John E Collins Paper Clamp Press Patent.

John E Collins Patent Abstract information

"A paper clamp press for straightening or smoothing a bended, folded or creased clamp arm of a metal paper clamp. In a preferred embodiment the paper clamp press is characterized by a pair of pivoting, plier-type handles which terminate in top and bottom jaws which can be manipulated between open and closed positions by means of the handles. After the open jaws receive the distorted clamp arm, a cylindrical roller disposed for travel in the top jaw, presses the clamp arm against the bottom jaw along the length of the clamp arm, toward the extending end of the jaws as the jaws are pivoted to the closed position, progressively straightening or smoothing the clamp arm. A leaf spring provided in the top jaw returns the bidirectional roller to the pivoted end of the top jaw as the spring-biased handles are released and the jaws opened."
