A molded safety pin having an elongated base portion (12) with extensions (18, 24) at both ends is described. At the first extension (18) a hinged connection provides the means for biasing the pin portion (20) at the juncture of the means for anchoring the pin and the base portion. At the second extension (24) a detent structure (25) provides the means for holding the pin portion securely when the safety pin is in a closed position while permitting convenient manual release of the pin when required. Additionally, a simplified injection mold for fabricating the safety pin is described. |
