In order to mount the hat on the embroidery frame for a hat according to the first aspect of the present invention, the holding frame is turned to open with respect to the frame body, and the hat is arranged on the frame body. The holding frame is rotated toward the frame main body and locked by the locking means. With this, the hat is pressed into the detent state. In this manner, the cap can be mounted and held by a simple operation of merely rotating the holding frame and locking the locking means. In addition, since the holding frame is fixed to the frame body in a so-called both-ends supporting form by the rotation supporting portion and the locking means, the cap is firmly held compared to a configuration in which the holding frame is supported on one side. And can be fixed. In addition, since the frame body is made of synthetic resin, it is possible to reduce the weight, and since the frame body has a flat plate shape, the embroidery frame for a hat of the present invention can be applied to an embroidery machine such as a household sewing machine. It can be easily applied and has excellent practicality.

When attaching the eaves of the hat to the eaves holder, the eaves are often slid in the eaves holder holding direction on the frame body. However, in the invention of claim 6,
By rotating the presser frame to the open position where the locked portion is located downstream of the eaves portion presser in the eaves portion mounting direction, the locked portion is more in the eaves portion mounting direction than the eaves portion presser. Since it is located on the downstream side, it does not hinder the mounting of the eaves portion, and the mounting workability can be improved.

An embroidery frame for a hat according to the invention of claim 7 is characterized in that the holding frame is formed of a metal wire, and the left and right side line portions are continuous. According to this, since the holding frame can be formed from one metal wire, the manufacturing of the holding frame is easy, and since the leading ends of the left and right side line portions are continuous, the leading ends are separated. In the case of the above, two locking means are required correspondingly, but in the present invention configuration, it is possible to use only one locking means, which simplifies the configuration and the hat mounting. It can contribute more. Further, as described above, since the holding frame made of the metal wire is fixed to the both-ends supporting form by the rotation support portion and the locking means, unlike the configuration in which the holding frame is supported on one side, it is excessively large.

Further, the base frame portion 22a of the frame main body 22 is opposed to the upper surface of the frame main body 22 in a substantially parallel to the upper surface of the frame main body 22 so as to be in a bridge state. (Corresponding to) 32 is formed, and the eaves portion of a hat, which is an embroidery object, can be inserted between the eaves portion presser 32 and the upper surface of the frame body 22. Note that an index 33 for indicating the center position is provided on the upper surface of the eave portion presser 32.
Is attached.

An engaging member 34, which is an engaging member, is attached to the side of the right frame portion 22c of the frame main body 22. The engaging member 34 and its mounting structure will be described with reference to FIGS. Will be explained. The engaging member 34 is formed by stamping and drawing a metal plate. The engaging member 34 has a vertical plate portion 34a, and a substantially horizontal handpiece portion 35 is provided above the vertical plate portion 34a. A substantially horizontal mounting piece 36 extends downward. From the vertical plate portion 34a to the mounting piece portion 36, a so-called engaged portion 37 having a so-called daruma hole shape is provided.
Are formed. The mounting piece 36 has two female threads 38 (one is shown in FIG. 10). Further, a hole 39 is formed from the vertical plate portion 34a to the handpiece portion 35.

On the other hand, on the side of the right frame portion 22c of the frame body 22, two screw holes 40 are formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction.
An attachment step 41 is formed. This mounting step 41
Has a width enough to allow the attachment piece 35 to be attached to the portion including the screw hole 40, and the lower surface of the attachment piece 35 has a thickness t (see FIG. See above). Further, a mountain-shaped pressing convex portion 42 protruding outward is formed on the rotation support portion 24.

The engaging piece 34 has its mounting piece 36 addressed to the lower surface of the mounting step 41 (in this case, the pressing projection 42 slightly protrudes from the hole 39 of the engaging tool 34). The male screw 43 is attached to the frame main body 22 by screwing into the female screw portion 38 through the screw through hole portion 40. In this mounting state, as can be seen from FIG. 8, the male screw 43 is set to have a length such that its lower end does not protrude below the lower surface of the frame main body 22.

The engaging member 34 is connected to a connecting portion 46 of an embroidery driving unit 45 of a sewing machine 44 as an embroidery machine shown in FIGS. The connecting portion 46 is provided with an engaging projection 47 for engaging with the engaged portion 37 and a spring piece 48. In order to connect the engaging members 34, the engaged portions 37 are engaged with the engaging protrusions 47 of the connecting portion 46 from above. At this time, the pressing convex portion 42 presses the spring piece 48, and the engagement is held by the spring force.

