INSULATED STAPLE AND STAPLE COLLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18417080 titled 'INSULATED STAPLE AND STAPLE COLLATION

The abstract describes an insulated staple that consists of a staple with a crown and a pair of legs, along with an insulator with an insulator bridge and a pair of insulator legs. The insulator has a channel that runs from one end of one insulator leg to the other end of the other insulator leg, with the staple being at least partially received in the channel. In the absence of the staple, the width of the channel at the insulator legs is less than the thickness of the staple legs, creating a friction fit between the staple legs and the insulator.

  • The innovation involves an insulated staple design that includes a staple and an insulator with a channel for receiving the staple.
  • The channel in the insulator provides a friction fit for the staple legs, ensuring a secure connection.
  • The design allows for easy installation and removal of the staple while maintaining a strong hold.
  • The insulated staple can be used in various applications where electrical insulation is required, such as in wiring or cable management.

Potential Applications: - Electrical wiring and cable management - Construction industry for securing insulation - Automotive industry for securing wiring harnesses

Problems Solved: - Ensures electrical insulation in applications where staples are used - Provides a secure connection without the risk of short circuits - Facilitates easy installation and removal of staples

Original Abstract Submitted

An insulated staple includes a staple having a crown extending between a pair of legs and an insulator having an insulator bridge extending between a pair of insulator legs. The insulator having a channel extending from an end of one of the insulator legs to an end of the other of the insulator legs. The staple is at least partially received in the channel. In absence of the staple, a width of the channel at the insulator legs is less than a thickness of the staple legs to provide a friction fit between the staple legs and the insulator.
