iMPROVIEiMEN'I' IN EMB ROIDERING-MACHINE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the sain'e.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, Hanan-inn BERG-ER, of Marthalen, canton of Zurich, Switzerland, have invented a new and impibved Multiple Embroidering-Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. -Figure 1 represents a side view, partly in section, ofmy improved embroidering-machine. Figure 2 is an end view of the same. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding The object of this invention is to construct an emother fabric, in such manner that" one or more pairs of curtains or other articles can at once he embroid- 1 cred thereon, with the design in reverse. Thereby a very large amount of labor is saved, as, in the machinery heretoforc in use, but one single piece could he treated, and, as for the reverse position required on every pair of curtains, new designs had to be gotten up. My invention consists in providing the swinging sewing-frame with one or more pairs of needles, and with one or more pairs of hooks, or their equivalents, one needle of each pair working from above, and the other from below the piece of fabric which is to be embroidered by it. i A separate sheet of fabric is stretched on a fixed or adjustable frame between every needle and its hook. Both pairs move simultaneously, and as one embroiders its-fabric on the upper side, the other applies the ornamentation to the under side, both actions, however, being regulated by themotionof the swinging frame.;- Then the same design is applied to both fabrics, one to the upper and the other to the under side, thereby the design is reversed-on the two.

an embroideringsmachine. k

It has on its inner end projecting lugs a a, by means of which it is pivoted to a suitable stationary frame.

A vertical shaft, B, hung in the frame A, is in line whatever direction the said frame may be turned.

sidewise between 0 andt, as shown in fig. 1. r

Each of these bars has at its outer end a vertical arm, f, and these several arms have horizontal lugs in which the several vertical tubes, 0, D, and-E E, are hung to revolve in their bearings.

The tube 0 is held on the upper arm 0, the tube D on the lower arm e, and the tubes E E on the mid dle arnrd, some distance apart.

The axes of the four aforesaid tubes are all in line with each other, and all the tubes, except E, carry toothed wheels, g y, that mesh into similar wheels 7 on horizontal axles F, which are again geared into wheels hon a vertical axle, G.

The tubes E E carry pinions, i i, that mesh. both i into other pinions, j, of an arbor, 1t.

Thusall the four tubes are connected with each other, arid all will therefore turn on their own axes in the same direction, and simultaneously when one is turned.

H H are the embroidcring-hooks. They are pivoted to cars that project from the ends of the tubes,

to oscillate them simultaneously;

L L are the two needles,-fitted respectively into holders M M that are placed through the tubes The holder M receives reciprocating motion from levers N N that are acted upon by eccentrics on shafts O 0, said shafts gearing also into B.

Thus the needles and the hooks are moved simultaneously.

The needles are moved in the same direction; that is to say, both move hp at the same time, and down also.

A small shield, P; is arranged on the armf of c, I

around the needle L, and oneon the armf of 0, around the needle L, each serving to hold the stretched fabric the proper distance from the hook.

A separate sheet of fabric is stretched between each needle and its hook.

As the machine is set in operation, the needles a'pply their' threads to their respective fabrics; the upper needle L applies its thread to the upper surface of the fabric, and the lower needle applies its thread to the lower surface, both hooks formingthe requisite stretches on the sides opposite to the needles.

Either one of the needles can be thrown out of gear by means of suitable levers.

\Vhen the fabric is stretched in the two places, and a pattern abovethe'upper fabric, the frame A is swung on its pivot-s to carry the needle along the required lines.

' The design is then embroidered in reverse order on both fabrics.

I do not claim the mechanism for making the stitches, nor the frame A, nor anything inthe construction of the machinery on this apparatus.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A multiple embroidering-maohine, substantially such as described, provided with one or more pairs of books and needles working from above and below the cloth, in order to apply the same design in reverse order to two 'or more pieces of fabric, substantially as herein shown tnd described.

2. The combination with each other of the two embroidering-hooks H H attached to thegrod I, so as to move simultaneously below and above sheets of fabric, as set forth.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 30th day of June, A. D. 1869.
