ABSTRACT:
A stapler apparatus includes a fixed frame, a movable frame pivotably mounted to the fixed frame, a staple driving device, and a staple bending device to bend the staples. A drive mechanism reciprocally moves the movable frame with respect to the fixed frame to clamp a stack of sheets between the fixed frame and the movable frame. A transmission member is movably supported on the movable frame without any connection utilizing an elongated slot. An urging member is disposed to bias the transmission member with respect to the movable frame, the transmission member being coupled to the drive mechanism such that the drive mechanism engages and moves the transmission member with respect to the movable frame, thereby overcoming the bias of the urging member, to compensate for a stack height of the stack of sheets clamped between the fixed frame and the movable frame.
