Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention belongs to the technical field of puncher, specifically involving EG-1680 Three hole electric puncher.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Commonly used office punchers are normally divided into manual and electric punchers by the driving form, and could be classified by punching capacity per cycle into single-hole puncher, two-hole puncher, three-hole puncher, and multi-hole puncher, the punching capacity varies from 1 to 60 pieces of paper. Common office punchers available on market are generally operated manually, thus being time consuming, laborious and difficult to use. Hence, electric punchers were developed one after another; however, punchers available on market with punching capacity of more than 20 sheets or multi-hole punchers consume much power and require high-strength gears, which leads to relatively high prices and low cost performance, and may frequently impair the service life of punchers, failing to address consumers' operational requirements.
