Abstract

A hand-held staple driving tool is provided for driving staples near to obstructions, such as walls. The tool has a solenoid, a solenoid plunger and a staple driving knife which is mounted generally parallel to the axis of the solenoid, but outboard of it near the front of the housing. The staple driving knife is connected to the solenoid plunger by means of an overhung transverse drive beam which is connected at its forward end to the upper part of the knife and at its rearward end to the top of the plunger. The tool further has a Siamese twin housing which has a live hinge at its front end. The tool has an extended staple driving chute to permit driving staples into small recesses. The tool further has a combination mounting and grounding device using only a single screw. A staple driving tool is also provided which has a staple driving knife centrally aligned with the solenoid plunger and connected to it by means of arcuate wings on the upper end of the knife press fitted around an attachment rod at the bottom end of the plunger.
