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 couldnt 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.
