Does anyone know what the common technical name for the attached image of a spring loaded pin? I am pretty sure it is on the market, but not sure what it is called. Maybe you have used them before.

*Note: This is similar to some scaffold clamps, but it is spring loaded, while some scaffold clamps are gravity activated.
