WHAT OFFICE FIXTURE WAS ORIGINALLY PATENTED IN 1896 TO FASTEN TOGETHER THE SOLES AND UPPERS OF SHOES?

I know that antique staplers do resemble the first shoe lasting machines produced in the 1890's. I looked up pictures of both. My first thought was a nail gun for some reason, but you wouldnt use one of those in an office. The closest thing to that is a stapler? Are you going to tell me if that was right?
