Abstract

Standard pin badges used for police, fire, EMS and security uniforms attach to thin uniform shirts with no other means of support. This gives the badge an unstable platform allowing the badge to flop around on the uniform. That movement creates an unprofessional appearance and possible safety risks of catching on equipment or other people when in close contact. The BadgeKeeper, resolves those issues by attaching behind a pin badge and under a uniform shirt to provide support, stabilization and added safety.
