About the single bent-wire paper clip in a looping oval shape
A paper clip is a little length of springy steel wire bent into a looping shape. Slide it over the corner of a few pages and the springy wire pinches them together, then slips off again without leaving a mark. The familiar looped design has barely changed since the 1890s. Wind a path through this paper-clip maze, a neat fit for a getting-organized activity.
- A paper clip's springy wire pinches a few sheets together.
- The looped paper clip design dates back to the 1890s.
