  • Patent number: 4229877
    Abstract: The invention includes a U-shaped pin with a base for passing around and engaging the shank of a flora arrangement and parallel prongs projecting outward from the base. The prongs have sharp points for piercing through clothing material from front to rear and engage a backing board on the rear side of the material, the backing board having two sets of apertures one for receiving each prong as it exits from the rear face of the clothing material. After passing through the appropriately spaced apertures, the prongs are bent so as to be retained therein with the sharp points against the rear surface of the board. A facing board with apertures for passing the prongs of the pin may also be employed on the front side of the clothing material. The method of using the apparatus for attaching a flora arrangement to clothing is also described.
