Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2030736A1] A stapler has a center of gravity and comprises a base assembly (10), a magazine assembly (20) and a trigger assembly (30). The magazine assembly (20) connects to the base assembly (10) and has a cap (24). The trigger assembly (30) connects to the base assembly (10) and has a trigger lever (33) and a limiting lever (31). The limiting lever (31) prevents the trigger lever (33) and the cap (24) from pivoting excessively to keep the center of gravity of the stapler over the base assembly (10) so that refilling the stapler is convenient.
