ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for the safe and effective installation of staples. The device has a hollow body at its upper end, a cap plate with an opening attached to the upper end of the body, and a driver shaft mounted to slide within the cap plate. A block is secured within the body at the lower end of the body remote from the cap plate. The block has two channels and a striker slides through the channels. An indentation is located in the lower end of the block to hold the arch of a staple. A driver plate slides within the body and is secured to the driver shaft on one side and to both strikers on the opposite side. A driver spring and a pair of striker springs surround the driver shaft and strikers, respectively. The channels guide the strikers while the indentation positions the staple. This causes the strikers to strike the brads of the staple simultaneously, without damaging either the staple or the brads and, most importantly, the wiring or cabling the staple secures.
