Storing device for needlework circulars
View Patent ↗A needle storing device having a tube having a passageway, a first end and a second end, and a first cap having a top portion, a collar, a cavity, and an opening defined by a perimeter rim, wherein the tube is configured to receive at least one needlework circular, wherein the first cap engages the first end of the tube, wherein the collar of the first cap extends from the perimeter of the top portion of the first cap thereby defining the cavity of the first cap, and wherein the opening of the first cap is configured to receive a needlework circular.
1. A needle storing device comprising:
a tube having a passageway, a first end and a second end, and
a first cap having a top surface, a collar, a cavity, and an opening defined by a perimeter rim,
wherein the tube is configured to receive a needlework circular,
wherein the first cap engages the first end of the tube,
wherein the opening of the first cap is positioned within the top surface,
wherein the collar of the first cap engages the top surface and extends from the perimeter of the top portion of the first cap thereby defining the cavity of the first cap,
wherein the opening of the first cap is configured to receive the needlework circular, and
wherein the perimeter rim of the opening is configured to implement a compression force on the needlework circular thereby slideably securing the needlework circular within the opening.
2. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the needlework circular comprises a needle and cable, wherein the tube is configured to receive the entire length of the needle.
3. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the opening of the first cap is configured to have a first distance where the opening has not received the needlework circular, a second distance where the opening has received the needlework circular, and wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.
4. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the first cap is fixedly engaged to the first end of the tube.
5. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the tube is rigid thereby reducing damage to the needlework circular.
6. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the edge of the first end of the tube is chamfered.
7. A needle storing device of claim 1 wherein the top portion of the first cap has a shape substantially similar to the cross-sectional shape of the tube.
8. A needle storing device of claim 1 further comprising:
a second cap having a top surface, a collar, a cavity, and an opening defined by a perimeter rim,
wherein the second cap engages the second end of the tube,
wherein the top surface of the second cap engages the collar of the second cap,
wherein the collar of the second cap extends from the perimeter of the top portion of the second cap thereby defining the cavity of the second cap,
wherein the opening of the second cap is positioned within the top surface of the second cap, and
wherein the opening of the second cap is configured to receive the needlework circular.
