Description

  The present invention is a print embroidery holding frame that holds a state in which a workpiece such as a cloth is stretched. For example, a printing process is performed on a workpiece while holding the same workpiece. The present invention relates to a print embroidery holding frame which can be attached to both a print stand for printing and an automatic embroidery machine for performing embroidery on a workpiece.

  There are a wide variety of printed and embroidery products, and combinations of these are also known. When creating a product that combines print and embroidery, print a pattern on the fabric (workpiece) on the print stand and then embroidery the pattern on the fabric with an automatic embroidery machine. I am doing so. As prints, for example, prints made by hand print using a silk screen plate are known. This print includes a member called a print table that can stretch and hold a silk screen plate and a workpiece such as a T-shirt. A silk screen plate made on the basis of image data is printed on the printing table holding the workpiece by hand printing, thereby printing the workpiece.

  On the other hand, the automatic embroidery machine includes a sewing head having a sewing needle that is driven back and forth up and down, and a frame moving mechanism that moves the embroidery frame in the X and Y directions. A frame and an inner frame are configured, and a fabric (workpiece) is sandwiched and held between the inner peripheral surface of the outer frame and the outer peripheral surface of the inner frame. Set the embroidery frame that stretches and holds this fabric (workpiece) on the frame moving mechanism, move the embroidery frame in the X and Y directions, and move the sewing needle of the sewing head up and down to the fabric (workpiece). The embroidery pattern is processed.

  In this way, in typical prior art, when printing a workpiece, the workpiece is stretched and held on the print stand, while the workpiece is embroidered by an automatic embroidery machine. Is applied to the embroidery frame of the embroidery sewing machine, and it is necessary to peel off the work piece from the print stand and then hold it between the embroidery frame. Therefore, it takes time and labor, and it is difficult to align the printed design and the embroidery design. For this reason, it has been considered that the embroidery frame can be mounted on the print table, and the workpiece is attached to the print table and the automatic embroidery machine while being held on the embroidery frame. However, in general, the embroidery frame sandwiches the workpiece between the inner peripheral surface of the outer frame and the outer peripheral surface of the inner frame, and the workpiece is stretched at substantially the same height as the lower surfaces of the outer frame and the inner frame. The If this embroidery frame is installed on the printing stand as it is, the silk screen plate can be placed only in a range (a limited range near the center) that does not interfere with the inner frame directly above the workpiece. However, in this case, the pattern representation on the silk screen plate has a large horizontal width and vertical width, so the size of the silk screen plate is limited, and the printable range is greatly reduced. A print embroidery frame that solves such a problem is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.

  The print embroidery frame disclosed in Patent Document 1 holds a workpiece by an outer frame and an inner frame as in the prior art at the time of embroidery processing, and expands the printed frame to approximately the same height as the outer frame and the lower surface of the inner frame. In some cases, the auxiliary frame is pushed into the inner periphery of the inner frame from below so as to extend to substantially the same height as the upper surfaces of the outer and inner frames. If this is the case, the work piece is stretched to approximately the same height as the upper surface of the outer frame and the inner frame at the time of printing, and the printing plate does not interfere with the inner frame, so that the print processing range does not decrease. .

JP 2005-36330 A

  By the way, in many products that combine print processing and embroidery processing, embroidery processing is performed after printing processing, and the embroidery processing is superimposed on a part of the printed pattern. In the print embroidery frame of Patent Document 1, the work piece is first stretched and held by the outer frame and the inner frame. Then, when performing the printing process first, the auxiliary frame is pushed into the inner periphery of the inner frame from below, and the workpiece is expanded to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer frame and the inner frame. The print embroidery frame in this state is set on the print stand and printed on the workpiece. When the printing process is completed, the print embroidery frame is removed from the print stand, and the auxiliary frame is removed from the print embroidery frame so that the workpiece is stretched to substantially the same height as the lower surface of the outer frame and the inner frame. The print embroidery frame in this state is set on an automatic embroidery machine and embroidery is performed on a workpiece.

  In the print embroidery frame of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the auxiliary frame is pushed into the inner periphery of the inner frame when performing the printing process, so that the degree of expansion of the workpiece increases during the printing process. For this reason, when the auxiliary frame is subsequently removed and embroidery processing is performed, the degree of expansion and slackening of the work piece will occur. As a result, the quality of the embroidery process is reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a workpiece for both processing of printing and embroidery without changing the stretched state of the workpiece in the print embroidery holding frame. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printed embroidery holding frame for a workpiece having an improved structure.

  The print embroidery holding frame according to the present invention is composed of an embroidery holding frame and a print holding frame so that the workpiece can be provided for both printing and embroidery processing. Consists of a frame and a print inner plate, the print outer frame and the print inner plate have the same height, the print inner plate can be placed inside the print outer frame, and the embroidery holding frame overlaps the print outer frame Thus, the workpiece can be stretched and held between the print outer frame and the outer frame.

