Application ied M'a-y'28,
V This invention relates to improvements in embroidery frames in generaland more particularly'to embroidery frames used in fac tories where largepieces of fabrics are to be embroidered. With the embroidery frames now in common use, a great deal of labor is required to stretch the material to be embroidered across such a frame, as it becomes necessary to catch the material on each pin projecting upwardly from a bar of wood and repeat this operation on all sides of the clothand finally stretch the material by pulling on the bars and clamp the adjacent bars to each other; the frame being supported on wooden horses or the likewhich require a great deal of space to store them when not in use. a
The main object of this invention is to provide an embroidery frame adapted to receive the fabric to be embroidered andbe clamped therein inthe minimum amount of time necessary for such operation. Another object of this invention is to provide an embroidery frame having legs hingedly and foldably mounted thereon to reduce the amount of space required for storing such frames when not in use.
A further object of the invention is to provide a frame of this nature with a series of projections upon'which the fabric to be embroidered can readily and quickly be hooked and then clamped and held against displacement.
Other objects and novel features of con struction will become apparent as the specification proceeds.
Referring to the drawings forming a part of this specification: I
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of one embodiment of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross section on line 2-2 Fig. 1 through one of the frame members.
Fig. 8 is a detail view of the plate containing the projections upon which the fabric is hooked.
Fig. 4 is a modified form of my invention as illustrated in Fig. 1 and.
Fig. 5 is a fragmental view in perspective of one of the frame members shown in Fig. 4:.
Referring to the drawings in detail Figs. 1 to 310 indicates an embroidery frame consisting of four substantially like jaw members 11, 12, 13 and 14. Each of the jaw members comprises an upper portion or leaf l5 and a lower leaf member 16 joined by 1926. Serial m. 112L230.
In Figs. 4: and 5 I have shown a' modified form of my invention in which I employ spring metal jaw members 35 and 36 provided with teeth 37 in a lower flange 38 and depressions 39 in an upper flange 40 integral with and extending the entire length ofthe said jaw members. The jaw members are maintained in closedposition by locking .sleeves 40 or the like slipped on either end of the said jaws. Rows of openings ll passing throughthe upper and lower walls 42 and 43 of the jaw members 35 and 36 provide means for inserting pins or studs 44 for joining the said jaw members together instead of the clamps 33 shown in Fig. 1 and for the same purpose. The jaw members 36 are provided with legs 45 terminating in supporting ends 46 adapted to be contracted by collars or sleeves 47 whenit is desired to fold the said legs about their pivots 48 when not in use. Flexible links 49 secured to the legs 45 pass.- ing through openings 50 in the walls 43 of the jaw members 36 tend to maintain the frame in open position when it is so desired.
In the construction just described the material or fabric 30 to be embroidered is placed upon theteeth 37 of one of the jaw members which is then closed and the sleeves 4O slipped over upon its ends to maintain same in closed position. After the material is thus enclosed on all four sides a pin or stud 44 is inserted into the openings 41 at one corneriof crossed over jaw members and the cloth is stretched as previouslydescribed and pins inserted at the remaining corners.
From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided an embroidery frame in which a cloth or the like may be stretched in the minimum length of time required 1. In an embroidery frame, a resilient jaw member, a lower leaf on the jaw member, teeth integral with the said leaf, an upper leaf member, a housing bent up on the upper leaf member forming a groove and a slidable sleeve on each end of the leaf members to position. 7 a v 2. An embroidery frame, comprising a plurality of jaw members adapted to be opened and closed and provided with rows of openings, means for maintaining material in the jaw members and pins adapted to pass through the said openings to ad justably connect the said jaw members when the material. is fully'stretched.
maintain the jaw in closed In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my 7 signature. 7
