ABSTRACT:
A staple remover, with a plurality of magnets by which staples that have been removed are captured and held until they can be suitably disposed of. The staple remover has a first channel member, with a front end from which prongs extend, and a rear end and a second channel member, smaller in width than the first channel member, with a front end from which prongs extend towards the prongs of the first channel member, and a rear end pivotally attached to the rear end of the first channel member, so that the second channel member fits inside the first channel member. The channel members can move between an open position in which the prongs are separated, to a closed position in which the prongs overlap so as to grasp and remove staples from paper or other material in which they are embedded. There are supporting members attached to the channel members, with two or more magnets attached to the supporting members. In the preferred embodiment, there are wings extending from the left and right sides of each supporting member, and there is one magnet attached to each wing. Preferably, the magnets are disk shaped, are inserted into cylindrical recesses in each wing, and are attached with an adhesive material.
