A flat-clinch-stapler comprises: a base portion (20) having upstanding bearing pieces (21) at its rear end for supporting a first transverse pivot axis (22), and a floating clincher table (11); a magazine (5) having a U-shaped cross section pivotably mounted at its rear end about said first pivot axis; a driver arm (1) carrying a driver blade (9) and being pivotably mounted at its rear end to said first pivot axis; and a handle member (300) pivotably mounted about a second transverse axis (310) in the bearing pieces offset relative to said first pivot axis in a direction to the front end of the base portion and acting on the driver arm at a position even further to the front end of the stapler. The magazine bottom wall guides the free ends of the legs of staples within the magazine. An elongated intermediate member (3) disposed between said magazine and said driver arm is pivotably mounted to said first pivot axis and has an inverted U-shaped cross section comprising a top wall and side walls downwardly extending inbetween and along said side walls of said magazine, the bottom edges of said side walls of said intermediate member engaging the cross members of staples within said magazine. |
