We JOHN DARLING of 2 Wharton Street, King's Cross Road, London, Engineer,
and THOMAS CLARKE of 3 Duncan Street, Islington, London, Solicitor, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to provide a simple and efficient means for
threading needles with wool, cotton, silk, or other analogous material.
In carrying our Invention into practice, we provide a piece of metal or other
suitable material and of any suitable length, one end of which is fastened to a
wool card or spool, or any other substance. At the other end of the piece of
metal there is a slit or fork arrangement. In threading a needle the wool,
cotton, silk or other analogous material is placed in the fork or slit. The needle
to be threaded is then put over the piece of metal and thread thereby forcing
the wool, cotton, silk, or other material through the eye of the needle. By this
means the needle becomes threaded.
The forked end of the piece of metal may project beyond the card, or it may be
flush with it. In the latter case a cut-out would be made in the card.

We, JOHN DARLING of 2 Wharton Street, King's Cross Road, London, Engineer,
and THOMAS CLARKE of 3 Duncan Street, Islington, London, Solicitor, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
Our Invention has for its object to provide a simple and efficient means for
threading needles with wool, cotton, silk, or other analogous material.
In order that our Invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect we have hereunto appended one sheet of Drawings of, which
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing our improvements applied to a wool card.
Figure 2 is a side view of the same."
Figure 3 is an enlarged front view of the threader, shewing the needle in the
act of being threaded.
Figure 4 is a side view of the same.
Figure 5 shews our improvements applied to a hank of wool.

page_text: In carrying our Invention into practice, we provide a piece of metal A or other
suitable material and of any suitable length, one end B of which is fastened
to a wool card C or spool or any other substance. At the other end of the piece
of metal A there is a slit or fork arrangement D. In threading the needle E
the wool F, cotton, silk or other analogous material is placed in the fork or slit D.
The needle F to be threaded is then put over the piece of metal and thread
thereby forcing the wool, cotton, silk, or other material through the eye of the
needle as shewn in Figures 3 and 4. By this means the needle becomes threaded.
The forked end D of the piece of metal A, may project beyond the card, or it
may be flush with it. In the latter case a cut-out would be made in the card.
In Figure 5 the threader is fixed to a small disc K of cardboard or other suitable
material and is connected to the hank of wool by a, thread or otherwise.
The threader may also form part of a piece of metal or clip used for the purpose
of holding a hank or skein of wool or other analogous material together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
The arrangement for threading needles constructed substantially as described
and illustrated on the accompanying sheet of Drawings.
