Abstract

This invention may be used to fasten or anchor lightweight, three-dimensional objects such as lettering, numbers and symbols, party and holiday decorations, arts and crafts, teaching and learning aids, informational displays, and other penetrable, three-dimensional objects, fastening these kinds of objects to surfaces such as bulletin boards, gypsum wallboard surfaces, corkboards, wooden surfaces, or to other penetrable objects or surfaces by being pressed like standard pushpins, screwed, or pressed and twisted into the objects or surfaces to be joined, depending on the types of materials being fastened or anchored. Handy Pins are intended for, but not limited to, indoor uses in homes, places of business, offices, schools, libraries and other public, governmental or private institutions or facilities rather than for use outdoors and in the woodworking and construction industries.
