The article says that the safety pin was "reinvented" in 2007 - what is meant by this? Safety pins are a well-known invention as of 2007. Typically reproduction of a common and well known device is not considered "reinvention." 207.161.180.52 (talk) 18:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] nappy pins

I remember from when I was a child a variant of the safety pin idea which my mum reffered to as a napppy pin. It was a large safety pin with an additional sliding mechanism added to the catch to consdeirablly reduce the chance of them coming undone accidently. Does this deserve a mention?
