Abstract
A reverse-direction staple system for a plurality of members to be stacked on top of one another is provided. The system includes an upwardly extending staple, a staple access hole, and a staple clearance opening defined in each member to be stacked. The upwardly extending staple of each member extends through the staple access hole of a subsequent member and forms a bent staple over the subsequent member. In addition, the bent staples are received in the staple clearance opening of a second subsequent member.