  A print embroidery holding frame for a work piece according to the present invention provides a print embroidery hold for a work piece that holds the work piece so that the work piece can be provided for both printing and embroidery processes. This is a frame that is almost the same height as the top surface of the print outer frame / print inner plate just by placing the print outer frame and print inner plate on the print stand. After applying the glue, the sheet-like workpiece is stretched and held. As a result, the silk screen plate can be printed without any obstacles, and when embroidering is performed, the embroidery holding frame (upper frame) is layered on the outer frame of the print to maintain the degree of expansion while maintaining strength against shrinkage. It is configured so that it can be set on an automatic embroidery machine in the same way as an embroidery frame, and the work piece can be printed and embroidered without changing this stretched state. It is characterized by providing.

  According to the present invention, the print outer frame / print inner plate and the embroidery holding frame are separated and combined. Therefore, the printing process can be performed in the same manner as the conventional printing process, and the embroidery process can be performed in the same manner as the conventional embroidery process. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide the workpiece for both printing and embroidery processing without changing the stretched state of the workpiece in the print outer frame and the embroidery holding frame. become able to do. Further, there is no problem that the quality of the embroidery process is deteriorated due to the change in the degree of spreading. In addition, if there are a plurality of print outer frames and print inner plates, it is possible to maintain or store the prints in a state where printing is completed, and a large number of prints can be processed, leading to cost performance.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The print embroidery holding frame 1 of FIG. 1 according to the present invention is constituted by a combination of an embroidery holding frame 2, a print outer frame 3, and a print inner plate 4. The print outer frame 3 is a thin plate having a height of about 5 mm, and the embroidery holding frame 2 is made of a thin plate having a height of about 7 mm, and has four rectangles: left and right frame sides 2D and 2D and front and rear frame sides 2C and 2C. It is formed by the joining component 2E. Before and after the left and right frame sides 2D, ribs 2A bent downward are attached to four locations. As an example, the height 2H of the rib is 12 mm. This is because, when the print embroidery holding frame 1 is in the state, the lower surface of the print outer frame 3 and the lower surface 21 of the rib are set to have substantially the same height, and are set to the frame drive unit 8A of the embroidery machine 8 without any trouble. Attachments 2B are attached to the outside of the left and right frame sides 2D. This attachment 2B is for attaching the print embroidery holding frame 1 to the frame drive unit 8A of the embroidery sewing machine 8.

  This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c). The print outer frame 3 is composed of a thin plate that is formed by punching a plate having a height of about 5 mm. The upper surface 3A of the print outer frame is coated with base paste to hold the workpiece 7 on the ground (spread), and the upper surface 3A of the print outer frame is held with adhesive force. The inner side 3C of the printed outer frame 3 is wound up, and the inner plate that is wound up is the printed inner plate 4. A state in which the print outer frame 3 and the print inner plate 4 are overlapped to have substantially the same height is referred to as a print holding frame 3D. When printing is performed, the print inner plate 4 and the print outer frame 3 are superimposed on the print table 5 to form the print holding frame 3D, and then the print processing is performed. Since the upper surface of the print holding frame 3D is a uniform flat surface, it will be superposed on the lower side of the printing surface 6D of the silk screen plate with almost no height, so the printing process will be clean. Can be applied.

  The print stand 5 will be described with respect to the conventional printing method. The print table 5 includes a printed board 5A, a print rail 5B, and a print point 5C. A base paste is applied to the upper surface of the printed board 5 </ b> A, and has an adhesive force for stretching and holding the workpiece 7. FIG. 8 shows a process before the workpiece 7 is stretched and held on the printed board 5A. Further, FIG. 9 shows a state in which the workpiece 7 is stretched and held on the printed board 5A. If the printing stand 5 has adhesive strength, even if it is printed multiple times with the silk screen plate 6, the printed pattern can be expressed neatly without pattern blurring. FIG. 10A shows a state in which the silk screen 6 is placed on the workpiece 7 stretched and held on the print table 5 and printing is performed. FIG. 10B shows a state in which the print table 5, the workpiece 7 and the silk screen plate 6 overlap each other. FIG. 11 shows a state in which the workpiece 7 is printed and the printed pattern 10 is expressed on the workpiece 7. The front side 5D of the print rail is installed in parallel with the rear side of the printed board 5A, and is configured so as not to be tilted or displaced left and right. The print point 5C is formed of circular hard silicon, and can be moved left and right by being placed on the print rail 5B. The reason why the print point 5C is moved left and right is to overlap the center 6E of the silk screen plate and the center 5E of the printed board. The silk screen plate 6 is produced by determining the size of the silk screen frame 6A according to the size of the printed design. The print points 5C can be moved left and right. Thereby, the left and right center line of the printing process is maintained. FIG. 10B shows a state in which the print table 5, the workpiece 7 and the silk screen plate 6 are overlaid.

