    Abstract

    The Enclosed Safety Pin is a device that consists of a pin, having a simple spring or bend, which is both embedded in and part of a clamshell enclosure which allows it to be used in a similar fashion to a safety pin while being nearly fully concealed by the enclosure. The enclosure itself can be either a single piece with a living hinge, or two pieces with a pin or other type of hinge, which allows it to clasp around the pin using snaps or magnets.

    DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE ENCLOSED SAFETY PIN

    [0011] The Enclosed Safety Pin is a device that will consist of a pin that will be integrated into a clamshell type of enclosure. The enclosure will be comprised of a single or multiple pieces that, on the pin half, would provide a tab for the pin to fasten into as well as fit together with the other half to nearly completely conceal the pin. The halves will hinge together with either a living hinge design, or if two pieces, by a pin hinge design. The two halves will then fasten together with a snap design or magnetically, or other. There will be an opening on the pin half of the enclosure that will allow fabric or other material to pass through in order to be secured by the pin, as a safety pin would hold.
