<p>A <b>pin</b> is a device, typically pointed, used for fastening objects or fabrics together. Pins can have the following sorts of body:

</p>

<ul><li>a shaft of a rigid inflexible material meant to be inserted in a slot, groove, or hole (as with pivots, <a href="Hinge" title="Hinge">hinges</a>, and jigs)</li>

<li>a shaft connected to a head and ending in a sharp tip meant to pierce one or more pieces of soft materials like cloth or paper (the straight or push pin)</li>

<li>a single strip of a rigid but flexible material (e.g. a <a href="Wire" title="Wire">wire</a>) whose length has been folded into parallel prongs in such fashion that the middle length of each curves towards the other so that, when anything is inserted between them, they act as a clamp (e.g. the <a href="Bobby_pin" title="Bobby pin">bobby pin</a>)</li>

<li>two strips of a rigid material bound together by a spring at one end so that, when the spring held open, one can insert some material between the prongs at the other end that, the spring allowed to close, then clamp the inserted material.</li></ul>

<p>According to their function, pins can be made of metals (e.g. <a href="Steel" title="Steel">steel</a>, <a href="Copper" title="Copper">copper</a>, or <a href="Brass" title="Brass">brass</a>), wood, or <a href="Plastic" title="Plastic">plastic</a>.

<p>The development of the pin closely paralleled that of its perforated counterpart, the <a href="Sewing_needle" title="Sewing needle">needle</a>. Archaeological evidence suggests that curved sewing pins have been used for over four thousand years. Originally, these were fashioned out of iron and bone by the <a href="Sumer" title="Sumer">Sumerians</a> and were used to hold clothes together. Later, pins were also used to hold pages of books together by threading the <a href="Sewing_needle" title="Sewing needle">needle</a> through their top corner.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Many later pins were made of brass, a relatively hard and <a href="Ductile" class="mw-redirect" title="Ductile">ductile</a> metal that became available during the <a href="Bronze_Age" title="Bronze Age">Bronze Age</a>. This development was followed by the use of steel which was much stronger but tended to <a href="Rust" title="Rust">rust</a> when exposed to humid air. The development of inexpensive <a href="Electroplating" title="Electroplating">electroplating</a> techniques allowed the steel to be plated with <a href="Nickel" title="Nickel">nickel</a>. Nickel did not rust, but tended to flake off the steel in humid weather, again allowing it to rust. However, this took many months or even years to happen, and as nickel plated steel pins were usually used only temporarily to hold cloth in place prior to sewing, no further refinement has been considered necessary. However, some modern specialty pins are made out of rust-proof and very strong <a href="Titanium" title="Titanium">titanium</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
