<description id="desc" lang="en"><!-- EPO <DP n="1"> -->
<p id="p0001" num="0001"><b>Technical Field:</b> The idea of the Laundry stapler and Labeler stapler, respectively (in short: Labeler stapler) was invented to be used by/to help the workers/staff of the laundries/dry cleans' shops to finish their work faster, easier, safer, and in more professional environment, along with usual using of the regular staplers.</p>
<p id="p0002" num="0002"><b>Technical Background:</b> As a part of the laundering/washing/cleaning process and before having the textiles/clothes inside the washing/drying machine and through the watching of the whole washing process in many laundries, each piece of clothes or textiles must be attached with a small label shows the invoice number to which it belongs, before keeping it inside the washing/ drying machine.</p>
<p id="p0003" num="0003">The process of attaching the labels to the textiles/ customer's clothes takes a long time and tough efforts, starting from cutting the paper notes into smaller pieces, ending by stapling them one by one using the regular stapler on each piece of the customer's clothes,</p>
<p id="p0004" num="0004"><patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="WO2004062856A2"><text>WO 2004/062856 A2</text></patcit> discloses a labeler stapler which combines both of a labeling and a stapling mechanisms in one tool that comprises a scissor shape stapler or a stapler that contains a base.</p>
<p id="p0005" num="0005"><b>Introduction of the invention:</b> "The Labeler stapler" will avoid the laundries' workers the long tough time of using the regular staplers to cut the paper notes and to fix each one to each piece of the customer's clothes through a new mechanism which is a combination of two systems (labeling and stapling) in one tool called "the Labeler stapler".</p>
<p id="p0006" num="0006"><b>Methods to execute the invention:</b> The idea of the Labeler stapler can be implemented in a various designs:<!-- EPO <DP n="2"> -->
<ul id="ul0001" list-style="none">
<li>The Regular staplers' shape (Plastic)</li>
<li>The scissor stapler's shape (Metal body Stapler)</li>
<li><img id="ib0001" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> The core of the Laundry stapler's / Labeler Stapler's idea is: to include a labeling system between the stapler's base and the bottom of the base, which allows the users to have additional option of labelling and stapling at the same time.</li>
<li><img id="ib0002" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> A pop-up paper note's system is embedded inside the stapler's base in a container, which is refillable, once the paper notes are consumed the user can refill the container easily with other paper notes that will be separately included within the outer packing of the stapler, and will be salable independently in the market.</li>
<li><img id="ib0003" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> The paper note's container is fixed on the inner top side of the stapler's bottom base, generating the paper notes automatically out of the stapler's front slot with each time of stapling.</li>
<li><img id="ib0004" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> The stapler comes with a lock that allows the users to on/off the pop-up paper note's system, which means that the stapler will be able to do the regular stapling job along with additional option which is the labeling anytime the user decides to do.</li>
<li><img id="ib0005" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> In both of the suggested designs "The regular shape, and the scissor shape", the base should be provided/combined with a flexible rubber base, which includes a door with lock that allows refilling the paper note's container.</li>
<li><img id="ib0006" file="imgb0001.tif" wi="4" he="4" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="yes"/> The rubber base should include a transparent part that shows the level of the paper notes inside the container, and helps the user to decide when to refill it with new paper notes.</li>
