History and development of staplers
The first to use a stapler may be Louis XV. The staples he used are all carefully crafted by hand, with royal logos printed on them, which are used to bind royal documents together.
In 1868, Charles Gould obtained a British patent for a wire stapler. He used iron wire as the material, cut the iron wire to a certain length, and then fold the tip of the iron wire through the paper forcefully. This is a direct prototype of a modern stapler.
In 1894, he adopted a manufacturing process in which the iron wire was first broken and bent to form a string of “U”-shaped staples. The nails can be loaded into a much simpler machine that can embed the nails in the paper. This machine is the prototype of today’s stapler. Early “U” shaped staples were wrapped in paper or individually loaded into staplers.
The use of staplers in the 1920s became more and more popular, and at that time, staples could be glued into a long strip and put on the market.
