Abstract
A container for holding curved needles has side fixation hooks in pairs and a center fixation hook projected from a bottom plate to fix a needle by putting the needle between the hooks and in which the tip of the needle falls down securely to a fixed direction. In case of holding plural needles, plural side fixation hooks and center fixation hooks are molded to project continuously in a line from the bottom plate and so the backs of the hooks are united with one another.
