'''''Staple (fastener)'''''
A '''staple''' (from Old English stapol<ref>http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=staple&allowed_in_frame=0</ref>) is a fastener which is usually made of [[metal]]. It is used to attach multiple objects, or bind one or more loose objects to a solid one. Modern staples are thin strips which are punched into or through material. However, other kinds exist, such as Dovetail Staples used in ancient construction. These were created by carving out a grove in stone, then pouring molten metal into it.
