Wow! That's one old stapler. The stapler has been around for a very long time. The one above was patented in 1879, but the first stapler was handmade in the 18th century in France.
The stapler was patented in 1877 by Henry R. Heyl who made the first machine to both insert and clinch the staple in a single step. Because of this, he is known as the inventor of the modern stapler.
Staplers went on to be used for stapling both boxes and books. Many different versions of the stapler have been invented and patented since then.
Surgeons use surgical staplers to close skin. The surgical stapler operates in a different way, with two staples coming together from opposite ands and meeting in the middle to form a rectangle.
