Abstract

A device 10 for holding knitting needles 14 comprises a body portion 11 having a tubular side wall and opposite end walls 12 provided with apertures 13 of different diameters for receiving respective knitting needles 14 of corresponding diameters, and a pair of end caps 15 for fitting to respective opposite ends of the body portion 11 to retain the knitting needles 14 captively in the apertures 13. In use, a knitting needle 14 from each pair can be inserted into suitably sized apertures 13 in respective ends of the body portion. In this manner the knitting needles are conveniently stored such that it will be readily apparent if one knitting needle from a pair is missing.

Description

<p>Knitting Needle Holder device This invention relates to a knitting
needle holder device. The art of knitting generally involves the use of a pair of identical knitting needles. Most competent knitters possess a very wide range of knitting needles of different lengths and diameters. The problem with this is that needles of any one pair can become lost of misplaced.</p>
<p>I have now devised a knitting needle holder device which alleviates the above-mentioned problems.</p>
<p>In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device for holding knitting needles, the device comprising a body portion having a tubular side wall and opposite end walls provided with a plurality of apertures of different diameters for receiving respective knitting needles, and a pair of closure portions for fitting to respective opposite ends of the body portion to captively retain the knitting needles in said apertures.</p>
<p>In use, a knitting needle from each pair can be inserted into suitably sized apertures I respective ends of the body portion. In this manner the knitting needles are conveniently stored such that it will be readily apparent if one knitting needle from a pair is missing.</p>
<p>Preferably the apertures of the same diameter at opposite ends of the body portion are arranged such that they are substantially in line with each other.</p>
<p>Preferably the closure portions comprise caps for fitting onto respective ends of the body portion. Preferably the caps are arranged to screw-engage the body portion.</p>
<p>Preferably the body portion is circular in cross-section.</p>
<p>Preferably the apertures having the greatest diameter are arranged towards the centre of their respective end walls.</p>
<p>Preferably the or each end wall is removable from the tubular side wall.</p>
<p>An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of an example only and with reference to the accompanying drawing, the single Figure of which is a perspective view of a knitting needle holder device, shown with one. end cap removed and with knitting needles contained therein.</p>
<p>Referring to the drawing there is shown a knitting needle holder device comprising a body portion 10 having a tubular side wall 11 and circular end walls 12. Each end wall 12 is provided with a plurality of apertures 13 therein.</p>
<p>The apertures 13 in each end wall 12 are of a range of different diameters, the opposite ends walls 13 of the body portion 10 being arranged such that apertures 13 of the same diameter are arranged substantially axially in line with each other.</p>
<p>The apertures 13 may be arranged in any order of diameter, although it is preferred that the apertures 13 are arranged with the greatest diameter being at the centre of each end wall 12.</p>
<p>The opposite ends of the tubular side walls 11 each comprise an external screw thread 15 for engaging a complementary internal screw thread 16 on respective cap-ended closures 15 that are provided for fitting to the body portion 10. The cap-ended closures 15 are preferably formed of a transparent plastics material.</p>
<p>In use, one knitting needle 14 from each pair can be inserted into the respective aligned apertures of the appropriate diameter at opposite ends of the device. The knitting needles 14 are sufficiently loose in the apertures 13 to allow the aligned knitting needles 14 to overlap each other.</p>
<p>The closures 15 are arranged to screw onto the respective ends of the body portion 10 to captively retain the knitting needles 14.</p>
<p>A knitting needle holder device in accordance with the present invention is simple and inexpensive in construction yet provides a convenient way of storing knitting needles.</p>
