Tag pin

A tag pin group comprised of a plurality of integrally molded tag pins formed from a synthetic resin and lying in an aligned row, each said tag pin comprising:

• a solid head portion, said head portion including a transverse bar-like projection,
• said transverse bar-like projection being positioned approximately mid-way of the longitudinal height of said head portion and coinciding with the largest head width, thereby assuring that the head portion maintains its maximum width, and permitting the use of a relatively thin head portion while preventing deformation of the head portion;
• an elongate transverse bar portion having a uniform cross-section;
• a filament portion interconnecting said head and transverse bar portions to form a tag pin having a generally H-shape;
• a connecting portion extending from said transverse bar portion in a direction away from said filament portion;
• a connecting bar connecting each of said connecting portions of said tag pins, wherein said connecting portion and said connecting bar cooperate to form said tag pin group, said head portion and said transverse bar portion of each tag pin being substantially coplanar and the head and transverse bar portion of each tag pin of said tag pin group lying in substantially parallel planes;
• and
• said solid head portion further including an edge opposite said transverse bar portion, said edge being formed so as to continuously arcuately slope away from said transverse bar portion as it spreads out from the center of the head portion to its outer periphery, the arcuately sloped edge portion forming an obtuse angle with said filament, thus forming a convex release means facing said transverse bar portion permitting easy removal of a single tag pin or group of tag pins from an intermixed group of tag pins.
