Needle holes

Abstract

The present invention was invented in order to ease the process of threading a needle. It also gives people, who do not have the coordination to thread a needle, the ability to sew and knit. The present invention allows a wider range of people to use needles, and improves the ease of which sewing is done. The design is simple and easy to produce keeping the needles price at a low amount.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A needle comprising of a thread holding cavity, said thread holding cavity has an opening to allow thread to slide in from the side, instead of inserted through the thread holding cavity.  
     
     
         2 . The thread holding cavity in  claim 1  comprises: 
 a) a hole similar to the hole in prior art needle, and  
 b) a thin, diagonal cut in one side of said hole in (a), allowing thread to easily slide in and stay in the holding cavity.  
 
     
     
         3 . The thread holding cavity in  claim 1  comprises: 
 a) a hole similar to the hole in prior art needle, and  
 b) two thin diagonal cuts jutting in opposite directions creating a v shape, allowing thread to easily slide in and stay in the holding cavity.  
 
     
     
         4 . The thread holding cavity in  claim 1  comprises: 
 a) a hole similar to the hole in prior art needle, and  
 b) a flexible section of the side of the needle head, allowing that section to bend inwards, or outwards, allowing the thread to be placed in position, while making it difficult for the thread to slide out when the section is bent back in place.  
 
     
     
         5 . The thread holding cavity in  claim 1  comprises: 
 a) a v shaped cut located at the center of the needle head,  
 b) a narrow opening, leading to the hole, at the tip of the needle, and  
 c) a thin section of the v shaped cut that will catch the thread and hold it in place.  
 
     
     
         6 . The thread holding cavity in  claim 1  comprises: 
 a) a wide opening, starting at the edge of the needle, that gradually becomes narrower, leading to a small opening, and  
 b) a thin slit connected to the small opening of said opening in (a), slightly larger than thread, located at the center of the needle head, that will catch the thread and keep it in place.  
 
     
     
         7 . A spool that supports the threading activity required in  claim 1 , comprises two small cuts located at opposite ends of the spool, allowing the thread to be placed in each cut, causing the thread to be taut, and easy to control.  
     
     
         8 . A spool that supports the threading activity required in  claim 1 , comprises: 
 a) a bar that reaches from one end of the spool to the other,    b) one or a plurality of thin cuts located on the bar, that allow the thread to be inserted into the cut, causing the thread to be taut, and easy to control.
