nõelaklambrid

Nõelaklambrid, often referred to as staples in English, are small, flat metal fasteners typically made of steel. Their primary function is to join sheets of paper or other thin materials together. A staple consists of two pointed legs and a flat crown. When driven through the material by a stapler, the legs bend inwards on the underside, securely fastening the sheets.

The history of the nõelaklamber can be traced back to ancient times, with early examples of paper fasteners made from bone or metal. However, the modern stapler and staple mechanism as we know it began to develop in the 18th and 19th centuries. Early devices were often custom-made for royalty or specific purposes. The industrialization of stapling technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries made nõelaklambrid a ubiquitous office and household item.

Nõelaklambrid come in various sizes, determined by their length and leg thickness, to suit different stapling needs. Common uses include fastening documents, attaching labels, and in some industrial applications, joining lighter materials. Removing nõelaklambrid is typically done with a staple remover, which levers the bent legs open. While generally safe, improper use or handling can lead to minor injuries.
