Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0327414A1] A needle threader (10) for needlecraft needles (25) has a notch (22,22A,34,45,46) to retain a needle (25) in position on the threader while thread is passed through the eye in the needle threader. The notch (22,22A,34,45,46) may be used in conjunction with shoulders (14,15) utilized as stops for the needle, or may be used with the more conventional threader. The notch (22,22A,34,45,46) for retaining the needle allows easier threading because the threader with the needle can be held with one hand while the thread is manipulated with the other.
