Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an embroidery frame more specially - although not exclusively - suitable for precise and rapid positioning of an article on the plate of an automatic or electronic embroidery machine.
  • the frames currently used for setting up and maintaining an article on the plate of an embroidery machine consist essentially of two complementary elements: a first element, whose perimeter is fixed, intended to come s '' fit into a second element, the perimeter of which can be varied and then fixed, generally by means of screws or pliers so as to enclose between these two elements the article to be embroidered, as well as a support (paper or non-woven) generally necessary when the material constituting the article is a light fabric or mesh (cf. for example GB-A-25 232).
  • Frames of this type whether they are circular, ellipsoidal, square or rectangular frames with rounded interior edges, nevertheless have several drawbacks; in fact, due to the irregular tensions caused by the simultaneous tightening between the two elements of the support (non-woven or paper) and of the article to be embroidered, there is often a shearing of this article, which can harm both its solidity and 'to its external appearance. On the other hand, the installation of these frames on the machine is a long operation which immobilizes the work plan.
  • the setting up of the frames on the support plate is often difficult since it involves fixing a frame whose external part is adjustable in a rigid element of fixed shape.
  • Another way of presenting items on an embroidery machine is to place them on a large frame covering the entire work surface of the machine; in the aforementioned case of light fabrics or mesh articles, it is first of all necessary to ensure the fixing of the non-woven support on this frame; it is difficult, given the dimensions of the latter, to provide the nonwoven with regular tension; the placement of the articles to be embroidered, directly on this support also constitutes a long operation immobilizing each time the work plan of the machine.
  • the present invention has set itself the aim of overcoming these drawbacks by proposing new embroidery frames allowing on the one hand to apply to the embroidery support possibly used (non-woven or paper) a uniform and regular tension while avoiding subject the article to be embroidered (fabric or mesh) to a harmful action of shearing and on the other hand to ensure a very easy and rapid installation, outside the machine, both of the article to be embroidered and of the support embroidery in the frame as said frame on the work plan of the machine thus significantly reducing the downtime of this work plan.
  • the invention relates to an embroidery frame intended in particular for automatic or electronic machines, the originality of which consists of the assembly of three complementary concentric polygonal elements, fitting into one another. one inside the other, made of a synthetic material, resistant, light, and elastic without permanent deformation, a first external element and a second intermediate intended to ensure the positioning on the machine and to allow fixing, under regular tension , of the embroidery support, being assembled by force clipping and the third, central element, intended to secure the item to be embroidered being assembled by clipping with a slight axial clearance on the assembly constituted by the assembly of the two first elements.
  • the frame comprises a first female external element of substantially rectangular cross section, at least some of the internal faces of which are curved concave and having, in cross section, an angular profile the apex of which is directed towards the center, thus defining an internal edge, a second male-female intermediate element, of cross section in angle iron, the tubular wing of which has an external face of profile substantially complementary to that of the internal face of the external female element , whose dimensions allow it to be forcibly engaged and elastically retained inside said external element, and whose internal face has a profile substantially similar to that of the internal face of the first external female element, and a third central element male, of shape and section substantially similar to that of the intermediate element and the tubular wing of which ire, however slightly longer than the second element to provide an axial clearance capable of accommodating the periphery of the article to be embroidered, is capable of being engaged in force and resiliently retained with said intermediate element.
  • Clearances in the form of frustoconical segments are advantageously provided at each interior angle of the polygon constituting the first female element.
  • 1 designates the first external element, 2 the intermediate element, 3 the internal or central element, 4 the article to be embroidered and 5 the embroidery support.
  • the embroidery frame according to the invention consists of a set of three concentric complementary polygonal elements 1, 2 and 3 made of a resistant synthetic material, light and having good properties of elasticity, without permanent deformation, such as, for example, polycarbonate.
  • the first female external element 1 has a substantially rectangular cross section 6; its internal faces 7 are curved concave; they have, in cross section, an angular profile, the apex of which is directed towards the center and defines an internal edge 8. Clearances 9, in the form of frustoconical segments, are provided at each internal angle of the quadrilateral constituting the external element 1.
  • the second intermediate element male-female 2
  • has an angle section; its tubular wing 10 has an external face of profile substantially complementary to that of the internal face of the female external element 1; the internal face of the intermediate element 2 has a profile similar to that of the internal face of the female external element 1.
  • the dimensions of the male-female element 2 allow it to be engaged in force and retained elastically inside the female element 1; the substantially rectangular cross section 6 of this element 1 communicating to it on the other hand a certain rigidity.
  • the third male central element 3 is of shape and section substantially similar to that of the second male-female element 2; its tubular wing 11 is capable of being engaged in force and retained elastically inside the intermediate element 2.
  • the length of the segment 11a of the tubular wing 11 of the central element 3 is however slightly greater than that of the segment 10a of the tubular wing 10 of the intermediate element 2 thus providing an axial clearance capable of accommodating the periphery of the item to embroider.
  • the tubular wings of the male-female element 2 and of the central element 3 also have a concave profile which is accentuated with respect to that of the internal edge of the external element 1 in view of providing, between the intermediate element 2 and each of the central 3 and external 1 elements, a radial clearance capable of facilitating the distribution of the tensions of the embroidery support (non-woven sheet) 5 and of the article to be embroidered 4.
  • Gripping tabs 12 and 13 are provided at one of the external angles of the intermediate 2 and central 3 elements.
  • the operator places, in a first step, on the element 1, a nonwoven sheet 5, of dimensions greater than those of said external element 1; it then has above the sheet 5 the second intermediate element 2 and forcibly engages it in the external element 1; the nonwoven is then perfectly fixed between the two elements and the presence of the recesses 9 formed at each interior angle of the exterior element 1 ensures good distribution of the tension imparted to it.
  • tubular wing 11 has on its outer face, at each corner of the central element 3 a frustoconical recess 14 which also promotes, especially in the case where the article to be embroidered is relatively thick, a good distribution of the tensions which are imparted to it during the placement of said central element 3.
  • the article to be embroidered 4 is then placed on the assembly constituted by the external element 1, the support 5 and the intermediate element 2, then there is above the article 4 the third central element 3 which the force is engaged in the intermediate element 2.
  • the article to be embroidered is perfectly set in place and no longer risks being subjected to a harmful shearing action on its edges; in fact, the positioning is no longer ensured in this case by clipping between a relatively thick external element, and an intermediate element as was the case for the embroidery support, but indeed by clipping between two thin elements 2 and 3, between which an axial clearance has been provided as described above.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the frame mounted, once the support 5 and article 4 in place. All these operations are of course done outside the machine; it is thus possible to store a relatively large number of ready-to-use frames, which it will suffice to position when the time comes under the heads of the embroidery machine.
  • a large plate 15 (FIG. 7) can also be provided, with dimensions substantially equal to those of the work surface of the machine and in which recesses 16 are provided in a number corresponding to the number of heads of the machine, of profile complementary to that of the external face of the external element 1 and allowing rapid fixing by clipping of the equipped frame of the support 5 and of the article to be embroidered 4.
  • the frame can be used for the establishment and fixing of the only article to be embroidered 4 if the thickness and the holding thereof do not require the presence of the support 5.
  • the set of exterior 1 and intermediate 2 elements is then only used for positioning on the work surface of the machine.
  • the present invention is not limited to the single embodiment described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants thereof, whatever in particular the nature of the elastic synthetic material without permanent deformation, the number of sides of the concentric polygonal elements.