  The silk screen plate 6 will be described. The silk screen plate 6 includes a silk screen frame 6A, a silk screen point 6C, and a silk screen printing surface 6D. The printed design 10 is drawn on the silk screen printing surface 6D so as to match the left and right center line 6E of the silk screen plate. This is called the printed pattern 6B cut out on the silk screen plate, and the left and right center line of the printed pattern 6B cut out on the silk screen plate is superimposed on the imaginary left and right center line 7B of the work piece. Is going to fall out. The silk screen point 6C has a structure that can be set on the left side of the rear side of the silk screen frame 6A. The right side surface of the silk screen point 6C is placed on the left side surface of the print point 5C, the left and right center line 5E of the printed board, The left and right center line 6E of the screen plate is a necessary part for superimposing, and printing can be performed while holding the left and right center line 6E of the silk screen plate.

  The workpiece 7 in FIG. 6 will be described. The printed embroidery holding frame 1 can be extended and held on the front and back of the T-shirt, semi-finished products such as sleeves, and the finished T-shirt. There are a wide variety of print and embroidery products, but most of the print and embroidery products are applied to semi-finished products around the front of T-shirts. This time, the workpiece was a semi-finished product around the front of the T-shirt. Hereinafter, the front body of the T-shirt is referred to as a workpiece 7. The workpiece 7 has a cut (notch) 7A in which the left and right center line can be discriminated, and the workpiece 7 is cut along the contour of the workpiece 7 including the cut 7A. An aerial left and right center line 7B of the workpiece can be determined by the front and rear cuts 7A. This makes it possible to overlay the work piece's aerial left and right center line 7B on the left and right center line 5E of the printed board, so that the work piece 7 can be accurately stretched and held without shifting left and right.

Next, a procedure for performing embroidery from print processing without pattern blur using the print embroidery holding frame 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
(1) First, the left and right center line 3B of the print outer frame 3 is superimposed on the left and right center line 5E of the printed board, and the rear side of the print outer frame 3 is placed so as to match the upper side 5D of the print rail. Set the print inner plate 4 in the inner side 3C and set it as the print holding frame 3D. Figure 12 shows the state.
(2) The cut 7A of the workpiece 7 is placed on the left and right center line 5E of the printed board from above, and the lower surface of the workpiece 7 is stretched and held on the upper surface 3A of the outer frame of the print. This state is shown in FIG.
(3) A state in which the right side surface of the point 6C of the silk screen plate 6 of the silk screen plate 6 is applied to the left side surface of the print point 5C and the rear side of the silk screen plate 6 is aligned with the front side 5D of the print rail and is stretched and held. A silk screen plate 6 is placed on the workpiece 7. At this point, the print base 5, the silk screen plate 6, the print outer frame 3, and the print inner plate 4 are parallel to each other, and the left and right center line 5E of the print board, the left and right center line 3B of the print outer frame, and the left and right center of the print inner plate The line 4A, the imaginary left and right center line 7B of the workpiece, and the left and right center line 6E of the silk screen plate overlap, and the parallelism is maintained. This state is shown in Fig. 14 (a), and Fig. 14b explains how each layer overlaps.
(4) When the color paste to be printed is put on the printing surface 6D of the silk screen plate 6 and printed, the color paste is placed under the silk screen plate 6 from the printed pattern 6B extracted from the silk screen plate. The printed pattern 10 is printed on the surface of the workpiece 7 and printed. FIG. 15 shows this state.
(5) Align the rear side of the embroidery holding frame 2 with the front side 5D of the print rail, and align the four ribs 2A with the left and right sides of the print outer frame 3 and set it on the state shown in FIG. Then, attach the clips 2G at the four locations, and put them together with the outer print frame 3, workpiece 7 and embroidery holding frame 2, and combine them. This state is superior to the state in which the work piece 7 in FIG. 13 is stretched and held. This state is shown in Fig. 16 (a). FIG. 16B is a diagram for explaining a process in which the print table 5, the print holding frame 3D, the workpiece 7 and the embroidery holding frame 2 overlap.
(6) Remove the print embroidery holding frame 1 that sandwiches the workpiece 7 that has been subjected to print processing from the print base 5. This state is shown in FIG. A perspective view of the removed print embroidery holding frame 1 is shown in FIG. The printed board 5A is left in a state where the printed inner board 4 is set, and a plurality of other print outer frames 3 are set again, and the processing can proceed again as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14. is. As a result, the workpiece 7 can be processed in multiple or large numbers. Separately, if you make a mistake in printing, or if you want to add a printed pattern, or if you want to add advanced processing such as foil printing or flocky printing after embroidery processing, remove the rear edge of Figure 18 once removed. If the embroidery holding frame 2 is removed by setting it to the print stand 5 according to the upper side 5D of the print rail, the pattern can be restored to the state shown in Fig. 15 without misalignment, and mistakes can be repaired or printed again.
(7) Next, embroidery is applied as shown in Fig. 18. FIG. 19 illustrates the process of setting the print embroidery holding frame 1 on the embroidery sewing machine 8 that can perform embroidery processing. Set two attachments 2B on the embroidery holding frame 2 to the frame drive unit 8A of the embroidery machine 8. Since the frame drive unit 8A is provided with a frame moving mechanism that moves FIG. 18 in the X and Y directions, the first one of the embroidery processing is a frame drive to match the embroidery pattern with the printed pattern 10 of FIG. Move and set the part 8A in the X and Y directions and start the embroidery machine 8. This is shown in the perspective view of FIG. The state in which the workpiece 7 is stretched and held on the print embroidery holding frame 1 is a strong stretch holding, so it is possible to express not only jacquard embroidery but also various embroidery patterns on the printed design. For example, sequin embroidery (sequin embroidery), code embroidery (ribbon tape or string embroidery), applique embroidery and sagara embroidery can be expressed.

