Description

  The present invention relates to a needle threader capable of easily passing a thread through a needle hole of a needle.

  Conventionally, a needle threader is provided with a bottomed needle insertion hole for inserting a needle and a threading hole that is a through hole intersecting the needle insertion hole, and the threader is inserted into the body. A thin plate-like thread locking member that hooks the thread into the hole is provided as an operating body, and this thread locking member is attached to an operating portion that slides inside the main body, and when the operating portion is operated, the thread locking member There is one that is inserted into and removed from a through hole and threaded (for example, see Patent Document 1).

When operating this threader, first the needle is inserted into the needle insertion hole, and then when a force is applied to the operation part provided in the main body, the tip of the thread locking member interlocked with the operation part is inserted into the needle hole. The thread is inserted into the front end and threaded through the needle hole. In particular, in this threader, in order to make the direction of the sewing needle hole coincide with the direction of the needle insertion hole, the through hole is also formed on the other side of the needle holding portion other than the first operating body. A second operating body capable of reciprocating in the direction of the head is provided, and the direction of the needle hole is corrected by this operating body.
Further, as a means for correcting the direction of the needle hole other than the threader of Patent Document 1, for example, the shape of the needle insertion hole is formed so as to become narrower according to the direction in which the needle is inserted, and the needle is inserted into the needle insertion hole. Sometimes the needle head, which is a thin shape, is inserted in a state where it is aligned with the direction of the needle insertion hole, so that the threading hole and the needle hole are in communication with each other so that threading can be performed. There is something that was made.

  Further, as a threader other than the above, for example, a pusher that moves forward and backward toward the needle support portion so that the thread can be pushed into the hole of the needle is provided, and when the pusher comes into contact with the needle, There is a threader provided so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the needle (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 3393372 JP 2004-65718 A

However, there are different types of needles for silk, cotton, etc., and there are large diameter needles and small diameter needles, and these needles have extremely different needle hole positions or different needle diameters. For this reason, when the needle holder is set on the threader, the needle hole may be inserted with the position shifted.
If the position of the needle hole is shifted, the needle hole position and the sliding position of the thread locking member may not be matched, and it may be impossible to thread the needle hole.

For example, the threader of Patent Document 1 does not cope with the vertical misalignment of the needle hole that occurs when the needle diameter is different, or when the needle hole shape is different. When the second operating body is operated, the tip of the operating body may not be inserted into the needle hole. Further, even if the first operating body is operated in this state, the distal end side of the first operating body cannot be inserted into the needle hole, and the operating body may be sandwiched between the needle insertion hole and the needle. There was a risk of damage.
Also, in the case of a threader in which the shape of the needle insertion hole is narrowed according to the direction in which the needle is inserted, the needle hole is displaced in the vertical direction depending on the thickness of the inserted needle, or, for example, a small needle hole When the needle was inserted, there was a problem that the insertion position of the needle hole and the threading hole did not match.
As described above, these threaders cannot be threaded when the diameters and types of needles are different. For example, in order to correspond to these needles, the needle threaders are for small diameter needles and large diameter needles. It was necessary to provide two types of threading mechanisms. In this case, there is a problem that the entire threader becomes large and the internal structure becomes complicated. Also, when threading using this threader, check the type and diameter of the needle in advance. Then, it is necessary to insert the needle into the corresponding needle insertion hole. If the needle is set in the wrong needle insertion hole, the threader cannot be threaded and the threader main body may be broken.

The threader of Patent Document 2 has a needle insertion hole having an inner diameter into which the largest type of needle can be inserted, and a support surface for supporting the head of the needle is provided at the bottom of the needle insertion hole. By attaching the head to the needle and pressing the needle with a movable member, positioning and fixing can be performed even for needles of different diameters. However, in order to securely attach the largest type of needle, the width of the support surface that supports the needle head must be increased according to the size of the needle head. When an extremely fine needle is inserted, the gap between the support surface and the needle becomes large, and the needle may rotate with respect to the support surface and cannot be inserted in the correct needle hole orientation.
Therefore, the threader of Patent Document 2 can be inserted into the needle holes of different heights by displacing the distal end side of the pusher in the longitudinal direction of the needle, and can handle the threading of needles having different diameters. However, there were cases where it could not be inserted with the correct orientation of the needle hole. Thus, the size of the diameter that can be inserted into the needle insertion needle is limited to the upper limit of the internal structure, and the types of needles that can be threaded are limited to a narrow range. Therefore, as a result, in order to cover the threading from the small-diameter needle to the large-diameter needle, a large-diameter threading mechanism and a small-diameter threading mechanism are provided separately as described above, or separately. It was necessary to prepare a threader.

