A fastener shield can include a body defining a seat that is designed to receive at least a portion of a pin fastener in a seated position. The seated position can include the body shielding at least one moveable part of the pin fastener while allowing actuation of the at least one moveable part to transition the pin fastener between a fastening configuration and a releasing configuration. The fastener shield can also include a catch that is designed to engage the pin fastener and hold the at least a portion of the pin fastener in the seat. An apparatus can include the fastener shield. Also, a technique can include securing a pin fastener to a shank of a pin, with a fastener shield shielding at a moveable part of the fastener shield while securing the pin fastener to the shank of the pin.

The brushing device contains a bundle of fiber rods (1), which are arranged parallel to one another, and a protective sleeve (2), which encloses the fiber rods. Once fiber rods (1) have become worn, the protective sleeve (2) is able to be axially adjusted, so that the free ends of the fiber rods (1) protrude beyond the protective sleeve (2) by a desired amount. A first component (4) connected to the fiber rods (1) and a further, second component (8) connected to the protective sleeve (2) are detachably connected to one another, in a non-positively locking manner, by a clamping mechanism (3, 5, 11).

An attachment device for coupling a floral arrangement to an article such as a lapel of a jacket, a floral apparatus that includes at least a portion of the attachment device and the floral arrangement, and a method of assembling such a floral apparatus. The attachment device may include a support element and a retaining element that are detachably coupled together. The support element includes a rib member and first and second posts extending from a bottom surface of the rib member in a spaced apart manner. The rib member and the first and second posts collectively define a receiving cavity that is configured to receive a portion of a stem of a floral arrangement. The retaining element includes one or more pins that extend into the rib member of the support element to couple the retaining element to the support element.
