Safety Pin.


Walter Hunt (re)invented the Safety Pin. I was thinking the other day to search for all those things that are so common around us, that we have been using since childhood, and find out, who invented, who made it famous and surprisingly the invention has remained the same for so many years. Safety pin has very little improvement in both design and complexity. Only it has been used in so many places, it has gone way past that being just a safety pin.

Do send some photos of usages of safety pins.
