ABSTRACT:
An electric stapler includes a clinching mechanism and an anvil device. The clinching mechanism bends protruding legs of a staple to fasten objects together. The anvil device includes a stationary frame, a cover and a sliding anvil mechanism. The cover is mounted on the stationary frame and has a through hole through which the legs of the driven staple protrude. The sliding anvil mechanism is mounted in the stationary frame and includes a first and a second anvil device. Each of the anvil devices includes a sliding anvil. The sliding anvils are driven toward the through hole to bend respectively the legs in the through hole. Consequently, the sliding anvils completely bend the legs protruded from the bottom of the objects to keep a person handling the stapled object from potential injury.