Now, a case in which a hat 49 as an embroidery object is mounted on the embroidery frame 21 for a hat having the above structure will be described. FIG. 9 shows a mounting completion mode. First, the holding frame 27 is rotated to the open position Po with respect to the frame body 22.
In this open position Po, as shown in FIG.
Is on the downstream side in the mounting (sliding) direction (indicated by the arrow H) of the eave portion 49b from the eave portion presser 32. From this state, the main body 49a of the hat 49 is formed into a form that allows easy embroidery (for example, the rear part of the main body 49a is folded), and the upper surface or the upper part of the frame body 22 is slid in the direction of arrow H in FIG. The eave portion 49b is inserted and mounted between the eave portion presser 32 and the frame body 22.

In this case, since the locked portion 28 of the holding frame 27 is located on the downstream side in the mounting direction of the eave portion 49b than the eave portion presser 32, the locked portion 28 hinders the mounting of the eave portion 49b. Therefore, mounting workability can be improved.

Thereafter, the holding frame 27 is rotated in the direction of approaching the frame main body 22, that is, in the direction of pressing the cap 49, so as to be locked by the locking portion 26. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the pressing portions 3 of the left and right side line portions 27a and 27b of the pressing frame 27 are formed.

The hat 49 is pressed in the detent state. In this state,
As shown in FIG. 10, a seal-type adhesive core 50 is attached to the back surface of the frame body 22 and the back surface of the hat 49 facing the opening 23.

Thereafter, the engaging member 34 is connected to the connecting portion 46 of the embroidery driving unit 45 of the sewing machine 44 as shown in FIGS. That is, as described above, the engaged portion 37 of the engaging tool 34 is connected to the engaging projection 47 of the connecting portion 46.
From above. At this time, the pressing convex portion 42 presses the spring piece 48, and the engagement is held by the spring force. In this connected state, the embroidery driving unit 45 appropriately controls the X direction (the horizontal direction in FIG. 12) and the Y direction in accordance with the embroidery control program.
The hat 49 is operated in the direction (up and down direction in FIG. 12).
Is embroidered.

As described above, according to the hat embroidery frame 21 of the present embodiment, the holding frame 27 is rotated to
The cap 49 can be mounted and held by a simple operation of locking the cap 49. In addition, the holding frame 27 is
In contrast, the rotation support portions 24 and 25 and the locking portion 26 fix the cap 49 in a so-called two-sided support form, so that the cap 49 is firmly fixed compared to a configuration in which the holding frame is supported on one side. In addition to this, it is not necessary to make the holding frame 27 itself high in rigidity, and the wire diameter can be reduced. In addition, since the frame body 22 is made of synthetic resin, the weight can be reduced, and the frame body 22 has a flat plate shape. Therefore, the hat embroidery frame 21 in this embodiment is a household sewing machine as an embroidery machine (described above). And can be easily applied to the sewing machine 44), and is excellent in practicality.

Further, since the holding frame 27 is formed of a metal wire and the left and right side wire portions 27a and 27b are configured to be continuous, the holding frame 27 is formed of one metal wire. It can be formed, and the manufacturing of the holding frame 27 becomes easy.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the rotation support portion 2
4 and 25 are individually provided on the base end sides of the left and right frame portions 22b and 22c of the frame body 22, and the left and right side line portions 27a and 27b of the holding frame 27 are separated at the base end side. Since each base end is pivotally supported by each of the rotation support portions 24 and 25, the holding frame 27 presses the cap 49 in a form fixed to the frame main body 22 at three points. Unlike the case, the pressing force of the left and right side line portions 27a and 27b acts on the hat satisfactorily, and the hat can be more securely held.

Further, according to this embodiment, the frame body 22
Since the eave portion presser 32 which is in a bridge state is provided substantially in parallel with the upper surface of the frame body 22, the eaves portion 49 b of the hat 49 is inserted into the eaves portion presser 32 to hold the eaves portion 49 b from above and below. And the hat 49 can be more securely attached and held.

Further, the holding frame 27 is moved from the locking position Pk where the locked portion 28 is locked to the locking portion 26, and the locked portion 28 is located downstream of the eaves presser 32 in the mounting direction of the eaves 49b. The holding frame 27 is rotated to the open position Po so as to be able to rotate between the open position Po located on the side and the locked portion 2 when the eaves portion 49b is mounted.
8 does not hinder the mounting of the eaves portion 49b, and the mounting workability can be improved. Furthermore, on the periphery of the frame body 22,
Since the rib portion 22e protruding upward is formed, the rigidity of the frame main body 22 can be increased even though the frame main body has a flat plate shape made of synthetic resin. In addition, if it is sufficient to secure a necessary degree of rigidity, the thickness of the flat portion of the frame body 22 can be reduced, and the seam can be made clear.

