A loop pin attaching device for tag hanging is provided with a drive lever which is selectively moveable between a first, unactivated and a second, activated position. A link is rotatably connected with the drive lever and a piston member is connected to the other end of the link, the piston member and link being selectively moveable between first, unactivated and second, activated positions. A pressing body formed with a pipe shape is fixed to a front face of the piston. An insertion guide is dimensioned to allow the pressing body to slide therethrough when the piston member is moved and to receive an insertion portion of a loop pin. A rack gear is rotatably fixed to the link adjacent the second end of the link, and a gear group, formed of at least a first, smaller diameter gear and a second, larger diameter gear, is provided, the smaller diameter gear meshingly engaging the rack gear. A belt which engagingly meshes with the larger diameter gear is adapted to move a receiving portion of a loop pin, and a reception guide is dimensioned to guide this receiving portion when the guide lever is moved from a first position to a second position, wherein the insertion guide and the receiv…
