PAPER-CLIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,099, dated April 25, 1905.
Application filed May 13,1904. Serial No, 207,760.
fr) (LIZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, CLARKE E. GARDNER, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Osage, in the county ot' Mitchell and State ot' Iowa, have invented a certain new and uset'ul lmprovement in Paper-Clips, otl which the t'ollowing is a specitication.
My invention relates to paper-clips, and especially to that Vt'orm ot paper-clip designed to be permanently attached to one paper and to be t'olded over and retain another paper orto be attached to a paper and to be folded over and retain another part of the same paper.
It is well known that numerous attempts have been made to construct a paper-clip from sheet metal provided with an adhesive preparation thereon to be applied to the paper b y adhesion. lt is also well known that the adhesive preparations commonly used for the purpose and which are adapted to become adhesive by the application of moisture will not adhere satisfactorily to the smooth metallic surface ot` the clip.
The object ot' my invention is to provide a metallic clip with a preparation thereon adapted to become readily adhesive by the application ot' moisture thereto and which will adhere to the paper and to the metallic clip with approximately equal tenacity.
lV ith this and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement ot' parts, as will be hereinatter more t'ully described, shown in the accompairving drawings, and particularly point-- ed out in the appended claims, it beingl understood that changes in the t'orm, proportion, size, and minor details may be made without departing from the spirit or sacriticing any ot' the advantages ot' my invention.
ln the drawings, Figures l, Q, 3, i, 5, and t3 are several views ot' a letter-sheet with my improved paperclip attached thereto and showing one application ot' the same. Figs. T and 8 are perspective views of ditl'erent shapes of my paper-clip. Fig. 9 is a Ineditication showing prongs to be used as an additional means t'or securing the clip.
In its preferred form my invention consists ot' a strip ot' lightweight sheet metal, as aluminium. The metal strip is tirst treated l upon one side with a coating ot' some substance which will adhere tenaciously to the metal and which upon becoming dried will be impervious to moisture` as shellac. Upon the shellac coating is applied a coating' otl glue or other substance which will adhere tenaciously to the shellac and which will become adhesive by the application thereto ot' moisture. The metallic plate may be constructed with prongs, as shown at Eig. 9, which may serve as an additional means 't'or securing the clip or maybe used in case it is desired to apply the clip a second time.
It is obvious that my improved paper-clip may be used for a very great variety of purposes where it is desired to hold together a plurality ot' papers or where it is desired to hold a paper in a folded state. The latter is the preferred use ot' my invention, and as illustrating such use l have shown a letter- .sheet with my improved clip used thereon. In the drawings I have shown an ordinary letter-sheet l, which may be folded iirst transversely approximately in the middle, whereby the sheet assumes the position shown in Eig. 3. The sheet may be again folded so that a narrow portion is t'olded along line 3 3. as shown at Fig. et, and the folding' completed by folding on line 4 et, whereby the sheet will assume the position shown at Figs. and 6, or in any other desired manner. lVhen the sheet is in a tlat state, as shown at Eig. l, or after being folded the clips 5 may beattached in any predetermined or desired position, as shown in the drawings or otherwise.
It is obvious that the clips may bc made in the t'orms shown in the drawings or in any other desired t'orm.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as novel, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--- l. A clip adapted t'or holding paper sheets and the like, comprising' a strip of material having' a coating capable olI adhesion thereto and insoluble in water and upon said insoluble coating', a coating capable ot' becoming adhesive by the application ot' moisture thereto.
2. A clip adapted for holding letter-sheets and the like in a Jfolded state, consisting' ot' a substantially plain piece ot sheet metal, a coat IOO of shellac upon one side thereof and upon the shellac a coating of a substance capable of becoming adhesive by the application of moisture thereto.
3. A clip adapted for holding paper sheets and the like, comprising a strip of material having a coating of shellac thereon and upon the shellac a coating capable of becoming adhesive b v the application of moisture thereto.
4. A clip adapted for holding' paper sheets and the like consisting of a substantially plain piece of sheet metal having upon one sidethereof a coating of'/ material capable of adhesion thereto and impervious to moisture, and upon such impervious coating a coating of material capable of becoming adhesive by the application thereto of moisture,
5. A clip adapted for holding paper sheets and the like comprising a strip of material having a coating of shellac thereon and on the 2 shellac coating a coating of glue.
6. A clip adapted for holding paper sheets and the like consisting of a Substantially7 plain piece 'of sheet metal provided upon one side with a`coatingof shellac and upon such shellac 2 coating a coating of glue.