FIG. 16 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an eaves holding member is provided.
(Corresponding to the eaves portion presser) 51 is different from the first embodiment. The eave part presser 51 is made of a metal wire rod, and one end and the other end thereof are pivotally supported.

On the other hand, on the upper surface of the frame main body 62, an auxiliary frame 89 is provided.
Are detachably mounted. That is,
An attachment 90 having a pair of hooks 90a is provided on the upper surface of the front end frame 62d of the frame main body 62. On the other hand, the auxiliary frame 89 is formed of a synthetic resin, and the left frame 89b and the right frame 89c extend on both sides of the intermediate frame 89a, and have a substantially U-shape as a whole. And
An intermediate frame 89a of the auxiliary frame 89 is provided with the mounting fixture 90.
A mounting portion 91 is formed so as to be detachably engaged with the mounting portion 91. The attached portion 91 has a notch portion 91a and a pair of guide portions 91b.

Although not shown, a metal wire (not shown) is fitted into the center of the auxiliary frame 89 to improve its strength.

In the hat embroidery frame 61 having the above-described structure, for example, in order to mount the hat 49 with the auxiliary frame 89 removed, the holding frame 76 and the eaves holding member 81 are rotated so as to open with respect to the frame body 62. In this state, the main body portion 49a of the hat 49 is made to correspond to the holding frame 76 and the eave portion 49 is formed.
b is arranged on the frame main body 62 so as to correspond to the eaves holding part 81, and the holding frame 76 is rotated in a direction approaching the frame main body 62 to be locked on the hook 79, and the eaves holding part 81 is moved to the eaves part. Press and rotate to 49b. As a result, the main body portion 49a and the eave portion 49b of the hat 49 are pressed into a state where they cannot be moved. In this manner, the cap 4 can be easily operated by simply rotating the holding frame 76 and locking the hook 79.

In general, the entire hat 49 can be securely attached and held.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the eaves portion presser 81 is provided so as to be rotatable and can be fixed at an arbitrary rotation angle position by providing the brake fixing mechanism 83. Unlike the case where the rotation is urged by the spring, the eaves portion 49b can be always and reliably pressed with an appropriate pressing force regardless of the thickness and the degree of curvature of the eaves portion 49b.

Here, when the hat 49 is mounted with the auxiliary frame 89 mounted thereon, the entirety of the hat 49 can be securely mounted and held as described above, but particularly when the cloth of the hat 49 is soft. It will be convenient. That is, the hat 49
Is relatively hard, when the cap 49 is pressed by the holding frame 76, the cap 49 itself has a strong fixed holding force in a pressed state, and the hat cloth shifts or loosens when embroidering with the sewing machine. There is very little to do. However, when the material of the hat 49 is relatively soft, the fixed holding force in the pressed state when the cap 49 is pressed by the holding frame 76 is relatively weak, and the hat cloth is displaced when embroidering with the sewing machine. There is concern that they may move or loosen.

However, in the above embodiment, the hat 49
In the case where the cloth is relatively soft, it is preferable to attach an auxiliary frame 89 to the frame main body 62, place a cap 49 on the frame main body 62, and press down with the holding frame 76. At this time, since the auxiliary frame 89 exists as a convex portion in the frame main body 62, when the pressing frame 76 presses the hat 49 near the auxiliary frame 89 which is the convex portion, the hat 49 is bent by the auxiliary frame 89. In this case, the hat cloth can be prevented from shifting or loosening during embroidering with the sewing machine.

Further, in the above embodiment, since one hook 79 as the locking means is provided, it is possible to further contribute to the simplification of the configuration and the simplification of the mounting of the hat. In other words, in the case of the configuration in which the distal ends are separated, two locking means are required correspondingly, but in the above embodiment, the distal ends of the left and right side line portions 76a and 76b of the holding frame 76 are continuous. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hook 7 serving as the locking means is used.
9 can be reduced to one, which can further contribute to simplification of the configuration and simplification of wearing of the hat. FIG.
As can be seen from the figure, the right frame 62b of the frame body 62 is
Since it is formed wider than 2c, it is easy to handle the hat 49 when the hat 49 is attached. In each of the above-described embodiments, the portion of the ribs 22e and 62e on the side opposite to the engaging tools 34 and 64 may be formed to be low. In this case, the mounting of the eaves 49b of the hat 49 is performed. Becomes easier.
