EMBROIDERING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 25, 1910.

Application .tiled August 29, 1908. Serial No. 450,812.

To all whom lit may conce/rn:

Be it known that we, PAUL MmNur/r and l HEINRICH REI-1M, subjects of the German Emperor, residing, respectively, at lGiben- 3 stock and Schneeberg, both in Saxony, Gerg many, have invented certain new and uscful Improvements in Embroidering-Niachines and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in embroidering machines for fastening threads, in embroidery work and the like, so that they lie upon the cloth without passing through the fabric. This kind of work is sometimes called application embroidery. The respective thread, for example a gold thread or the like, must be so guided that the needles drawing the embroidery threads proper fasten or sew the applied 5 carand tance above the latter an eye 5 on its face. Laterally from the member a there branches a downwardly curved member l) having` a notch 6 at its lower end substantially level with the hole 7. The thread passes through the eye 5, and through the hole 'T which guides it to the fabric t), 'z'. c., to the cloth to be embroidered. The hole, 7 draws the thread from its last :fastening point to the next fastening' point, and the embroidery needles are thus enabled to fasten the applied thread by a double stitch which makes a loop over the applied thread. After the trst passage of the needle the cu'ibroiderer gives to the bar l a small movement either vertically or horizontally so that the needle holes are on both sides of the thread.

To allow of beginning the embroidery the lateral member b has the notch in which the loose end of the thread can be placed by hand. The thread held fast by this notch, can be fastened to the :fabric by a stitch when the embroidering commenced, and the loose end can be afterward cut o'tl' where the pattern begins.

l'n 'view of the lact that hitherto threads i could not be so applied, by means of an and l ments such as e for limiting its lateral movement. The bar l is movable by the attendant so as to take part in all theJ movements of the embroidering needle trames On the bar l are arranged spools Addior bars. 2 of the threads to be applied tional variety of pattern may be obtained by having threads of various kinds and colors on these spools. In front of each of the spools 2 there is a thread guide 3, which takes off the thread, through an eye. and passes it to the thread applying device or layer-on t, comprising a substantially vertical but rearwardly bent member a having at its lower end a hole 7 and at some disordinary machine, that they really lie upon the cloth, the very simple thread-guide provided for that purpose by the present invention constitutes an iniportant improvement in embroidering apparatus.

` lt 'will be understood that the various parts of the embroidering machine remain unaltered and it is therefore umiccessary to illustrate the machine.

that we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States iszl. In an embroidery machine the combination of a bar movable before the fabric to be embroidered, spools on said movable bar, and thread guides thereon having means for glliding the threads over the surface of .the said fabric.
