Abstract
A protective sleeve for a powered tacking machine is in the form of a single piece sleeve member formed of a resilient memoried polymeric material shape to encase the body of the stapler, has bottom and size openings to accommodate the stapling head and the handle of the stapling machine and a top opening to allow convection cooling of the body of the stapling machine. A further slit is provided connecting the side and bottom openings in said sleeve member such that the bottom portion of the sleeve member can be opened to accommodate placement on the machine, the material memory thereafter returning the material to its original shape on the tacking machine, such that no other means is required for retaining the sleeve member on the tacking machine.
