[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a needle case, and particularly to a needle case that allows threading through the needle hole with ease.

<Prior Art> A conventional needle case holds a plurality of needles in the case by piercing the plurality of needles through a needle holding portion fixed in the case.

In such a needle case, when threading a thread through a needle hole, the thread is threaded through the needle hole after the needle is removed from the case. Alternatively, open the case, expose the needle hole outside the case with the needle held in the needle holder, pass the thread through the needle hole in this state, and then remove the threaded needle from the needle case. There is.

When using a conventional needle case in this way, the operation of removing the needle from the needle case and the operation of threading the thread through the needle hole must be performed separately, and the operation of threading the thread through the needle hole is particularly difficult. .

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In view of the above points, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a needle case in which threading the thread through the needle hole is particularly easy. <Problems to be solved by the invention>Means> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a storage section that can accommodate a plurality of needles, and each needle stored in the storage section can be taken out toward one side of the case by pinching its body. a case member, which is located in the housing part, has both ends fixed to the other side of the case opposite to the direction in which the needles are taken out, and has an extending side that penetrates each needle hole, thereby allowing a plurality of needles to be inserted into the housing part; A needle support member made of a thin metal wire bent into two strips that can be supported in a suspended state, and a free end side of the needle support member that is expanded so that a thread can easily pass through the expanded interior and the needle can be expanded. The metal elasticity in the direction prevents passage of the needle hole in the retrieval direction under normal conditions, and the metal elasticity in the expansion direction prevents passage of the needle in the retrieval direction when each needle is removed in the retrieval direction from the position where it is suspended from the needle support member. a threading annular portion formed to allow the thread to pass through the needle hole against resistance, and a case body corresponding to the threading annular portion so that the thread can be passed through the threading annular portion from the outside of the case body. A needle case is provided, comprising: a threading notch formed in a section;

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the needle case according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the needle case shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
A plurality of needles 40 are supported in a suspended state within the housing portion 12 of the case member 10 by passing the needle support portion 30 through the needle hole of each needle 40 in the case member 10 which is approximately rectangular and relatively flat. ing.

The case member 10 is preferably made of hard plastic and has a housing part 12 that can house a plurality of needles 40 in parallel, and each needle 40 housed in the housing part 12 has its body. It is configured so that it can be picked up and taken out toward one side of the case member 10. To further explain this configuration, the case member 10 has a take-out port 14 on one side of the case member 10 from which a plurality of needles 40 can be taken out in sequence in a parallel direction, and a case that forms a housing section 12 from an intermediate position of the take-out port 14. A needle picking notch 16 is formed by cutting out both side walls of the member, and the body of the needle 40 located at the top in the taking out direction is picked up from the needle picking notch 16 and removed from the taking out port 14. It is structured so that it can be taken out in order. Note that the threading notch 18 formed above the outlet 14 will be explained later.

The needle support part 30 is made of a thin metal wire bent into two strips, and both ends of the thin metal wire are connected to the needle 40.
is fixed to the side of the case member opposite to the take-out direction, that is, the take-out port 14, and the free end side extends horizontally in the take-out port 14 direction. By penetrating the needles 40, a plurality of needles 40 can be supported in a suspended state within the housing portion 12.

Next, the threading annular portion indicated by the reference numeral 34 will be explained. By expanding the free end side of the needle support member 30, this threading annular portion 34 can easily pass the thread 50 into the expanded interior, and due to the metal elasticity in the expanding direction, it can normally be threaded in the take-out direction. The needle support member 3 prevents each needle 40 from passing through the needle hole.
When the needle is pulled out in the direction of the outlet 14 from the position where it is supported in a hanging state at 0, it is formed so as to be able to pass through the needle hole against the metal elasticity in the expanding direction. Note that although the expanded shape of the threading annular portion 34 is shown in the drawing as being expanded into a substantially diamond shape, it is not limited to the expanded shape shown in the drawings as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned functions. Of course.

To explain the above-mentioned threading notch 18, this threading notch 18 inserts the thread 5 into the threading annular part 34 from the outside of the case member 10.
It is formed by cutting out both wall surfaces of the case member 10 at a position corresponding to the threading annular portion 34 so that the threader 0 can be threaded therethrough. In the drawing, threading notch 1
Although 8 is shown as a horizontal cutout extending from the take-out port 14 to the threading annular portion 34, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an opening corresponding to the threading annular portion 34 may also be used. good.

In addition, in FIG. 2, the reference numeral 20 is
These ribs 20 are vertically formed on the inner wall surface of the needles 20 at predetermined intervals to prevent undesired movement of the plurality of needles 40 supported in a suspended state via the needle support member 30. It can be regulated.

In use, hold the case member 10 with one hand and thread the desired thread 50 into the threading annular portion 34 as shown in FIG. If you pinch the body of the needle 40 and pull it out from the position where it is suspended from the needle support member 30 in the direction of the outlet 14 as shown by the arrow,
During the extraction process, the thread 50 is passed through the needle hole against the metal elasticity in the expanding direction of the threading annular portion 34 through which the thread 50 is passed.

In this manner, when the needle is removed from the needle case, the thread can be passed through the needle hole of the needle that has been removed at the same time.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIG. 3.

In this embodiment, a known case member 10 is used. That is, the case member 10 is made of cardboard or the like and consists of a first sheet part 22 that holds a plurality of needles and a second sheet part 23 that functions as a cover member.
3 are connected along a fold line 24, and a locking piece 25 formed at the end of the second sheet part 23 is removably fitted into a notch engaging part 26 formed on the back side of the first sheet part 22. This allows the case to be opened and closed. The needle case provided in this embodiment has the same basic features as the needle case in the previously described embodiment except for the shape of the case member.
A redundant explanation of each component will be omitted, and the symbols and the like will be briefly explained below. In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a needle storage part formed by the first sheet part 22 and the second sheet part 23, and 14 denotes take-out ports located at both ends of the first sheet part 22 and the second sheet part 23. , 18 is a threading notch formed in the first sheet portion 22;
30 is a needle support part attached to the first sheet part 22, 28 is a fixing device for fixing the base side of the needle support part 30 to the first sheet part 22, 34 is a threading annular part, and 40 is a needle support part The needles are shown suspended and supported at 30, respectively.

In use, after opening the case member, thread the desired thread into the threading annular portion 34 as in the previous embodiment, and then pinch the body of the needle 40 located on the take-out port 4 side. If the needle is then pulled out in the direction of the take-out port 14 from the position where it is supported in a suspended state by the needle support member 30, the thread resists the metal elasticity in the expanding direction of the threading annular part 34 through which the thread is threaded during the pull-out process. The thread is then passed through the needle hole.

In this manner, also in this embodiment, when the needle is removed from the needle case, the removed needle can be simultaneously threaded through the needle hole.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to the needle case of the present invention, when the needle is removed from the needle case, the thread is passed through the needle hole of the needle that is removed at the same time. It is extremely easy to operate as there is no need to perform a threading operation.
