pins
Sewing box sharps
Pins are thin, pointed pieces of metal or plastic used to fasten things together.
A straight pin secures fabric; a safety pin has a clasp that covers the point.
Hairpins hold hair in place.
Bowling pins stand to be knocked down.
In electronics, pins are the metal prongs on a connector.
To pin is to hold something in place: He pinned her arms to her sides.
