Abstract
A stapler capable of stapling one or more stapling portions of a sheaf of sheets to be bound with only one movable staple driver in a corner binding manner, one-side binding manner or doublespread binding manner regardless of the width and length of the sheets is applicable to a sheet handling device such as a copying machine and printer to compose a sheet-binding system. The staple driver and clinching means with an anvil for bending the staple into a non-returnable state are connected by a connecting member formed in a substantially U-shape so as to satisfactorily receive the sheets to be stapled.
