  • Publication number: 20020098060
    Abstract: A push-pin including a slot dividing a body into multiple portions and having at least two pins extending from separate ones of the multiple portions. The preferred push-pin includes a pushing surface on one end of the body. A pulling surface is generally defined around the body. The slot divides the body into at least two portions. Material of the body is selected to allow some movement of the divided portions of the body without permanent deformation thereof. This allows the portions return to their relaxed position when an applied force is removed. An opening of the slot has rounded surfaces defined on the body portions. The remaining area defined by the slot 16 may be wider than the opening, allowing an object to be held in the slot after passing the opening. The dimensions of the slot are selected to accommodate different sized objects as a matter of design variation within the scope of the invention. Preferably, the body 12 is made of anodized Aluminum (Al).
