The safety pin is a variation of the regular pin. It includes a simple spring mechanism and a clasp. The clasp serves two purposes. The first one is to form a closed loop to fasten the pin to whatever it is applied to. The second aim is to cover the end of the pin to protect the user from the sharp point. Safety pins are commonly used to fasten pieces of fabric or clothing together.
American mechanic Walter Hunt is regarded as the inventor of the safety pin. Since he needed to settle a debt with a friend, Hunt decided to invent something new in order to pay his debt off. After he had got a patent in 1849, Hunt sold it to an American company for $400. Using that money, Hunt paid the debt to a friend and kept the remaining amount for himself.
