Cloth Staples
Staples made of cloth to make mending clothes easier | |
For anyone who cowers at the sight of a sewing machine,
or simply loves stapling, a cloth stapler is the convenient way
to bodge together tears in clothing or upholstery without the
need for learning complicated stitching and eliminate needle
threading anguish.
The stapler would be essentially
a tiny manual sewing machine
feeding one stitch at a time, or if required staples may be stiff
at first like real staples to ensure proper penetration, and
gradually soften with use.

I quite like the idea of stiff staples that soften later - perhaps
only in water? But how do you stop the soft staple from
pulling out? |
|
| |
Can that "handheld sewing machine" be opened up like most
staplers, to fasten straight into something whose other side
is inaccessible? |
|
| |
Why use mechanics when today we have computerized
robotics? |

Cloth with a fray, is difficult to repair without weaving or knotting as in sewing. Staples can clamp but there goes the softness. |

[TheBamforth], Not as quick as your, yet to be fully evoked, flexible staples( those sewing tools can be temperamental). The solution awaits somewhere. |
