GEORGE W. ,MCGILIn OF RIVERDALE, NEW YORK.
SPRING-WIRE PAPER-CLIP."
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'Patent. No. 721,071, dated February 17, 1903. Application filed July 7,1902. Serial No. 114,571. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. MCGILL, a
citizen of the'UnitedStates, and a resident of Riverdale, in Vthe county ofNew York andf State of New York, have invented certain new and nsefullmprovements in Spring-Wire s Paper-Clips, of which the following is a speciication. .y
My invention consists in a spring clip or holder for papers fashioned from a single piece of spring-wire of suitable gage and length and folded to represent somewhat in its configuration the numeral 8, the upper loop off such numeral configuration being formed of a single strand or fold of the wire and its lower loop of a doubled strand or fold thereof, one of such strands or folds being superimposed upon the other. The edges of the papers being secured are slid in Ybetween the two superimposed strands of the wire forming the lower loop and on into the upper loop and are clamped between the super-` imposed strandsof the lower loop by the resilienceof the wire composing same.
In the drawings several modificationsV in the configuration of the device are shown, all embodying` the same principle and featuresto wit, an upper and lower loop, that part of the wire forming the upper loop being single and that part forming the lower loop beingV double, the lower or two-strand loop clampat its center, and the' two members or arms` formed by the fold are crossed below the same, as at a, thereby forming of a single strand of the wire the upper loop A. The end parts b b of the wire are. then foldedk back toward each other in oppositedirections and parallel planes to the line of such crossing a, the loop B having the two wires b b composing it superimposed one upon the other, as shown in Figs. l, 2. y .ofY the device, showing its -upper loop trianperspecti've in Fig. 13and in plan and edge views as applied clamping the papers E in Figs. 14,' 3, and 4 are similar views gular in form instead of pyriform, as shown in Figs. 1, 13. I Y
Y Figs. 15, 5,`and 6 show a configuration of the device similarto that shown in Figs. 13, l, 2, Vexcepting that theunder strand or fold of the wire forming its loop B is provided with'aspur C to facilitate the separation of such strands on entering papers between them. Y i
Figs. 16, 7,t and 8 show a configuration of the device wherein the wire on one side of its loop B is folded into atriangular loop and the wire on the opposite side into a parallelogram or rectangular loop, the dependent angular part Of'of the loop serving in this configuration a purpose similar to the spur O in Figs. 15, 5, and 6, before described.
Figs 17, 9, and 10 show a configuration of the device similar to "thatshowu in Figs. 16, 7, 8, excepting that its upper loop is rectangular in shape insteadofpyriform.
Figs. 18, 1l, and 12 show a configuration wherein the upperv p'art ofthe loop A is folded over and down in a plane parallel with and slightly removed from vits lower part to providel a suspending-hook part D to enable the device to behungupon a string, and Fig. 19 is a view similar to Fig. 18, excepting that the loop B o'fthe device is shown provided with the spur C, fashioned asin Fig. 15.
In all the other configurations the device is adapted to be suspended from a nail while holding or clipping papers', when desired, by
allowing the single-wired loop of the device to project above the edge of the papers, as shown in Fig. 5. A
In Figs. 1 to '12, inclusive,'the device is shownclippingor holding papers, the latter being'marked E in the drawings.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isff f .1. A paper-clip composed of a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center in man- 'ner to form a double-looped figure resembling in shape the numeral 8,` the Wire in the upper loop of the figure consisting of a single 'strand and that in the lower loop of two strands ICO I superimposed through their entire length one f low the central crossing of the wires forming upon the other.
2. A paper-clip composed of a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center in manner to provide a double-looped ligure resemblingin appearancethe numeral 8,the foldedover halves of the wire crossing each other at the base yof theupperloop and their extensions further folded down, around and back in opposite directions forming the lower loop, with their free ends and terminals resting'besuch basey of the upper loop and top of they lower one. f f f f f f 3. A paper-clip composed of a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center in manner to form a double-looped figure, the foldedover'halves of the wire crossing each other at the base of an upperloop and further folded` downward, around, 'upward' and inward yin opposite directionswith their free ends and terminals resting below the central crossing of the wires, providing a lower loop'composed f of two superimposed strands of the wire in spring contact with eachother and an upper loop composed of a single strand of the wire.
4. A paper-clip composed of a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center in manner to provide a double-looped figure, 'the folded-over yhalves of the wire'forming the same crossing each other at the base of an upper loop and the top of a lower one, and
yfurther similarly folded in opposite directions with their free' ends and terminals resting below such crossing of the wire between the ffloops, ,providing an upper loop composed of a single strand of the wire and a lower loop composed of two superimposed strands thereof in spring bearing one upon the other, the lower part of one of such strands projecting below the'lower part of the other, the loops being integral.
, 5. A paper-clip composedof a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center iny inanner to provide a double-looped figure, the
folded-over halves of the wire forming such gure crossing each otherat the base of an f,
upper loop andy top of a lowery one, and furr'ther similarly folded in opposite directions with their free ends and terminals restingy below such crossing of the wires providing a ylower'loop composedy of two superimposed strands of the wire in yspring bearing one'y against the otherand an upper loop composed of a single strand of wire, such upper loop folded over and downward upon itself providing a hook.
6. A spring-clip composed of a single piece of spring-wire folded from its center in manf ward upon itself, providing a hook.
