Abstract
A retractable sleeve for a push pin or compass is provided creating a safety mechanism for the device on which it is used. The sleeve preferably incorporates a spring such that the sleeve is maintained in a position to encase a point of the device and safely prevent accidental sticking from the pointed end. The sleeve may also incorporate a groove for alignment purposes and ease of use. The groove may also have a perpendicularly extending portion in which a button from the device on which the sleeve is used may engage to maintain the same in a tense position. The sleeve may be incorporated, for example, for use with a push button or a compass or other like mechanism for which safety issues are a concern.
