ABSTRACT:
This invention is about a spring-wire paper clip formed in a single plane without any overlapping of its parts, with a stronger hold because of the unique configuration of its inner frame whose left leg, instead of moving straight downward curves inward to the right, diagonally, where it joins the right leg of the outward frame, both moving straight down parallel and close to each other in forming a stronger gripping engagement on papers. This unique inner frame also makes possible a novel positioning of the inner frame's end portion underneath and hooded by its own uppermost loop, which together with the outer frame's end portion positioned close to the very top of the clip, practically eliminates any damage to paper held.
The unique inner frame also makes it possible for manufacturers to select the strength of the clip's hold, without having to radically change its configuration, to use less wire, and to make slimmer or smaller clips which occupy less space at the left corner.
This clip is manufactured and handled by the user in much the same way as the currently popular Gem-type of of spring-wire paper clips.
