Multi-Needle Threader

Abstract

A multi-needle threader for use in weaving hair extensions. The threader has an “L” shaped body for holding at least one spool of thread in proximity to a plurality of needles held in pin cushions. The needles and pin cushions are positioned on the threader such that the needles can be threaded in a sequence or order continuously one needle to another until all are pre-threaded for use and then the needles can be used in reverse order without unthreading any unused needles.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-needle threader comprising:
 a body having at least one spool holder for at least one spool of thread and a plurality of receivers or holes for containing pin cushions; and   a plurality of pin cushions, sized to fit in said receivers or holes;   wherein said pin cushions are positioned in said receivers or holes in a manner as to enable the pin cushions to each hold at least one needle and as to allow threading of the needles in a sequence or order so that the threading is continuous one needle to another.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 1  wherein said body is “L” shaped having a horizontal base and a vertical portion such that the horizontal base contains the at least one spool holder and the vertical portion comprises said plurality of receivers or holes. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 2  wherein the receivers or holes in the vertical portion are configured in at least one column. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 3  wherein each column has at least two receivers or holes. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 3  wherein the receivers or holes in the vertical portion are configured in two columns. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 5  wherein each column has three to twenty receivers or holes. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 3  wherein the receivers or holes in the vertical portion are configured in three columns. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 7  wherein each column has two to ten receivers or holes. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 1  wherein the pin cushions are cylindrical in shape and have a rounded head on one end and either a flat or a rounded head on the other end. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 3  further comprising at least one guide for guiding the thread to the pin cushions. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 2  further comprising support for said base. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 11  wherein said support comprises at least one suction cup. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 11  wherein said support comprises two suction cups. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-needle threader of  claim 11  wherein said support comprises four suction cups.
