Abstract (en)

A fastening device (100) such as, for example, a forward acting stapler includes a manually operable latch (118) in order to store the built up potential energy that results from depressing the handle (104) of the fastening device (100). Upon actuation of the latch (118), the plunger (114) within the fastening device is released, thereby converting the stored energy of an internal compression spring (121) into kinetic energy and ejecting a fastener (such as, for example, staples, nails or other types of fasteners) from the staple chamber to fasten an object.
