Detailed explanation-1: -He patented the safety pin on April 10, 1849 (U.S. Patent No. 6, 281), and he willingly sold rights to it for just $400. Sales of the invention would later earn a number of opportunistic businessmen substantial fortunes, but Hunt never earned another penny for his creation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hunt’s safety pin became patent number 6, 281 and made a lot of money for people not named Walter Hunt. Hunt also invented the sewing machine, an innovation he did not patent, which allowed others to appropriate the technology and reap the rewards.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Invention of the Safety Pin On April 10, 1849, Hunt was granted US patent #6, 281 for his safety pin. Hunt’s pin was made from one piece of wire, which was coiled into a spring at one end and a separate clasp and point at the other end, allowing the point of the wire to be forced by the spring into the clasp.
