Abstract (en)

A stapling apparatus (23) with a safety device for a stapler prevents staples from popping out of the stapler (20) when a user troubleshoots the stapler. The stapling apparatus (23) is pivotally attached to a stapler (20) and has a housing (231), a sliding front cover (24) slidably mounted on the housing (231) and a safety device having a positive stop (11) formed on the housing (231) and a stop lip (12) formed on the sliding front cover (24). The sliding front cover (24) is pushed upward to remove lodged staples, the stop lip (12) abuts the positive stop (11) to limit movement of the sliding front cover (24). Therefore, the staples are still held in the housing (231) by the sliding front cover (24). <IMAGE>
