Improvements in or relating to Embroidery Machines.
I, RUDOLPH WEISS of 139 Noel Street, in the Borough of Nottingham,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to embroidery machines in which the material to be
embroidered is carried on a framing which is moved by a pantograph or other
means, and in which series of double pointed needles are employed provided with
threads which are alternately passed through the fabric and received by series of
jaws or uppers arranged on each side of the fabric.
In carrying out this invention we preferably employ two back and two front bars
to which the needle nippers are secured and from which they receive their motion
to and from the material, and operate two series of needles placed one above the
other; these bars are secured to bangers arranged at the back and front of the
framing carrying the material and are preferably pivoted at their upper ends on
brackets secured to the top rail of the framing.
The nipper carrying bars can thus swing to or from the tissue or fabric and to
prevent lateral movement the end of the bars or set screws secured thereto may
work on end plates secured to the framing.
Motion is imparted to the nipper carrying bars by means of links connected to
levers secured on rocking shafts arranged at the front and back of the machine and
carried in bearings secured to or formed in the framing; these rocking shafts are
operated by means of cims secured on main cam shafts carried in bearings
preferably on the underside of the front and back rocking shafts and connected to
cach other by suitable gearing. The cams arc in peripheral contact with anti-
friction rollers pivoted on levers which may be pivoted to the framing or brackets
secured thereto and connected by links to levers on the rocking shaft.
The needle nippers may be operated so as to release or secure the needles by
means of eccentric shafts arranged above the nipper carrying bars and carried in
bearings preferably secured to the hangers; these shafts are turned through a
sufficient space so as to depress the tails of the neper jaws of the nippers when
required by means of levers secured thereto connected by links to levers secured on
front and back rocking shafts carried in suitable bearings and operated by cams
on the main cam shaft in a similar manner to the nipper carrying har rocking shaft.
In embroidery machines of this description where the needles are always
withdrawn the same distance from the tissue or fabric it is necessary to provide a
take up for drawing the whole length of the threads through; this has hitherto
been effected by employing bars or other apparatus which has been lowered between
the needle and fabric after each stitch and raised again before a fresh stitch is
made thus leaving the threads hanging down in loops which are liable to kink when
the threads are drawn through the fabric to the other side. In my improved
arrangement the take up bars of which there are one to each nipper carrying bar
are arranged so that the stitches are made from that side of the fabric where the
take up bars are in their lower position and are raised as the take up bars on
the other side descend and draw the threads through the fabric thus keeping the
threads always in tension or nearly so which prevents them from kinking; with this
movement the take up bars must be adapted to automatically release the threads
when they approach their upper positions. To effect this the bars may be con-
structed in the following manner :-On each bar and corresponding to the number
of needles are secured brackets with upward extensions, each bracket being provided
near the upper end of the extension with a sliding pin or bolt which is adapted to
slide out of the bracket and enter a recess in the one next to it thus closing the

page_text: space
between them. When the needles pass through the fabric they pass through
the space between the brackets and below the level of the bolts and as the take up
bar descends the sliding bolts will retain the threads and draw them through
the fabric by withdrawing the sliding bolts the threads may be released when
desired.
The sliding bolts may be operated by levers pivoted on the bar or brackets
one end of each of which engages with a bolt and its other end with a sliding bar
extending along the take up bar; this sliding bar may he shogged by a bell-rank
lever pivoted on the end of the take up bar engaging with the sliding bar and
striking against a fixed projection on the framing as the take up bar rises or by
other suitable mechanical arrangement. The sliding bar may be returned to its
normal position by a suitably arranged spring when released by the bell crank
1ver or other arrangement.
I do not however confine myself to the precise arrangement of take up bar
described as it is obvious that numerous other arrangements may be employed for
retaining and releasing the threads.
Each take up har may take its motion from and is secured to the ends of levers
secured on rocking shatis at the front and back of the machine arranged preferably
at or near the same height as the series of needles to which they belong and carried
in bearings secured to or formed in the framing: motion can be imparted to the
front and back pair of rocking shafts by cans on the front and back main cam shaft
respectively.
The cam surfaces are preferably formel of a considerable length, and eut with a
gradually reducing motion towards one end so that as the length of thread in the
needles is reduced the cam or anti-friction roller in peripheral contact therewith
may be moved laterally so as to reduce the motion on the take up bars.
To effect thi autentically the anti-friction rollers are preferably pivoted near
the centre of supplementary levers the outer end of each of which is pivoted
together with a main lever (and carried preferably on the underside of the cam) to
the lower end of a link connected to a lever secured on the take up rocking shaft,
the inner end of the main levers being pivoted on fixed centres alat which they
turn but the inner ends of the supplementary levers are free. Secured to or formed
on the supplementary levers are projections which when they are depressed by the
cams engage with the main levers thus depressing the main levers which raise the
take up bar. As the needle threads decrease in length as they are worked into
the fabric they will stop the take up bars before they reach their lowest position
and the main cam lever will consequently stop but the supplementary lever will
follow the motion of the cams and its free end will rise. The free ends of the
supplementary levers are connected by links to the inner ends of levers working
about fixed centres and provided with pawls at their outer ends working in engage
ment with ratchet wheels; the pawls will thus be lowered as the free ends of the
supplementary levers rise, and be immediately raised again by a cam or other
suitable arrangement having a constant motion operating on the end of the lever
thus turning the ratchet wheel through a space corresponding to the distance the
pawl is lowered.
The ratchet wheels are connected by suitable arrangement of shafts and gearing
to worms which work in engagement with circular racks preferably on the cans or
cam shaft which will thus be inoved laterally and the motion of the take up bars
will be constantly reduced so as to correspond to the constantly reducing length of
thread in the needles.
The tension on the threads may be regulated by counter-balancing the take up
bars by adjustable weights preferably sliding on levers secured to the take up
rocking shaft, such weights being moved or adjusted to suit different kinds of
stitches or materials by some suitable mechanical arrangement.
As the length of the threads in the needles decreases less time is required for the
taking up and the machine may consequently be driven faster; for this purpose the
driving belt may run on two coned pulleys of well known construction and

