Claims13
A cap holding device comprising:
- a holding member configured to mount a cap thereon;
- a pressing member detachably coupled to the holding member so as to maintain the cap in the holding member;
- and
- at least one fixing part formed at one end or both ends of the pressing member and fixed to the holding member,
- wherein the pressing member includes a first pressing member configured to maintain an embroidery region in the holding member, and a second pressing member detachably coupled to a coupling part, at which the first pressing member is coupled to the holding member, so as to fix a non-embroidery region of the cap to the holding member,
- wherein the holding member includes a first supporting surface, a part of which is cut away, the first supporting surface configured to support the embroidery region of the cap, and a second supporting surface configured to support the non-embroidery region of the cap, the second supporting surface having two extension parts forwardly extending from both side ends of the first supporting surface and a connection part configured to connect both ends of the extension parts to each other in parallel to the first supporting surface, a free end of the second supporting surface being positioned at a front of a moving route of a needle, and
- wherein a receiver configured to receive a second cap fixing part formed at a distal end of the second pressing member is formed at one of two extension parts of the second supporting surface.
