liitinriva
liitinriva is a Finnish term that translates to "staple remover" in English. It is a common office and school supply used to remove staples from paper. A typical liitinriva consists of a metal or plastic handle with two opposing prongs that are designed to slide under the legs of a staple. By applying leverage, the user can then lift the staple out of the paper. There are various designs of staple removers, including claw-style, plier-style, and those integrated into staplers themselves. The effectiveness of a liitinriva depends on its construction and the size of the staple being removed. Over time, staples can damage paper if removed improperly, and a well-designed liitinriva aims to minimize such damage.
