Abstract
A staple-former () in a stapler () that uses a driver blade () to drive staples (), preferably into a sheaf of paper (). The stapler contains a magazine () of staple blanks (). A feed device () advances staple blanks onto an integral bending die () for bending into staple shape. Each staple has a first and a second leg () and a crown portion (). The staple-former () includes first and second leg-bending parts () and crown-forming part (). A staple forms when a drive device (), moves the leg-bending parts () and the crown-forming part over the bending die () causing a staple blank () to assume a staple shape. The staple-former then reciprocates to its starting positions, the staple advances to the driver blade (), and a biasing element () urges the crown-forming part () away from the staple-former ().
