The pin or stud i prevents the thread from coming out or escaping. The two ends of the thread lie in the grooves or recesses in the jaws, and they pass out through the end of the needle. Having now described the nature of the said Invention, and in what 5 manner the same may be performed, I declare that I claim, a needle having its head, blunt end, or threaded end split or divided so as to form jaws, such jaws being grooved, channelled, or recessed, and being bevilled towards their extremities, and being provided or fitted with an inclined pin or stud, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set 10 forth. In witness whereof, I, the said David Oppenheimer, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of June, in the year One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five. DAVID OPPENHEIMER.
