A paper clip which is formed of a continuous band of material, and comprises an outer clamping frame, an inner clamping frame, and a pair of torsion members. The outer clamping frame is of a substantially triangular gross geometry and has a pair of transverse bridge members and outer clamping portions which extend from the respective transverse bridge members and converge at an outer reinforced tip. The inner clamping frame is also of a substantially triangular gross geometry and has inner clamping portions which converge at an inner reinforced tip. Each torsion member extends substantially perpendicularly from a respective transverse bridge member and continues into a respective contoured section. Each contoured section initially diverges in the direction of a respective outer clamping portion and then converges in a direction towards the inner reinforced tip and continues into a respective inner clamping portion. |
