staple

Although their exact meaning is not known, it is thought that staples were used as trade symbols. It is sometimes referred to as a door-staple and it is usually used in heraldry as a pun on a name like Dunstaple, for example. Staples are drawn boldly and angularly with wide bases sharpening severely to points.
