Abstract
A embroidery framework is displaceable in vertical and horizontal directions by related drives and contains a circumferentially closed embroidery frame. This embroidery frame is supported at supports which are vertically displaceable by a vertical drive of the related drives. A side member of the embroidery frame is held in a vertically extending guide rail for displacement in a vertical direction. From the vertically extending guide rail there projects a horizontal bracket which conjointly with such guide rail forms a T-shaped constructional unit resistant to bending. This constructional unit is guided in horizontal direction at a stationary machine stand. The horizontal drive of the related drives act upon the constructional unit comprising the guide rail and the bracket.
Claims14
An embroidery machine comprising:
- an embroidery framework;
- at least one support for supporting the embroidery framework;
- said embroidery framework containing a circumferentially closed embroidery frame supported at said at least one support;
- said embroidery frame containing at least one side member;
- vertical drive means for substantially vertically displacing said embroidery framework;
- said at least one support being substantially vertically displaceable by said vertical drive means;
- horizontal drive means for substantially horizontally displacing said embroidery frame;
- at least one substantially vertically extending guide rail at which said at least one side member of said embroidery frame is guided for displacement in essentially vertical direction;
- at least one substantially horizontal bracket projecting from said at least one substantially vertically extending guide rail;
- said at least one substantially horizontal bracket and said at least one substantially vertically extending guide rail conjointly forming at least one substantially T-shaped constructional unit essentially resistant to bending;
- a stationary machine stand;
- said at least one substantially horizontal bracket being substantially horizontally guided at said stationary machine stand;
- and
- said horizontal drive means acting upon said at least one constructional unit comprising said at least one substantially horizontal bracket and said at least one substantially vertically extending guide rail.
