ABSTRACT:
A spring actuated jewelry piece for attachment to clothing material includes a decorative backing plate, a bracket assembly having a fixed bracket member mounted to the decorative backing plate and a rotatable bracket member rotatably mounted about a pivot on the fixed bracket member. A pin is attached to the rotatable bracket member at a portion remote from a sharpened end portion of the pin. Clothing material is engaged between the sharpened end portion of the pin and the decorative backing plate, and a flexed, leaf-type spring is mounted within, and substantially along the axis of, the pin and includes an end portion extending within the movable bracket to engage the fixed bracket member. The spring extends from the movable bracket partially toward the sharpened end portion of the pin to provide a constant force to close the pin against the decorative backing plate.
