ABSTRACT:
A bow pin and bow-pin system are provided. The bow pin is formed with a preferably cylindrical shaft having a tip at one end which includes a tapered portion, preferably conical in shape, terminating in a sharp point for use in hand-forming applications. The angle of taper defining the sharp point is no greater than about 9.5 degrees, making it possible to manually press the pin through multiple layers of ribbon and underlying packaging material with a force no greater than 7.5 lbs, preferably no greater than 4 lbs. The base of the tip is of greater diameter than the shaft creating an annular retaining shoulder when the tip is forced through ribbon material and a package or other similar structure. The pin also includes a head of suitable size and shape to facilitate manual insertion and to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. A method is further provided whereby this specially designed pin is used to manually attach multiple layers of ribbon material to a package or similar structure to form a bow in situ.
