rajzszög

Rajzszög is a Hungarian term that translates to "drawing pin" or "thumbtack" in English. It refers to a small, short-legged pin with a broad, flat head, used for fastening paper, posters, or other light materials to a surface, typically a wall or board. The pin part is usually made of metal, often steel, and is sharp enough to penetrate most soft materials. The head is designed to be pressed down with a thumb, providing leverage to push the pin into the surface.

These simple fasteners are widely used in homes, offices, schools, and workshops. They are particularly common for temporary displays, such as pinning up notices, artwork, or decorations. The broad head distributes the pressure evenly, preventing the material from tearing around the pinhole. Rajzszög are inexpensive and readily available in various colors and materials, although the most common are metallic. Their design has remained largely unchanged for centuries, highlighting their effectiveness and practicality. They are a basic yet essential tool for organization and display.
