Push pins
Products introduction
A thumb tack or push pin (henceforth, a thumb tack) is a short nail or pin used to fasten items to a wall or board for
display and intended to be inserted by hand generally without the assistance of tools. A variety of names are used to
refer to different designs intended for various purpose. Thumb tack and push pin are both sometimes compounded
(thumbtack or pushpin) or hyphenated (thumb-tack or push pin).
Thumb tacks made of brass, tin or iron may be referred to as brass tacks, brass pins, tin tacks or iron tacks,
respectively. These terms are particularly used in the idiomatic expression to come (or get) down to brass (or other
wise) tacks, meaning to consider basic facts of a situation. Drawing pinor drawing pin refers to thumb tacks used to hold drawings on drawing boards.
Map pin or map tack refers to thumb tacks used to mark locations on a map and to hold the map in place.
The Paper Cricket or Cricket Display Push Pin secures photographs, posters, artwork and paper products onto a bulletin board or drywall without puncturing the paper item;
no pin holes. The Paper Cricket flexible wing design allows you to slip the paper item in and out without pulling the
Cricket off the wall or bulletin board, allowing less damage to a wall surface.
A thumb tack has two basic components: the head, often made of plastic, metal or wood, and the body, usually
made of steel or brass. The head is wide to distribute the force of pushing the tack in, allowing only the hands to be
used. Many head designs exist: flat, domed, spherical, cylindrical and a variety of novelty heads like hearts or stars.
Thumb tack heads also come in a variety of colors. These can be particularly useful to mark different locations on a
map. Some thumb tack designs have the body cut out of the head and bent downward to produce a tack.
Domed or gripped heads are sometimes preferred over flat heads as dropped flat headed tacks will point upward posing a hazard. Thumb tacks also pose a hazard of ingestion and choking, where
they may do serious harm. The Paper Cricket is a paper friendly push pin provided for securing pieces of paper,
photographs, postcards, posters and similar items to a support surface without puncturing or otherwise damaging
the item. No holes. The unit is designed to be appended to a bulletin board or other mounting surface.
The Paper Cricket push pin includes a winged clip body portion and a pin. The article-receiving location is adapted for receiving a relatively flat item inserted between the wings, with the inherent resilience
of the design tending to hold the flat item in a secure manner. In a preferred embodiment, the winged clip body
portion flexes open to hold the paper item inserted while the pin is inserted into a wall .
