Variation of regular pin used to fasten piece of clothes and textile

A safety pin is a variation of the regular pin which includes a simple spring mechanism and a clasp.

The clasp forms a closed loop to properly fasten the pin to whatever it is applied to and covers 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.
