BUILDING A BETTER PUSH-PIN

BUILDING A BETTER PUSH-PIN

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Wireless Flash) – Forget about building a better mousetrap – a North Carolina father-daughter team have created what they claim is a better push pin. 21-year-old Christa Wagner and her dad, David, spent five years developing their “Q-Pin,” which can stick posters or pictures to the wall without punching a hole in the photo. The patented pin is shaped like the letter “Q” with the top of the letter attaching to the wall and the tail of the letter clamping to the picture. The quest for the Q-Pin began because Christa couldn’t stand the way regular push pins ruined her high school photography class projects with little pin pricks. The Q-Pins will go on sale nationwide later this year.
