Abstract
A staple removing device has a pair of levers pivotally coupled at one end on an axis such that their other ends are capable of movement toward one another. A bias spring acts on the pair of levers for biasing the pair of levers into an open position. A pair of extraction jaws on the other end of the pair of levers have engaging ends extending toward the other of the pair of levers for engaging the underside of a staple embedded in a material to lift the staple away from the material. A capture slot is formed one of the pair of levers that captures a staple when removed.
