ABSTRACT:
A needle threader device includes: a loop support base; a threading loop connected to the loop support base; a needle holder base; a needle cradle located on the needle holder base; a loop passage guide located on the needle holder base and intersecting the needle cradle at a predetermined angle, and being biased toward one end of the needle cradle; and, a thread insertion hole located on the needle holder base, adjacent to and connected to the loop passage guide. The loop support base and the needle holder base and rotatably connected so that the threading loop may be inserted into the guide and extended into the thread insertion hole. A user may insert a needle into the needle cradle with the needle eye located at the intersection of the needle cradle and the loop passage guide, then move the loop support base toward the needle holder base so as to insert the threading loop into the loop passage guide, through the eye of the needle and into the thread insertion hole. The user may then insert thread through the thread insertion hole and the threading loop, and then move the loop support base away from the needle holder base so as to withdraw the threading loop from the thread insertion hole, from the eye of said needle, and from the loop passage guide so as to thread the needle.
