Center Staple Solves a First-World Problem Most Students Face

Despite the move to eBooks and tablets, papers and printed reports are still a part of life. At least, they are, if you had a course in school where you had to turn in papers and all. Writing the actual paper is hard enough. While printing is relatively easy, stapling everything gets a bit complicated, especially if you don’t have a big-enough stapler.

Cue the Center Stapler, which is designed to staple the center of the book or papers so you don’t have to use half of a regular stapler and bend the wire ends manually.

The device has a bottom that can be separated from the top part, so both parts are on opposite sides of the paper. One part “connects” to the other by way of magnets. When you’re ready to staple, just push down and you’re done.

The Center Stapler is a concept by Daehyun Kwon, who was nominated for a 2013 SPARK award for the design.

Pac-Man Stapler proves that he’s got quite the bite!

pac-man-staplerMost of us are familiar with Pac-Man – you know, the yellow colored living pie chart whose diet consists of pellets, some fruit, and the occasional ghost, and he is never a silent mover with all that wakka-wakka sounds, which means he would have failed in any mission that requires stealth as the primary factor. Well, considering Pac-Man makes a living (and literally fights for his life) with his mouth, it would not come across as a surprise to us that he carries one mean bite. Which perfectly explains the existence of the $9.99 Pac-Man Stapler.

The Pac-Man Stapler looks like Pac-Man, but functions like a stapler, and that means the only conclusion that one is able to draw from it would be the fact that this IS a stapler. A mini one, that is, as his bites are perfect to keep loose sheets of a particular document together, or you can choose to have some fun with this by creating stapled metal patterns on a sheet of paper during one of those more boring meetings. All you need to do is squeeze his head, and watch him “bite” that particular sheet of papers together. The stapler is removable, which means it can be refilled, making this far more useful than a one time use device only.
