OBS

Avec l'usage, il arrive que le nom de l'inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors de «porte-aiguille Crile-Wood» et non plus de «porte-aiguille de Crile-Wood».

OBS

Pluriel : des porte-aiguilles.
