4 Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in hose embroidering machines wherein hollow frames are employed to hold a seamless hose while it is being embroidered and adapted to permit its being embroidered on two opposite sides without the hose being removed from the frame.

One obj ect of the present invention is the provision of a frame of this character which will be simple and cheap to manufacture and which will facilitate the arranging of the hose on the frame or the removal of hose and frame from about the shuttle.

One of the features of the invention resides in the provision of a generally foot shaped hollow f frame having a bifurcated toe portion to provide a clothes pin like clip arranged to receive the toe of the hose in order to expedite the tensioning of the hose on the frame.

Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of a groove along the back edge of the frame to receive the seam of the hose to facilitate the proper symmetrical placing of the hose on the frame.

It is thought the furthe-r .disclosure of the invention will be understood most readily from a detailed description thereof taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side View of the hose frame with its detachable base in spaced relation thereto.

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the parts shown in Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawing in which like reference characters indicate the same parts in the several views,A Il! indicates the pattern beam which is moved by well known means under control of the pattern designating device to produce the desired pattern on the hose or other article which is being embroidered. Secured to the beam or bar Ill by means of screws Il is the base I2 to which the hose frame I3 is adapted to be attached by a slip or quick detachable connection. The base I 2 is provided with a pair of hollow bosses Ill adapted to slidingly receive the lugs or pins I5 which extend from the frame I3. The hose to be embroidered is placed in symmetrical posi- 'tion about the frame I3.

To permit the hoseto be readily secured in stretched relation on the frame I3, a band I6 is provided having thereon a plurality of securing lugs Il to which the hose may be secured by clips resembling the ordinary garter clips. In order to permit the ready tensioning of the hose at the toe end the toe end of the frame I3 is bifurcated as shown most clearly in Fig. 2 and in order to tighten the hose on the frame the toe thereof is drawn outwards until the hose is properly tensioned whereupon the said hose toe is given a turn and the material thereof is drawn between the fingers I8 at the bifurcated end of the form which act somewhat in the manner of a clothes pin to hold the hose securely in position. This arrangement not only permits the hose to be applied to the frame more quickly but acts to hold the hose more securely in position as well.

In order that the clocks or embroidery may appear similarly placed on the opposite sides of the hose it is necessary that the hose be placed on the frame I3 in a symmetrical manner. To assist the operator in thus positioning the hose the frame I3 is provided in the rear edge thereof with the groove I9 adapted to receive the seam in the back of the hose. In positioning the hose the operator will turn it on the form until it occupies generally the correct position. The operator will now run her ngers down along the rear surface of the hose and form whereupon-it will be found that the seam will almost automatically iind its way into groove I9 to properly place the hose, thus saving much time and rendering the symmetrical positioning of the clocks on the hose much more certain.

It will be understood that in accordance with well known practice a series of the frames I3 will be carried by a'pattern beam or bar lil. In order to produce the pattern on the articles being embroidered the bar I0 and all the frames I3 thereon are moved slightly between each stitch and the next so as to form the pattern of the clock being embroidered. It is thought to be unnecessary to describe this operation in detail as it is well known to those skilled in the art.

As it is obviousl that many modifications may be made in certain details of the invention herein disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention it is to be understood that the invention should be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. In an embroidering machine, a pattern bar, a hollow frame of substantially the contour of a hose secured to said bar, and a pair of spaced rounded fingers projecting from said frame adjacent to the toe terminal of said frame adapted to receive therebetween the slack of the toe portion of a hose mounted upon said frame.

2. In a multiple embroidering machine, a pattern bar, a hollow frame of substantially the contour of a hose open at both sides secured to said bar, the toe portion of said frame being bifurcated to provide a pair of spaced rounded ngers which project generally in the plane of said frame and are adapted to receive therebetween the slack of the toe portion of a hose mounted upon said frame.

3. In a multiple embroidering machine, a pattern bar, a hollow frame of substantially the contour of a hose secured to said bar, said frame being provided With a groove substantially'ceno'rTo DE CARDY.