page_text: arrangement the belt being moved on the pulleys to increase the speed by a fork
connected to one of the cam shafts in such a manner that the lateral movement of
the latter will more the belt fork the required distance.
As it is not desirable to increase the whole of the motions of the machine but
only the take up, the former may be compensated for by employing cams of similar
construction to the take up cams and receiving the same lateral motion as the shaft;
these may be graduated towards one end so that although imparting the same
motion throughout to the anti-friction rollers in peripheral contact therewith they
will have to turn through a greater space to accomplish this and the rest which is
the time the take up is in operation will be correspondingly shortened.
I may employ support bars arranged with their upper edges immediately below
the needles and the threads drawn over them so that they are drawn at right angles
or nearly so through the fabric; they are secured by brackets to bars arranged at
the back of the nipper carrying bars which are carried preferably in slides and have
a suitable motion imparted to them by means of cams and suitable connections.

Improvements in or relating to Embroidery Machines.
I, RUDOLPH WEISS of 139 Noel Street, in the Borough of Nottingham
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to embroidery machines in which the material to be
embroidered is carried on a framing which is moved by a pantograph operated by
an attendant or other means, and in which series of double pointed needles are
employed, provided with threads of a limited length which are alternately passed
entirely through the fabric and received by series of jaws or nippers arranged on
each side of the fabric.
It will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the left hand end of the machine.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation partly in section.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of part of the upper tier and tissue.
Fig. is a front view of part of one of the take-up bars.
Figs. 5 and 6 are an elevation and a plan respectively showing modification of a
take-up bar.
Figs. 7 and 8 are an end and a side elevation respectively of a take-up cam.
Figs. 9 and 10 are an end and a side clevation respectively of a nipper-carrying-
bar-cam.
Figs. 11 and 12 are an elevation and a plan respectively showing detail of
take-up-regulating arrangement.
Fig. 13 is a side elevation showing detail of the take-up movement.
Figs. 14 and 15 are an eud and side elevation respectively of the nipper-carrying
bar counter cam.
Figs. 16 and 17 are an end and side elevation respectively of the nipper-
releasing shaft cam.
Figs. 18 and 19 are a side and front elevation respectively of the driving
arrangement at the right hand end of the machine, and
Figs. 20 and 21 are an end and side elevation respectively of one of the support
bar cams.
The machine as described is adapted to operate an upper and lower tier of
needles which tiers are in part identical with each other the upper tier is also
operated simultaneously with its corresponding lower tier and by the same cams it

