SPRING WIRE CLIP FOR NEWSPAPERS AND THE LIKE Filed March 31, 1931 m/vnvroxv a a Q flTTOR/VEYS Patented Mar. 1932 UNIT WILLIAM DUNIKIORE LOVEDAY, OF EASTBOURNE, ENG-LAND STATES-PATENT. orrlcs SPRING WIRE CLIP FOR NEW SWAPERS AND THE LIKE Application filed March 31, 1931, Serial No. 526,719, and in Great Britain April 1 1930.
The object of this invention is to provide serve as a guide for the insertion of the sheets an improved form of clip which can be easily between the bar 3 and the bars 1 and 2, which applied to a number of sheets of paper so as latter are brought close together so that the to hold them together firmly and more espebar 3 rests on them and is thereby prevent- 5 cially at the fold of a number of newspaper or ed from being caused by its spring action to other sheets so as to keep the several sheets descend into the bend 1 which standswell in proper position with their folds parallel away from the bar 3 and facilitates insertion and thus enable the sheets to be handled wit-h of the sheets of paper. As seen is Fig. 1 the comfort. bar 3 lies between the bars 1 and 2 and as seen i0 A clip according to the invention comprises in 2 the bar 1 lies between the bars 2 and so a length of suitable spring wire bent back 3 and stops just short of the bend 1 On the upon itself with the two end portions extend-' clip being applied to sheets of paper, the bars ing in opposite directions, and terminating 1 and 3 effect the primary grip throughout respectively, at or about, and beyond the bend the greater part of their length where they 15 or loop of their companion bent back porrun in contact and substantially parallel to 5 tions, the bent back portions running subeach other, but as the thickness of the paper stantially parallel and under their spring acsheets is increased, the bar 3 presses the paper tion pressing against each other and effectinto the groove between the bars 1 and 2 and ing a primary grip, an additional grip being an additional spring grip on the paper is ob- 51) obtained between the longer bent back portained between both the bars .1 and 2 and the tion' and both the other portions. The shorter bar 3, and accidental lateral movement of end portion and the portion intermediate of the clip along the sheets is prevented; as the the bent back end portions are close togethbars 1 and 3 areforced in opposite directions er so that the long end portion rests on them they will continue to be more or less parallel and the bend or loop beyond which the long as viewed in Fig.2 and give a longitudinally end portion extends is canted outwardly extensive grip on the sheets which resists lattherefrom so as to act as a guide for the sheets eral and swinging movements without interwhen the clip is being applied to them. The ference with the easy removal of the clip when arrangement is such that by end pressure in" desired. What may be termed a compensaa the direction in which the long portion eX- ing action takes place between the bar 3 and 0 tends the clip can be easily passed over a the other or double bar portions of the clip number of newspaper or other sheets so that when applied to articles or papers of a body they will be firmly gripped between the long thickness greater than at the edge to or over portion and the other two portions of the clip which the clip is applied. This action causes 35 without damage or serious creasing. Prefthe parts to draw or tend to draw closer tos5 erably the bends are made in directions at gether after initial spreading as the clip is right angles to each other. pushed to bring its bend l against the edge.

bent as shown to form three portions or bars lVhat I claim is l, 2 and 3 which lie close alongside each other 1. A paper clip, comprising a length of and of which the bar 3 is the longest; each spring wire bent back and forth upon itself of the bars 1 and 3 is set so that it springs with the two end portions thereof extending H5 into contact with the other two bars, and that in opposite directions substantially parallel the bars 1 and 3 are substantially parallel as and in contact with each other, and with one seen in Fig. 2 and in contact. The bends at of said portions terminating at or about one I 1 and 1 are made at right angles to each of the bends and the other projecting beyond other and the bend at 1 is canted outwards to the other of the bends; said one and shorter of the end portions being disposed close to the intermediate portion of the wire and therewith canted outwardly near the bend therebetween from which said other of the end portions projects, and said other or longer end portion being disposed centrally of and underlying the last-mentioned bend but held from entering or springing thereinto by con tact with said shorter end and intermediate portions in rear of said bend, whereby to therewith provide a guide and easy slippage over the paper to be clipped.
2. A paper clip, comprising a length of spring wire bent back and forth upon itself with one end portion longer than the other and the two extending in opposite directions substantially parallel to and contacting each other; the bends between said end portions and the intermediate portion of the wire being in planes substantially normal to each other, and said longer end portion being pressed against the shorter end and intermediate portions short of the bend therebetween; and the last-mentioned bend being canted outwardly so as to stand clear of the longer end portion.
3. A paper clip, comprising a length of spring wire bent back and forth upon itself with one end portion longer than the other and the two extending in opposite directions substantially parallel to each other; the bends between said end portions and the intermediate portion of the wire being in planes substantially normal to each other, the bend connecting the intermediate portion and the shorter end portion being canted, the two end portions by spring action pressing against each other in a gripping contact along the greater part of their length, and said longer end portion being pressed also against said intermediate portion short of the last-mentioned bend and thereby held against entering the same.
