Coles A Wire Bent Twice: Clinched Against a Grooved Anvil at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Nothing that matters in stapling happens where you are looking. Imogen Hartley's subject is the small piece of shaped steel underneath the paper, and her claim is that the fastening is made there: the same wire, driven by the same mechanism, becomes a different fastener depending on the groove it lands in.
The sequence is a few thousandths of a second long and has three stages. The leg tips meet a steep slope that turns them toward each other, run onto a flat that lays them down, and are finally held against a face carrying ridges a tenth of a millimetre high, whose only job is to stop the tips sliding along their own length. Without that friction the legs cross and the staple tilts. With it, both legs come down nearly parallel to the crown.
Hartley reads the patents as arguments. A rotating disc anvil from 1929 offers three clinches by hand, legs in, legs out, or one of each, and its own filing says plainly that the outward forms are chosen to make the staple easier to pull out. A flat-clinch design does away with the fixed groove entirely and lets the driven staple push a sprung arm down, gaining roughly a third more sheets from the same wire.
One chapter asks what a sheet-count claim actually measures, given that the test paper is specified by weight and thickness. Another takes apart the strip of twenty-five staples, glued to survive a box yet to break cleanly one at a time.
Twenty sources are cited, and a chapter is set aside for the widely repeated origin stories the documents do not support.
