How Paper Pins Are Manufactured???

pin balls? For the game? Like bearing balls?

Paper pins boss............. We use needle type paper pins to join up papers na........ Hw they are manufactured???

It depends on which type. Are the balls also metal or plastic? Same metal or different? Looks like I am asking the questions. But I am a big dummy head.

Do you mean "Staples"?

That is pretty cool Rorschach.

I forsee a new LynDoor™ advertising gimmick in the future!

In the same way as tiny nails are manufactured, may be by injection molding.

i believe it is by cold-heading process on wire...

Here is a video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLkgYir1OlQ

For the benefit of all those who are wondering what is this thing that Yeswanth is talking about...here is an image.

A simple pin with a point on one side and a head on the other. All Indians have, at one time or another, pricked their unfortunate finger with one, and have had copious blood flow.

As you can see, Indian banks still insist on the use of these to clip papers together, staples are forbidden.

Yeswanth, when you are at it, can you also find out how these are made...

Sewing needles

Balls for bearings

How these are squeezed between the races to make a bearing

Model ships in bottles

etc etc

You will be doing a great service to all those who do not know, but haven't the nerve to ask....

they are made the same way nails are made, wire is rolled off a spool, clamped in a split die and a hammer die forms the head, and a grinding head makes the point, then it goes to a plating bath. if they are then to have a plastic ball then they are clamped in a similar split die and plastic is injection molded over the head.

haven't you guys ever heard of a paper clip? far safer, no chance of giving each other Hepatitis C or HIV from a contaminated pin.

Ouch! Does anyone have a sticking plaster, please?

I was thinking about the same: Band-Aid to us colonists.

Are blood drops on the documents common?

paper pins ( ball pins), nails, screw blanks are made by 'Cold forging'. In an automatic machine the coil of wire feeds the material. At the measured length the wire is 'cut-off', point shrpened and the other end hammed to form a head.

The pin is oily due to continuous lubrication / cooling fluid. A lot is dumped into a rotating drum filled with saw dust. The pin is dried in this drum and then sent for electro-plating.

presto- your pin is ready for use.

Ya thQ fr ur valuable views frnzzz and I heard somewhere that Staple pins are manufactured in other countries......... Frm ther I got a question that is that such difficulty in manufacturing Ball pins and Staple pins??? Think fr this also frnzz..... Some of the dudes told that ball pins are made by MOULDING PROCEDURE bt individual moulding may increase cost bt we r getting the product in small costs then WHY? AND HOW is the question???

they are not molded, only plastic heads are molded, and then only for those pins that have plastic heads, most don't. they are "headed" from wire, in the same way nails are made.

"Ball pins.." .

Yeswanth, are you asking about one of these:

These are called 'Map Pins'.

How many pins in a game of Ten Pin Bowling? How many bowling balls will fit on the wings of a Boeing 747 jet airplane? What comes after second base? wiki.answers.com. has these answers.

Our friend kvsridhar posted the image in #11, and also a Youtube video in #6. Is that not what you are looking for? The video is not very technical, but it does show the pins being made.
