ABSTRACT:
A stapler that can push staples into a surface of a paper bundle regardless of thickness of the paper bundle is provided. An exemplary embodiment of the stapler includes a vertical movement section for causing an operating handle to vertically descend together with a staple mounting magazine by pressing the operating handle while keeping the operating handle at a predetermined angle, a post-vertical movement rotating section for causing the operating handle to rotate after the staple mounting magazine vertically descends to come into contact with the paper bundle placed on a horizontal base, and a vertical position fixing section for fixing a vertical position of the staple mounting magazine by starting the rotation of the operating handle.
