"Hotchkiss" (ホチキス or alternatively ホッチキス) is also the generic name for office [[stapler]]s in [[Japan]] and [[Korea]], probably deriving from the brand name stamped on the stapler, in much the same way as "[[Hoover]]" is used as a generic name for vacuum cleaners in the UK. The name derives from an American company named [[E H Hotchkiss]] which made staplers. [http://www.jekai.org/entries/aa/00/np/aa00np69.htm] |
