Definitions

  • the invention relates to an embroidery apparatus.
  • a plurality of embroidering heads are spaced in a predetermined direction.
  • a drive shaft connects these heads extending in the predetermined direction.
  • Drive means is operatively connected to the shaft and is spaced in the predetermined direction by a given distance from a terminal one of the heads.
  • Holder means is adapted to carry material to be embroidered and is arranged adjacent the heads.
  • Carriage means is provided and comprises a support member which connects it with the holder means, such support member extending transversely of the shaft to intermediate the drive means and the terminal one of the heads and being arranged for reciprocation in the predetermined direction by a predetermined distance which at most equals the given distance mentioned before.
  • Embroidery apparatuses which comprise a plurality of embroidery heads which are spaced from one another and which each are capable of embroidering the material to be treated.
  • This material is carried by an embroidery frame which in turn is supported by and movable with a pantograph.
  • the arrangement is such that bars extend to one side of the pantograph and carry the embroidery frame, with one such bar being located between each two consecutive embroidery heads.
  • the movements of the pantograph arrangement which determine the embroidery pattern because they move the material relative to the head in such a manner that the desired embroidery is obtained, are controlled by a suitable programming means, for instance by a puch-card device.
  • each of the embroidery heads can act upon only a specific size field of the material to be embroidered and various factors, such as the width of the embroidery heads, the width and the stroke of the support members extending from the pantograph arrangement and carrying the frame, and other factors make it impossible to enlarge the size of this field.
  • the fields of adjacent heads do not meet and there is always between them an area of material on which embroidery cannot be applied.
  • five embroidery heads are arranged in a row with the necessary spacing from one another, then they will produce five fields of embroidery which are separated from one another by areas not embroidered, rather than producing a strip of embroidery which is not interrupted by blank areas.
  • the embroidery heads are arranged in a row and are spaced from one another by a distance of, say 400 mm.
  • the dimension of the filed which can be embroidered with each head, as seen in the direction of extension of the row of heads, is substantially 250 mm.
  • the present invention provides an embroidery machine which is capable of embroidering long strips of material without any interruption by blank spaces.
  • I provide a plurality of embroidering heads which are spaced in a predetermined direction, and a drive shaft which uonmeets these ends and which extends in the same direction.
  • Drive means for driving the shaft is operatively connected thereto and is spaced in the predetermined direction by a given distance from a terminal one of the heads.
  • the heads are, of course, arranged in a row because this follows from the fact that they are spaced in a predetermined direction.
  • Holder means is provided which is adapted to carry the material to be embroidered and which is arranged adjacent to the heads so that the same can act upon such a material.
  • carriage means which comprises a support member connecting the carriage means with the holder means.
  • the clamping or embroidery frames which are conventionally used and known from the art are of circular configuration and, as pointed out above, are used to hold the material for each of the embroidery heads in conventional embroidery apparatuses.
  • the material must, however, be held for a plurality of embroidery heads, that is for an en tire battery of such heads at the same time.
  • an embroidery frame which consists of a frame member having two opposite faces, with clamping means being provided on one of these faces extending normal thereto.
  • the apparatus shown therein comprises a plurality of embroidery heads which, in the illustrated embodiment, are arranged in two groups with the heads in group 2 being identified with reference numeral 1 and the heads in group 3 being identified with reference numeral 1'. All of the heads are spaced from one another in a predetermined direction and are jointly driven by an elongated shaft 4 which extends in this pre' determined direction and is operatively connected to all of the heads 1, 1.
  • a clamping frame 5 is associated with the heads 1 of the entire group 2, and a similar clamping frame 5' is associated with all of the heads 1 of the entire group 3, it being clear that only two of the heads 1' of group 3 are illustarted because group 3 is a duplication of group 2 and a complete showing is therefore not essential for an understanding of the invention.
  • the frames 5, 5' hold the material to be embroidered, as will be discussed later on with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • These frames are connected by the members 9, 9' to a pantograph arrangement 6 consisting of the rods 7, 8 to which the members 9, 9' are connected with the rod portion 10 which enables movement of the frames 5, 5' in the direction of the double-headed arrow A, and they are further connected to the rod 12 through the linkages 11 to permit movement of the frames 5, 5' the doubleheaded arrow B, namely normal to the direction A.
  • a program control means such as a conventional punch-card device 13 which forms no part of the present invention and need therefore not be described, particularly since it is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the device 13 also acts to control rotation of the shaft 4 via the drive means 14 through the shaft, and this will be discussed subsequently.
  • each of the frames 5, 5, and corresponding to the size of the material which is to be embroidered and is carried by the respective frames is subdivided into a plurality of identical fields which in the drawing are indicated in phantom lines and, in case of the frame 5, are identified with reference numeral 5a and in case of the frame 5' are identified with reference numeral 5a.
