Metal wire paper clip structure

A metal wire paper clip comprising

• a unitary length of spring-quality metal wire bent into an elongated configuration presenting
• an elongated U-shaped inner loop,
• an elongated U-shaped outer loop, and
• an arcuately-curved interconnecting portion therebetween;
• each such U-shaped loop having
• an open end,
• a closed end, and
• a pair of longitudinally-extending legs;
• such closed end of the elongated U-shaped outer loop defining one longitudinal end of such bent wire elongated configuration,
• such inner loop being nested within such outer loop with such open end of each such U-shaped loop facing in the same longitudinal direction;
• such pair of longitudinally-extending legs of each such U-shaped loop including
• a free leg having a distal end located at the open end of its respective U-shaped loop, and
• a connecting leg,
• such arcuately-curved interconnecting portion extending between such connecting legs at the open end of each such U-shaped loop and defining at its longitudinally outward midpoint the remaining longitudinal end of such bent wire configuration;
• each such inner and outer loop free leg extending at least to the juncture of such longitudinally-extending connecting legs with such curved interconnecting portion while not extending beyond a location which is contiguous to a laterally transverse plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the clip which is longitudinally inward of a tangent to the longitudinally inward midpoint of the arcuately-curved interconnecting portion, and
• each such U-shaped loop and such curved interconnecting portion being substantially coplanar so that the paper clip lies substantially flat when not in use.
