Abstract
A curved pin provided with an enlarged planar solid or open head lying in the plane of the shank of the pin and extending inwardly therefrom together with an apparatus for holding a plurality of such pins and inserting each pin sequentially are provided. The curved pin is particularly useable by one who sews when it is desired to, for example, affix a pattern to a piece of fabric or the like. The pin's curved shape facilitates its insertion and positioning with less difficulty and more accuracy than the well known straight or 'common' pin. The inserting apparatus holds a number of pins in a magazine and allows for their individual insertion by means of a rotatable, generally arcuate shaped plunger which moves each pin along an arcuate path and inserts it into the fabric at an acute angle to the fabric.
