Abstract
The invention relates to a threading device (1) for the threading of a line through a ring member or the like that comprises a body (2), a rotatable arc-shaped element (14) suspended in the body and having an opening (26), and a line holding means (16) arranged to slide on the arc-shaped element, where the arc-shaped element is adapted to assume a first position with the opening in a first direction and a second position with the opening in a second position, and where the threading device further comprises transfer means (18) adapted to transfer a movement to the outer surface of the arc-shaped element in order to rotate the arc-shaped element between the first and the second position. The advantage of the invention is to provide a threading device that is easy to operate, that can be used by both pushing and pulling and that can be manufactured in a cost-effective way.
