ABSTRACT:
A needle case includes a case member and a needle supporting member. The case member has an accommodation portion capable of accommodating therein a plurality of needles, a notch portion where any of the shanks of the needles can be pinched, a takeout opening from which a needle is extracted, and a cutaway portion through which thread is passed. The needle supporting member is formed of elastic metal or resin into a forked elongate member having a forked portion fixed to a portion of the case member at a position opposite to the position of the takeout opening, an extension portion extending in a direction in which a needle is extracted and passing through the eyes of the needles to support the needles in a suspended state within the accommodation portion, and an expansion portion disposed at a position corresponding to the position of the cutaway portion, having a hole of a diameter substantially the same as the width of the cutaway portion and large enough to easily pass thread therethrough, and capable of preventing the needles from passing therethrough due to an elastic force of the material thereof in an expanding direction thereof under normal conditions but permitting a needle to pass therethrough against the elastic force when a force for extracting the needle from the takeout opening is exerted on the needle.
