IMPROVEMENT IN EMBROIDERY-FRAMES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,342, dated February 29, 1876; application filed February 5, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST W. KARKER, of College Point, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Embroidery-Frame, of which the following .is a specification:

The invention consists of a couple of parallel rollers in a vibrating =-frame for holding and adjusting the canvas as the work progresses, the said roller-frame being pivoted to a stand, which supports parallel rods below the rollers, on which a work-box is fitted to slide along the frame from end to end for convenience of the operator. The roller-frame is pivoted to the stand by clamping-bolts and nuts, which hold the roller-frame at any required inclination.

The roller-frame may also be used for drawing maps and the like, and is adapted for being mounted on a stand, suitable for field use by engineers.

The rollers are in this example constructed in two parts longitudinally with points or teeth for attaching the canvas or paper which is to lie-clamped between them, and having rings for holding the two parts together.

Figure 1 is partly a plan view and partly a horizontal section of my improved embroidery-frame, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section, taken on line 00 w of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre spending parts.

A represents the two rollers on which the canvas or paper isstretched, said rollers being mounted in the end pieces B,and havingaratchet,O, and pawl, D, for holding them to stretch I bolts I and clamp-nuts J, by which the frame can be tilted and secured in any required position. The lower part of the stand has a couple of parallel rods, L, on which the work box N is mounted, so as to slide along the frame from end toend, as may suit the con Venience of the workman.-

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters'Patent 1. The rollers A, constructed as described, and provided with a ratchet, G, and pawl D, endpieces B, pivot-bolts I, nuts J, and the stand M, all combined and arranged substantially as specified.

2. The sliding work-box N and rods L, combined with the stand M and roller-frameA B, substantially as specfied.
