The stopper body 22 is made of a synthetic resin and is formed into a disk shape having a hole 22A in the center. The other end 20B of the flexible wire 20 is inserted into the hole 22A and the other end of the flexible wire 20 is also inserted. A spherical locking portion 23 is formed on the stopper body, and the stopper body 22 is a flexible wire rod.
It is formed so as not to fall out of 20.

Usually, the thickness of the knitting needle body 21 is related to the thickness of the hand-knitting yarn,
Since the thickness of the knitting needle is different depending on the thickness of the hand knitting yarn, the number 22B is engraved on the surface of the stopper body 22 or the diameter number 21A is printed on the surface of the knitting needle body 21 depending on the knitting needle. There is.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In this type of conventional knitting needle, in order to confirm the number and diameter of the knitting needle, the number 22B and the number 21A displayed on the surface of the stopper body 22 and the knitting needle body 21 can be considered. I had to do it, but the issue number
Since 22B and the number 21A have to be displayed in small size, the confirmation is quite troublesome.

Especially for the elderly and people who are hard to see, it is not an easy task to confirm these small number numbers 22B and 21A.

Further, although the stopper body 22 has a disk-like shape as shown in FIG. 4, the conventional one has a poor taste.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems,
It is appropriate to check the number of knitting needles and its diameter at a glance,
Moreover, the object is to provide a new and attractive knitting needle.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A knitting needle according to the present invention connects one end of a flexible wire to the base end of a knitting needle body, and connects the other end of the flexible wire to a person,
A miniature imitating a shape of an animal, a vegetable, a vehicle or the like is attached as a stopper body for preventing deviation of stitches, and the miniature is provided with a specific miniature according to each number of knitting needles.

(Operation) In the present invention, one end of the flexible wire is connected to the base end of the knitting needle body, and the other end of this flexible wire imitates the shape of a person, animal, vegetable, vehicle, or the like. Since the miniature is attached as a stopper body for preventing stitch deviation and the miniature is configured as a specific miniature according to each number of knitting needles, it is possible to distinguish the number and diameter of knitting needles by the type of the miniature. It is possible to identify the number and diameter of the knitting needle just by looking at the miniature.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a knitting needle of the present invention, in which 1 represents a knitting needle, and this knitting needle 1 has a knitting needle body 3 at one end 2A of a flexible wire 2.
The base end portion 3A is connected to the other end portion 2B of the flexible wire 2 and the stopper body 4 for preventing the stitch deviation is attached.

The flexible wire 2 is made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin wire such as nylon in this embodiment, and has a length of about 45 in this embodiment.
cm, and the diameter is about 2 mm.

One end 2A of the flexible wire 2 and the base end 3A of the knitting needle body 3 are connected via a connecting pipe 5.

The connecting pipe 5 is made of aluminum and is formed into a tubular shape and has a rear end portion.
1/3 has a gradually narrowing diameter toward the rear end and is formed in a substantially truncated cone shape.

One end 2A of the flexible wire 2A is inserted from the rear end of the connecting pipe 5, and a locking portion (not shown) is provided at one end of the flexible wire 2A so that the flexible wire 2A does not come off from the connecting pipe 5. There is.

Reference numeral 2C denotes a bulge portion, and the flexible wire 2 is provided so as not to rattle in the axial direction of the connecting pipe 5. The knitting needle body 3 is formed in a taper shape in which the tip portion 3C gradually narrows toward the tip, and the central portion 3B has various thicknesses depending on the number of the knitting needle body 3.

A stopper body 4 for preventing stitch deviation is attached to the other end 2B of the flexible wire 2.

This stopper body 4 is a human or a natural product such as animals or vegetables,
Alternatively, a miniature imitating the shape of a machine tool such as a vehicle or a musical instrument, or another tool is used. In this embodiment, the stopper body 4 is formed by using a miniature made of soft synthetic resin and imitating giraffe.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view in which a part of the stopper body 4 is cut away, and the inside of the stopper body 4 is formed hollow, and the first member 4A on the upper body side and the second member on the lower body side are formed. 4B
The upper end opening of the second member 4B is detachably fitted to the connecting portion 4a formed below the lower end edge of the first member 4A so as to connect the first and second members. ing.

A through hole 4b communicating with the hollow portion of the stopper body 4 is formed at the center of the bottom portion of the second member 4B of the stopper body 4.

The other end 2B of the flexible wire 2 is inserted into the through hole 4b, and a spherical locking portion 2b is formed at the other end edge.

6 is a washer, which is attached to the other end portion 2B of the flexible wire rod 2 so that the locking portion 2b does not easily come out of the through hole 4b.

Next, a manufacturing procedure of the above configuration will be described.
