   Amended Cims Sheet 1. This invention is to help eradicate at least 98% of all accidents, inconveniences and troubles when using drawing pins to affix decorations, banners, balloons, streamers to either high or low locations.

   2. To use Pinhead, adjust the slider to the width of the pins head which is about to be used. This is done by loosening the screws attaching the slider to the head.

   3. By pushing the slider to the head, with just enough gap to allow the pin to come out when affixing decoration, but will not allow the pin just to fall out, where it could be lost, bent or even worse, stood upon. This method will make sure it will be securely held firm, ready for use.

   4. The head and slider are designed to accommodate any sized pins on the market and because of its ability to slide apart, this makes it unique in every use. When the pin is accommodated in the slider and head, the head can be screwed to the choice of either I or 2 long handles which will act as conduits to get the height required for any high location.

   5. The slider has a front face with a U or V shaped slot which is thicker at the base, so as to leave a small gap, making only one side of the pins head touching the ceiling and allowing easy retrieval of pins because of the taper on the front face of the slider.

   6. The Pinhead is ergonomically shaped and formed as to help wheelchair bound people who have upper body strength and ability. This will allow them, and others, the power and freedom to do the task for themselves. The head is user friendly and could be used by people with arthritic hands and people with less dexterity than others.

   7. The head and slider along would be used for low down decoration of dado rails, windows and doors.
