Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a clothing pin for attaching an object, such as a name badge or brooch, to clothing material or similar material. The invention provides a first small plate (1) and a second small plate (2) which are mounted so as to be able to slide with respect to each other along a defined slide path parallel to the plane of said small plates, and at least one hook (3) which is mounted so as to be able to rotate with respect to the first small plate around an axis of rotation which is essentially transverse to the direction of the said slide path, which hook comprises a free first end (4) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing away from the second small plate and also a second end (5) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing the second small plate and which is located within the slide path of said second small plate. According to the invention, provision is made that, in a first quasi-stationary state intended for fastening the clothing pin to, or removing it from, the clothing material, the said second end (5) of the hook (3) extends outside the first small plate (1) at the side facing the second small plate (2), and that, to reach a second quasi-stationary state intended for the clothing pin to be fastened to the clothing material, the second small plate is slid with respect to the first small plate at least far enough for the second end of the hook to rest against the side of the second small plate facing the first small plate.
