Description

The present invention is an improved magnet design. More particularly, the present invention is a relatively small, simple design that comprises an injection-molded plastic or die-cast metal housing. Preferably utilizing a lightweight neodymium disc located within its base, the magnet of the present invention provides great stability and strength, while not obscuring the item which it holds. As such, the present invention simulates a push-pin in that it securely holds notes, photographs, and other items to metallic surfaces, and can easily be grasped by the thumb and forefinger of the user. Thus, the present invention accomplishes its intended purposes while creating a unique appearance for usage in the home or office.

FIG. 1 is a front and top perspective view of a magnet showing my new design; and,

FIG. 2 is a front and bottom perspective view of FIG. 1.
