IMPROVEMENT IN PAPER-CLIPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,472, dated J une 4, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD A. FRANKLIN, of Brenham, in the county of \Vashington and State of Texas,have invented a new and val- 7 reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a plan view of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical central section of the same.
My invention has relation to a paper-clip; and the novelty consists in making the entire device out of a single plate of metal, cut and bent to the proper form, as hereinafter de scribed.
In the drawing,Arepresents a plate of brass or other suitable elastic material, of the ordinary contour of paper-clips. B is a flange, bent upward at one end of said plate. 0 is a jaw formed by slitting the plate A, as shown at a a b, so as to separate the sides and forward end of the piece (J from the plate, and then raising said piece so that its end may rest on the flange B. D designates a springrest, made by cutting in the center of the piece 0 a tapering tongue, and then bending the latter back, as shown. In the center of said tongue is cut a T-shaped slot, 0." F designates a thumb-spring, made by so cutting the plate A at its rear end as to produce a circular head, 6, and a shouldered shank, 0 This spring connects with the plate A at a point immediately behind the small end of the rest D. The shank is brought through the transverse portion of the slot 0 by bending the sides of the rest apart. A slit is made, at d, in the end of said rest, to allow the proper separation of parts for the arrangement of the thumb-sprin g.
The proper position of the thumb-spring is The jaw G is raised by pressshown in Fig. 1. ing down the thumb-spring, which depresses the rear end of the rest D, and thereby acts upon the jaw. Shoulders are formed on the shank e at 6 for the purposes of preventing the same from slipping through the slot 0 and thereby weakening its action. 1
\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V The improved paper-clip, having the springjaw O, slotted spring-rest D, and thumb-spring F, formed by cutting said parts from a single plate of metal, A, and bending them in position, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses. I
EDWARD A. FRANKLIN.
Witnesses I. MEYER, W. S. WINTERS.