  The present invention has been developed as a result of intensive studies in view of the conventional situation, and the object of the present invention is to needles with a wide range of diameters from small diameter to large diameter by one threading mechanism.

In the needle threader in the present embodiment, the container body 1 has an operation member 10 for threading operation to the needle A as described above, and a direction intersecting with the needle hole in conjunction with the operation member 10. Is provided with a thread locking part for threading the thread B through the needle hole O, and a form adjusting part 7 for adjusting the direction of the needle hole O is provided at the site where the needle A is inserted. It is provided with a pattern control unit 9 for thin needles a ₂ at the bottom of the. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a configuration guide portion 13 for a needle that is thinner than the small-diameter needle A ₂ may be provided at the lower portion of the configuration control unit 9.
In addition, needle insertion holes 4 and 5 that are needle insertion portions into which needles having a vertical hole and needles having a round hole can be inserted are individually arranged as portions where the needle A is inserted.

Next, the operation in the embodiment of the needle threader described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the case of threading the thread B to the thickness径針A _1, when inserting the needle hole O ₁ thick径針A ₁ in the needle insertion hole 4 and 5 and down, the large-diameter needle _{A 1} is guided by the guide 16 to form adjuster 7. At this time, even if the needle hole O ₁ is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the threading hole 6, the flat head portion H _{1 of the} large-diameter needle A ₁ is guided by the guide 16 and rotated. and, in order to enter the proper orientation while being modified in form adjuster 7 formed into a flat shape, it can be inserted without the need needles to worry about the orientation of the needle hole O _1.
Since the width of the flat portion of the head H ₁ is larger than the width of the shape control unit 9 for the small-diameter needle, the large-diameter needle A ₁ does not enter the shape control unit 9, and the large-diameter needle A ₁ The head H ₁ is maintained in a state in which it is securely inserted into the shape adjusting portion 7, and at this time, the needle hole O ₁ is in communication with the threading hole 6.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, in the case of threading the thread B to the small diameter needle A ₂ is inserted a thin needle A ₂ in the needle insertion hole 4 and 5 and the needle hole O ₂ under Then, the small-diameter needle A ₂ is guided to the shape adjusting unit 7 by the guide 16 while the direction of the needle hole O ₂ is corrected to an appropriate state, similarly to the case of the large-diameter needle A ₁ .
Then, when the head of H ₂ thin needles A ₂ is smaller than the pattern control unit 9, the head H ₂ is flat form is guided by the guide portion 17 enters to form adjuster 7 The vehicle enters the control unit 9 and is inserted into the form control unit 9. At this time, the direction of the needle hole O ₂ is corrected to an appropriate state, and the needle hole of the small-diameter needle A ₂ is in communication with the threading hole 6 as shown in FIG.

When the needle diameter is an intermediate diameter needle A ₃ between the large diameter needle A ₁ and the small diameter needle A ₂ , the intermediate diameter needle A ₃ is guided by a guide portion 17 as shown in FIG. Then, it enters the entrance side of the configuration control unit 9, and the head H ₃ outer peripheral side comes into contact with the entrance side of the configuration control unit 9, so that it stops halfway without entering the bottom side of the configuration control unit 9. Thus, in the case of the intermediate diameter needle A ₃ , the head H ₃ is fitted in the middle position of the form control unit 9 and the height of the needle hole O ₃ is maintained.
As described above, the needle holes O ₁ , O ₂ , and O ₃ are respectively connected to the threading hole 6 regardless of the thickness of the needles A ₁ , A ₂ , and A _3. As shown in FIG. 5, a standard point (position where the thread B is locked when the thread locking piece 14 is slid) P is a needle hole as shown in FIG. Since it is located within O ₁ , O ₂ , and O ₃ , the thread can be reliably threaded by the thread locking piece 14 as described later. Further, in this example, the case where the small diameter needle A ₁ , the large diameter needle A ₂ , and the intermediate diameter needle A ₃ are inserted has been described. However, any number between the small diameter needle A ₁ and the large diameter needle A _{3 can be used.} it is of course to accommodate the diameter, for example, case of providing a form guide portions 13 for fine needle than thin needles a ₂ at the bottom of the form control unit 9, even when inserting the electrode diameter of the needle, ensuring This needle can be guided.

  At the time of threading through the needle hole O, as shown in FIG. 2, with the needle A inserted into the needle insertion holes 4 and 5, the thread B is placed in the holding portion 8 while being clamped, and the operation member 10 is camped. When pushed down against the elastic force of the coil spring 12 provided at the lower part of the member 30, the actuating members 11, 11 interlocked with the cam member 30 rotate outward about the shaft 1c, and the thread locking piece Threading is performed by pulling the thread B set on the mounting portion 8 at the tip end surface 15 of the 14 into the threading hole 6 while engaging.

