Abstract
The present invention is directed to a device for limiting the force exerted on an actuating mechanism for a binding device and/or a perforating/punching device, with the actuating mechanism being comprised of a rotary shaft coupled to the corresponding movable part of the binding and/or perforating/punching device, such that a rotary motion of the shaft is converted into a translational motion of the corresponding movable part of the binding and/or perforating device. There; is provided in the actuating mechanism a coupling mechanism which performs a decoupling function automatically when the force exerted on the actuating mechanism exceeds a maximum permissible value.