  According to the present embodiment, by using a plurality of print outer frames 3, multi-color printing with long processing time and special print processing with a three-dimensional effect are possible, and various conventional printing techniques can be applied. Further, the printing process and the embroidery process can be shared, and each process can be efficiently performed with high quality even when the work time for one of the printing process and the embroidery process is different.

  According to the present embodiment, this print embroidery holding frame 3D can be produced for various embroidery machines 8 so that the size of the print embroidery holding frame 3D can be changed and set in the frame driving unit 8A. And it has the feature that it can be used even when the embroidery machine manufacturers and embroidery machine types are different.

  According to the present embodiment, when the print holding frame 3D is set on the printing stand 5 during printing, the upper surface 3A of the print holding frame and the back surface of the silk screen plate are substantially the same height. Various printing techniques such as printing, firing printing, and lame printing are possible, and even if the print pattern is very delicate, it can be printed neatly, and the pattern size can be increased or decreased Is possible.

  According to the present embodiment, when switching from print processing to embroidery processing or from embroidery processing to print processing, the work piece 7 is maintained in the state of being stretched and held on the print embroidery holding frame 1. High-quality processing can be performed without causing a pattern / position shift between the embroidery processing.

  The present invention is a print embroidery holding frame 1 capable of performing a print embroidery process on a bag such as a T-shirt or a bag as a finished product in addition to the workpiece 7. The procedure for performing the processing is almost the same as the procedure described in the paragraph number 0018) described above. Only when the printing is performed, the work piece is not placed on the print holding frame 3D, but the print outer frame 3 and It is only necessary to cover the printed board 5A with a finished T-shirt or bag and stretch it. Thereby, it is possible to process a workpiece such as a semi-finished product or a finished product.

  When the print embroidery holding frame 1 is set on the embroidery sewing machine 8 for embroidery processing, the lower surface 9 of the workpiece in FIG. 18 is made to substantially coincide with the upper surface height position of the needle plate 8B of the embroidery sewing machine 8. is needed. For this purpose, the height position 3 mm of the attachment 2B + the height position 7 mm of the left and right frame sides 2D of the print outer frame 3 is set so that the lower surface 9 of the workpiece substantially coincides with the upper surface height position of the needle plate 8B. In total, it is solved by setting it to 10mm.

  The print inner plate 4 is configured to fit inside the inner side 3C of the print outer frame 3, but the shape of the print inner plate 4 is not limited to this. The size of the board 4 may be reduced, and a gap may be left. Preferably, the inner board 4 should fit into the inner side 3C of the print outer frame 3, which is the size of the printed pattern 10. Because it can be used to the fullest.

  The rib 2A is bent downward, but the shape of the rib 2A is not limited to this as long as the embroidery holding frame 2 can be positioned on the print outer frame 3. For example, the embroidery holding frame As long as ribs projecting downward are attached to the outer surfaces of the two left and right frame sides 2D, the shape of the ribs may be a bar shape having an L-shaped section or a single plate shape.

  The rib 2A is configured so that the embroidery holding frame 2 can be positioned on the print outer frame 3. However, the rib 2A is not necessarily required, for example, the left and right center line 2F of the embroidery holding frame and the left and right sides of the print outer frame. Using the points fixed at the center line 3B or fixed outside the left and right frame sides of the print outer frame 3, the outside of the left and right frame sides 2D of the embroidery holding frame 2 and the left and right frame sides of the print outer frame 3 The outer embroidery holding frame 2 should preferably be provided with ribs 2A because the positioning of the embroidery holding frame 2 and the print outer frame 3 is the fastest.
