PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
'An Improved Bent Core-pin for Paper Clips or Holders.
I SAMUEL HUDSON WRIGHT of No. 6 Castle Market Dublin, Umbrella and
Walking Stick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The bent core-pin is intended to be used in conjunction with, and within a
longitudinally slotted tubular clip for holding papers, or other purposes, (which
clip but with straight core-pin is the subject of British Patent No. 86631) and is
formed preferably of a metal rod of suitable thickness, having so much of one end
angularly bent as will be sufficient to keep the pin in operative connection inside
the tube forming the clip by causing the bent portion or shank (preferably with a
head) to pass loosely out through a hole formed in the tube in juxtaposition to end
thereof, and preferably opposite the longitudinal slot in same.
Dated this 3rd day of December 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bent Core-pin for Paper Clips or Holders.
I SAMUEL HUDSON WRIGHT of No. 6 Castle Market Dublin Umbrella and
Walking Stick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The bent core pin is intended to be used in conjunction with and within a
longitudinally slotted tubular clip for holding papers or other purposes (which clip
but with straight core pin is the subject of British Patent 866391) and is formed
preferably of a metal rod of suitable thickness having so much of one end
angularly bent as will be sufficient to keep the pin in operative connection inside
the tube forming the clip by causing the bent portion or shank-preferably with a
head to pass loosely out through a hole formed in the tube in juxtaposition to one
end thereof and preferably opposite to the longitudinal slot in same.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which :-
Figure 1. is a longitudinal sectional view of a clip constructed in accordance
with my invention and Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2.-2.
Figure 1.
In order to enable my invention to be clearly understood I will now describe the
same in detail referring to the drawings wherein :-
The numeral 1 indicates a tube having a longitudinal slot 3 and provided in
juxtaposition to one end with an orifice 4. The tube is preferably composed of
sheet metal which is slightly elastic but any material suitable for the conditions
required may be employed. The orifice 4 is formed in the back portion of the
tube or that portion which is directly opposite the longitudinal slot. A core-pin 5,

page_text: preferably cylindrical is arranged longitudinally inside the tube and one end is
angularly-bent to form a shank 6 extending substantially at right angles to the
body of the pin. This shank passes loosely through the orifice 4 and is upset or
otherwise provided with a head 7 for the purpose of retaining the pin in operative
connection with the tube. The diameter or thickness of the core-pin is somewhat
greater than the width of the longitudinal slot 3.
In practical operative the article to be held is folded and then slipped upon the
core-pin so that the article with a part of its folded portion extends through the
longitudinal slot as will be understood by reference to Figure 2. By this means
the article is securely held and the tube constitutes an edging or backing for
the same.
The improved clip is well adapted for temporarily binding newspapers and
periodicals but is adapted for general use where an edging or backing for papers
labels and the like is desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1
In paper clips the longitudinally slotted tube 1 in combination with the
angularly-bent core-pin 5 substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth
and shown upon the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 24th day of December 1892.