In this case, for example, when threading the thickness径針A ₁ shown in FIG. 9, the needle hole O ₁ as shown in FIG. 5 becomes wider state up and down relative to the reference point P, Itogakaritomehen 14 the distal end surface 15 can be threading while moving smoothly with little contact with the needle hole a _1.
On the other hand, when the threading with respect to small diameter needle A ₂ shown in FIG. 10, narrows down the needle hole O ₃ is relative to a standard point P as shown in FIG. 5, initially of pressing the operating member 10 only lower piece 15b side of the thread locking piece 14 is inserted into the needle hole O _2, upper piece 15a is in a state of contact with the side surface of the small-diameter needle a ₂ as shown in FIG. 11. However, when pressing the operating member 10 from this state, the tip end surface 15 side of the thread locking piece 14 in a state of locking the yarn B has a substantially oblique shape of the angle theta, the yarn B is a needle A ₂ while buffering at the contact portion can be passed through the thread engagement pieces 14 to lift the needle a ₂ upwards as shown in Figure 12 to the needle hole O _2.

In this way, the locking piece 14 can lock a part of the needle hole O of the needle A located in the configuration adjusting unit 7 and the configuration control unit 9 to lift the needle and control it to the normal position. Even when the position is shifted with respect to the sliding position of the thread locking piece 14 as in the hole O ₂ (or the needle hole O ₃ ), the thread can be reliably threaded. Further, even when the shape guide portion 13 is provided at the lower portion of the shape control portion 9, it is naturally possible to lock a part of the needle hole of the needle and lift the needle to control it to the normal position. . In addition, even when the needles having different lengths from the needle hole to the head, or when the needle hole is deformed or extremely small, the thread can be reliably threaded. Incidentally, when the needle A ₂ is lifted upward by the thread locking piece 14, part needle A ₂ it had placed becomes space.
In the above, the operation up to Itogakaritomehen 14 contacts the end of the small diameter needle A _2, have been described separately in operation at the time of subsequent threading, it upper piece 15a is an arcuate surface Accordingly, since the Itogakaritomehen 14 is operating to lift a small diameter needle a ₂ is very performed smoothly, at the time of actual threading work for threading smooth as in the case of thick径針a ₁ without feeling uncomfortable be able to.

Moreover, since the guide part 22 is formed along the threading hole 6 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, threading can be performed even when the needle A is thin and the needle hole O is narrow. As shown in FIG. 7, when the needle A is inserted into the needle insertion hole 4 (or 5) and the operating member 10 is operated to slide the thread locking piece 14, the thread B becomes the tip of the thread locking piece 14. When sliding with the surface 15 being engaged and reaching the guide portion 22 in this state, one side of the half-folded thread B is pushed up to the upper surface side of the guide portion 22 by the arc portion 22a.
Further, when the thread locking piece 14 slides, one side of the pushed up thread B slides in close contact with one side surface of the thread locking piece 14 as shown in FIG. Since the other side enters the needle hole O in a state of being separated from the upper surface side of the thread locking piece 14, even when the width of the needle hole O is narrow, the thread B can be easily inserted into the needle hole O. It can also prevent fraying.

When the thread locking piece 14 comes into contact with the needle A when the operation member 10 is pushed down, for example, dust such as thread fraying enters the needle insertion holes 4 and 5 so that the needle A does not face in an appropriate direction. In some cases, the needle A cannot be inserted down, and the needle A may interfere with the sliding of the thread locking piece 14.
When further pressing force is to be applied in such a state, the pressing force is applied from the operation member 10 to the cam member 30, and this pressing force is transmitted when the pressing force is transmitted from the cam member 30 to the link member 33. Is alleviated by the torsion spring 34, so that a stronger force is not applied to the yarn locking piece 14 side. Further, since a pressing force is applied to the contact surface between the stopper portion 31b of the stopper piece 31 and the locking surface 30c of the cam member 30, when the cam member 30 reaches near the lowest position where it can be pressed, it is provided on the stopper piece 31. The inclined surface portion 31c comes into contact with the projecting portion 1d of the main body, the inclined surface portion 31c slides along the projecting portion 1d, the leaf spring portion 31a warps against the elastic force, and the locking surface 30c and the stopper portion 31b. The lock is released.

Accordingly, the locking of the cam member 30 and the stopper piece 31 is released, and only the operation member 10 moves downward and the cam member 30 does not continue to move downward.
