Abstract
A badge having an attachment assembly for securing to wearing apparel, paramagnetic surfaces or the like includes a pin, clip or magnetic mounting assembly secured to the badge. The attachment assembly is mounted on a central post to facilitate automated placement of the mounting assembly on the post. A latching pin mechanism for use as the attachment assembly includes a loop for mounting on the central post and spring biased pin offset from the loop to allow the badge to hang appropriately even though supported by the central post. Alternative embodiments utilize a magnet, slide-on clip or biased jaw alligator clip as the attachment assembly.
