Abstract
A new needle design is described. The eye of the needle is gapped in such a way that it can be threaded easily without having to insert the thread through the eye of the needle. Rather a thread is guided naturally into the groove of the gap and allowed to fall into the eye of the needle. The gap is fashioned in such a way as to prevent thread fallout during operation as well as fabric from getting caught in the gap.
Claims5
A design for the eye of the needle comprising of a small gap (with a noticeable indentation or groove) at the lower end of the eye composed of an inner lip which lies flush against an outer lip allowing the needle to be threaded by passing the thread through the gap into the eye of the needle.
