  • Patent number: 6973888
    Abstract: A needle threading device of a sewing machine, wherein an operating lever is manually operated to move down against spring action until a threading hook secured to the lower end of a threading bar comes to a position where there is an eye of machine needle. The threading bar is then axially rotated. With the axial rotation of the threading bar, the threading hook is rotated to pass through the needle eye. With release of the operating lever from the manual operation, the threading bar is moved up by spring action while the threading hook catches an upper thread of the sewing machine and is pulled out of the needle eye.

The threading bar is then axially rotated. With the axial rotation of the threading bar, the threading hook is rotated to pass through the needle eye. With release of the operating lever from the manual operation, the threading bar is moved up by spring action while the threading hook catches an upper thread of sewing machine and is pulled out of the needle eye. More precisely, with downward movement of the operating member C, the threading bar 2 and the thread holder D are moved down to a lower end of a first region defined by a guide means where the upper thread extended between the thread holder D and a thread anchoring member 4f arranged at the lower end of the threading bar 2 is located at a level below the level of the needle eye 17a.
