Beads threading machine

Abstract

To provide a beads threading machine with which a thread can easily be put through a plurality of beads of various shapes, the beads threading machine comprising supporting portions which are disposed at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction to thereby support annular projecting portions of the beads, a thread holding portion which is disposed at one end side of the row of supporting portions, an insertion member having at a distal end thereof a hook portion, wherein by rotating the rotary plate in a forward direction, the insertion member is inserted through the beads to thereby dispose the hook portion in the thread holding portion, whereas by rotating the rotary plate in a reverse direction, a thread is caused to be hooked on the hook portion so that the thread hooked on the hook portion is put through the bead holes.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC 119 of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2010-148 filed on Jan. 13, 2010, the entire disclosure of which, including the description, claims, drawings and abstract, is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a beads threading machine with which a thread is put through beads.[0004]2. Background Art[0005]Conventionally, there have been proposed various threading machines with which a thread can be put through beads to make an accessory such as a necklace or a bracelet. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. 2003-213552, which is referred to as Patent Document 1, there is proposed a beads threading machine. In this beads threading machine, a shaft which is to be put through bead holes in beads is held by a holding device having a plurality of pairs of holding...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]According to the aspect of the invention, by providing the thread pick-up plate at the thread exit side of the row of supporting portions which is disposed circumferentially, the accessory made up of the beads can easily be removed.

[0018]In addition, by forming the insertion member into the strip-like shape in which the width is larger than the thickness, the insertion member can be made easy to be deflected in the radial direction of the main body and difficult to be deflected in the vertical direction of the main body. By adopting this configuration, since the insertion member can be inserted through and pulled out of the beads holes smoothly, there can be provided the beads threading machine with which the thread can easily be put through the bead holes.

[0019]Further, by configuring the supporting portions as being detachably attached to the base plate, the user can make an accessory by disposing beads of various sizes and shapes in preferred positions in the row of supporting portions.

[0020]By making the base plate on which the supporting portions are place replaceable, the use can make easily an accessory in which various kinds of beads are arranged into a string.

[0021]By arranging the supporting portions to be movable in the circumferential direction, the degree of freedom in making an accessory made up of the beads and the thread can be increased.

Problems solved by technology

However, this beads threading machine is designed to make an accessory to be worn by consecutively linking beads of the same diameter, and hence, there is caused a problem that different types of beads having different outside diameters cannot be linked together consecutively with this beads threading machine.

In addition, in the beads threading machine described in Patent Document 2, although a plurality of types of beads can be selected for threading, since beads need to be guided to the dropping port, beads to be threaded are limited to those having shapes enabling the beads to roll or slide easily.

Additionally, in the beads threading machine, since a direction in which beads are dropped needs to be maintained constant at all times, round beads or beads of complex shapes cannot be threaded.
