Abstract:
A unitary extruded and cut plastic element serves as an emblem holder with a base member with a frontwardly protruding spacing flange from which a pierced support platform extends. The support platform receives the mounting pin shank of a wearable pin, to mount the head of the wearable pin frontward of the support platform, while a spring clasp is affixed to the pin shank rearward of the support platform. A clasp flange projects rearwardly of the base member, and a clasp member extends from the clasp flange towards the support member. The clasp flange and clasp member are resilient, and thus allow the emblem holder to be removably and nondestructively connected to an article of clothing. The support platform may have a rearwardly projecting protective flange.
