FABRIC-FRAME FOR EMBROIDERY-MACHINES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented aug. se, mie.

Application led December 23, 1914. Serial No. 878,690.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD IIAMMERLY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Union Course, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved FabricFrame for Fmibroidery-Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a frame for holding the goods onembroidery machines in position to be worked, the construction being such that the frame may be conveniently attached to the machine, and pieces of the goods which are to be embroidered, may be quickly attached to the frame, and after the embroidery has been finished, may be quickly removed therefrom. As the frame is constructed, a number of pieces may be worked at the same time.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specication in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the views in which- Figure 1 is a view showing a portion of the frame and its supports; Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 8 is a fragmentary view showing the construction of the frame on a larger scale; Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line /l-et of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing one of the splints.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that two bars 5 are provided, each of these bars having a plurality of recesses G spaced apart. Channeled members 7 extend from one of the bars 5 to the other and the ends 8 of the channeled members 7 are disposed in the recesses 6. The ends of two channeled members 7 are disposed in each recess in each of the bars 5, and the channeled member 7 is connected with the channeled member 7 having its ends S disposed in adjacent recesses 6 by means of the channeled members 9. The channeled members 9 are secured to the channeled members 7 in the following manner: The inner sides of the channeled members 7 are cut at 10 and 11 and that portion 12 of the channeled member 7 between the said cuts l0 and 11 is bent flat and in the direction of the companion channeled member 7. The channeled members 9 are cut at 13 adjacent their ends with the portions Ll between the cuts 13 and the ends bent into engagement with the portions 12 of the channeled members 7, the portions l2 and 1l being soldered together'. The edges of the channeled members 7 and 9 are turned over to form a bead, and this portion is bent straight, so that the

Vportions

12 and 14 will extend as shown in the drawings, any surplus material being cut away.

The bars 5 are bound with metal 15, and the ends 8 of the channeled members 7 are soldered to this metal 15 at 1G, as shown in Fig. t of the drawings, metal strips 17 being disposed over the ends 8 of the channeled members 7 as an additional means for holding them in place. The meta-l 15, with which the bars 5 are bound, and the strips 17 arc held in position by screws 1S. The channeled members 7 and 9 form a plurality of rectangular frames for supporting the goods to be embroidered, the goods being disposed over the channeled portions of the members 7 and 9, and splints 19 being disposed over the goods at the channels and being pressed into the channels so that the edges of the goods will be held in the channels by the splints 19. One of the bars 5 is engaged by cleats 20 on bars 21, the bars 21 also being provided with clamps 22 for engaging the other bar 5 so that the bars 5, carrying the plurality of rectangular frames, may be secured to the bars 21, these bars 21 having orifices, 23, through which bolts are disposed for securing the bars 2l to strips 241 which are held in position by .the fabric 25 secured to the rolls 2G. The

clamps 22 having slots 27 through which bolts 28 are disposed, wing nuts 29 meshing with the bolts 28 so that when the wing nuts are turned home against the clamps 22, the clamps will be held in position relatively to the bars 21.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a fabric frame for embroidery machines, two bars, two rollers, members secured to the bars and adapted to be wound on the rollers, athird bar disposed at an angle to the first bars and secured thereto, a fourth bar disposed substantially parallel with the said third bar and adjustable relatively to the first two bars, means for securing the fourth bar to the first two mentioned bars in adjusted position, and frames disposed between and secured to the third and fourth bars, for the purpose specified.

2. In a fabric frame for embroidery machines, two parallel bars spaced apart, two bars spaced apart connecting the iirst bars and secured to the latter, a plurality of frames disposed within the bars and secured to the second mentioned bars, two rollers and supporting means wound on the rollers and secured to the first mentioned bars for the purpose specied.

3. In a fabric frame for embroidery machines, two bars spaced apart, each of the bars having a series of recesses, a plurality of channel members connecting the bars with their terminals secured in the recesses, additional channeled members secured to and connecting pairs of the first channeled members, supporting means connected with the bars, and rollers spaced apart on which the supporting means are wound.

il. In a fabric frame for embroidery machines, two channeled members spaced apart, each of the channeled members having its sides nearest the other channeled member, cut at two places spaced apart, the sides of the members between the cuts being bent in the direction of each other, and an additional channeled member having its ends disposed in the cuts of the first channeled member and with its sides adjacent its ends cut, bent over and secured to the bent sides of the first channeled members between the cuts.

In testimony whereof I have signed my i Copies of this patent may 'be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. C.
