Abstract

An embroidery frame arrangement assignable to a sewing or embroidery machine and on which an at least sectionally tubular or bag-like textile structure is clampable in order to provide a flat, single-layer first partial region of the textile structure to be embroidered. The embroidery frame arrangement has first and second frame parts which are fixable together and/or second and third frame parts which are fixable together. The tubular or bag-like section of the textile structure is fixable between the first and second frame parts or between the second and third frame parts when the second frame part engages with the first frame part and/or when the third frame part engages with the second frame part. Consequently, the flat, single-layer first partial region of the textile structure to be embroidered is provided on the second frame part and surrounded thereby or is provided on the third frame part and surrounded thereby.

Dependent claims

An embroidery frame arrangement (1) for use with a sewing machine or embroidery machine (M) and on which at least a tubular or bag-shaped section of a textile structure (T) is adapted to be clamped in order to provide a flat, single-layer first partial region (T1) of the tubular or bag-shaped section of the textile structure (T) for embroidering an embroidery pattern by the sewing machine or embroidery machine (M), the embroidery frame arrangement (1) comprising:

a first frame part (R1) including a docking device (AV) and a tensioning device (SV);
a second frame part (R2) which is fixable to the first frame part (R1);
and
a third frame part (R3) which is movable into insertable engagement with the second frame part (R2),
wherein the tubular or bag-shaped section of the textile structure (T) is adapted to be fixed between the second frame part (R2) and the third frame part (R3) when the third frame part (R3) is brought into engagement with the second frame part (R2);
wherein, when the third frame part (R3) is moved into engagement with the second frame part (R2) with the flat, single-layer first partial region (T1) of the tubular or bag-shaped section of the textile structure (T) disposed therebetween, the flat, single-layer first partial region (T1) of the tubular or bag-shaped section of the textile structure (T) is adapted to be provided for embroidering on the third frame part;
and
wherein the third frame part (R3) has a first formation (F31) which projects away from the third frame part (R3) and on which a first edge region (T21) of an inverted second partial region (T2) of the tubular or bag-shaped section of the textile structure (T) is adapted to be fixed.
