommodate and locate the workpiece in a punching position. The support member is preferably movably connected to the base and preferably includes at least one punch member configured and operably associated with the support portion to punch the workpiece in the punching position upon an actuation movement of the support member with respect to the base. Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a punch having a paper tray oriented at an angle with respect to the base to support a sufficient portion of a sheet of paper to prevent an unsupported portion from falling over and withdrawing from the support portion. In particular, the paper tray and punch mechanism are oriented to expel paper chips such that the chips are visible to an operator as they are punched.

Binder

A binder, with a first panel and at least one fastener. The fastener has a base attached to the panel and a binding member positionable in a closed position defining a closed loop, and in an open position in which the loop is open for mounting and dismounting sheets thereto. A lock is disposed in close proximity with the base and in releasable locking association with the binding member in the closed position. A lever is operatively connected with the lock such that depressing the lever in an unlocking direction causes the lock to release the binding member from the closed position.

Stapler

The present invention discloses a hand held stapler which can be used for joining sets of different numbers of paper sheets. The stapler has a stapling arm with a lever which extend past a pivot position by a length greater than the magazine of the stapler by an amount sufficient to provide a substantially increased leverage for driving staples during the stapling operation.

Holder for a communication device

A holder (100) for a portable electronic device (600) comprises a mountable housing (102), a latching mechanism (104), and an electrical connector (101). The portable electronic device (600) has a bottom surface (608) defining a slot (800) and a front edge (610) including an electrical connector (624). The mountable housing (102) has a first end (151) and a second end (153). The latching mechanism (104) is movably disposed on the first end (151) and includes a biasing element exerting a force on the latching mechanism (104) in a direction towards the second end (153). The electrical connector (101) is positioned on the second end (153) and includes electrical contacts facing the first end (151). When the portable electronic device (600) is properly inserted within the holder (100), the latching mechanism (104) engages the slot (800) for securing the portable electronic device (600) within the holder (100) and for establishing and maintaining an electrical connection between electrical connectors (101, 624).
