Abstract: A detachable pendant mounting for providing interchangeability of the pendant includes a hollow clasp housing held on a pendant chain, the clasp housing open at the rear and the bottom end. A clasp element is mounted within the clasp element accessible through the open rear. A pendant securement to the clasp element is accomplished through the bottom opening. The clasp element may take various forms including a deflectable hook, a fixed pin, a slotted clevis, etc., with a catch engagement keeping the pendant securement on the clasp element until released.

Abstract: A safety pin attachment has a contoured longitudinal center channel and at least three retainer members. The contour of the center channel allows for insertion of a wide range of safety pins therein. Once positioned within the center channel, the retainer members may be urged together about the stationary wire of the safety pin, and an adhesive may be used to permanently secure the attachment to the safety pin. The attachment provides a gripping mass for the safety pin thereby facilitating handling of the safety pin. The attachment may have identifying indicia such as letters or numbers, or may have indicia having a tactile characteristic such as braille or a series of raised portions.

Abstract: A safety pin attachment which is capable of being releaseably locked about a conventional safety pin. The attachment has a male half and a female half which are adapted for mutual locking engagament. In one embodiment, the male half and the female half are injection molded adjacent each other and lying in the same plane, connected by a living hinge. The living hinge allows the two halves to be folded together until they are releaseably locked about the safety pin.

Abstract: A safety pin having an axially extending coil type torsion spring, thereby avoiding pinching fabric to which it is attached. Alternative embodiments provide arrangements assuring alignment of the wire sections of the safety pin with the head. In one alternative embodiment, the wire sections of the safety pin bend toward the middle of the spring, and enter the head in parallel orientation. In a second embodiment, the head is angled with respect to the coil spring, and the wire sections form a V relative to one another.

Abstract: A flower mounting pin device, including a combination body and safety pin, is disclosed. The cross-shaped body includes an upright member and a transverse crossbar. The upright member includes projecting nubs and a through hole spaced along it. The crossbar includes a transverse pin channel with a central keyslot, and a hinged cover which closes over the pin channel to secure the safety pin within the pin channel. The crossbar and the hinged cover further include mating male and female elements to secure the cover in its closed positon over the pin channel. The safety pin includes a stationary arm which fits in the pin channel of the crossbar. The stationary arm has a central offset portion which extends into the central keyslot, securing the safety pin against rotation and translation within the pin channel. Various sizes of safety pins can be used, all with the same benefits.