page_text: will also be understood that the back of the machine is mainly a copy of the front
and that the following which is a description of the front applies also substantially
to the back where not otherwise stated.
The framing of the machine consists essentially of two end standaris A inter-
mediate standards B connected by tie-bars (at the top and by rails D at the
front and back also outside the end standards A. are reduced standards E connected
to the end standards by suitable cross stays.
The nipper carrying bars F are supported by hangers G those of the upper tier
being pivoted at in brackets G₁secured to the tie-bars C and those of the
lower fier at (3 to the hangers of the upper tier the said hangers being thus
free to move or swing to or from the material or tissue II hereinafter called the
tissue.
Motion is imparted to the nipper-carrying-bars F by links connected to
levers secured on rocking shafts carried in bearings I secured to the
framing: motion is imparted to the rocking shafts F by means of cams and F
secured on the can shaft which is carried in bearings secured to the framing.
The cams F and F are in peripheral contact with antifriction rollers pivoted on
lever Fund arm secured to a shaft F journaled in bearings carried preferably
by the rail D the lever F is connected by links F and F to arms secured
to the rocking shafts F³; by this means a positive motion is obtained both for the
"in and "out movement of the bars F the cam F³ being cut so as to net as a
counter-enin to the enm F
"
"
The needle nippers may be operated so as to release the needles by means of
eccentric shafts K carried in bearings K secured to the hangers (which shafts
are turned through a sufficient space to depress the tails of the nippers when
required by means of arms K secured thereto connected by preferably slotted
links to arms K secured to rocking shafts K³ carried in the bearings I.
Motion is imparted to the rocking shafts K by a cam K (Figs. 16 and 17)
secured on the cam shaft J operating a lever K' which is pivoted at K to a
bracket secured to the rail D and at its free end is connected by links K
and K to the rocking shafts K
The take-up bars L of special construction hereinafter described are carried by
arm secured in the case of the lower tier on a rocking shaft carried in
bearings L secured to the framing and in the case of the upper tier may be
pivoted on independent pivots L secured to the framing, the arms L' of the upper
and lower tiers being connected by links L and are thus operated simultaneously
by the rocking shaft both upper and lower sets of arms may however he
carried on rocking shafts or on independent pivots and in the latter cast netunied
by a rocking shaft arranged at any convenient part of the machine through any
suitable mechanical arrangement.
The rocking shaft L is netuated by a cam L secured on the cam shaft. J
operating through an anti-friction roller a supplementary lever L provided with a
projection which engages with and operates the lever L this lever is pivoted
at L to a bracket L secured to the framing and is connected at its free end by
a link L to an arm L secured on the shaft L. The take up bars I may be
counterbalanced by means of weights L" adjustable on arms 1 secured on the
shaft Lif desirable such weights may be moved or adjusted by a suitable mechanical
arrangement so as to be under the control of the attendant working the panto-
graph by this means the tension put on the threads by the take up bar L may
be regulated to suit different kinds of stitches or tissue.
The support-bars M are arranged with their upper edges immediately below
the needles and the threads drawn over them by the take up so that the said
threads are drawn at right angles or nearly so, through the tissue, for this purpose
also they are withdrawn from the tissue each stitch a sufficient distance. They
are carried by brackets M' which pass over the nippor-carrying-bars and are
secured to bars M actuated by links M connected to arnis M secured on the
rocking shaft M' carried in the bearings I the rocking shafts M are operated by

page_text: a cam M (Figs. 20 and 21) secured on the cam shaft J actuating through an
anti-friction roller a lever M³ pivoted at M³ to a bracket Msecured to the rail D
and counccted at its free end by links M and M" to the levers M¹³ secured to
the shafts Ms. The parts Ms and M³ are immediately behind the corresponding
parts K and K in Fig. 2.
In embroidery machines of this description where the needles are always with-
drawn the same distance from the tissue it is necessary to provide a take-up for
drawing the threads through the tissue.
In my improved arrangement the take up bars L of which there are two to each
tier of needles are arranged so that the stitches can be made from that side of
the tissue where the take-up bars are in their lower position and the needles pass
through to the side where the take-up bars are in their highest position as the
take-up pars on the side to which the needles have passed descend to draw the
threads through the tissue the bars on the other side are raised thus keeping
the threads N always in tension or nearly so which prevents them from kinking;
with this movement the take-up bars must be constructed so as to release the
threads when they approach their upper position.
To effect this the bars 1. may be constructed in the following manner (see
Figs. 3 and 4). On the take-up bars and corresponding to the number and
position of the needles are secured brackets, P, extending upwards, each bracket
is provided at its upper end with a sliding pin or boit P adapted to slide out of
and engage in a corresponding recess in the one next to it thus closing the space
between the brackets. The bolts P1 may be operated by a bar sliding on the
take-up bar and provided with arms which engage in annular recesses formed in
the bolts or as shown by levers P2 pivoted at 13 on the brackets P the upper
ends of which engage in annular recesses P in the pins P1 and provided at their
lower ends with pins or projections P which engage with a bar 1 which is
shogged against the action of a spring.
The needles pass through the tissue and through the space between the brackets P
below the level of the bolts P¹ which thus retain the threads N as the bar descends
as the take up bars on the other side of the tissue approach their upper position
the bolts may be withdrawn to release the threads by shogging the bar Pe
and again closed so that a stitch can be immediately made from the other
side.
With this arrangement the movement of the take-up bars is reduced to the
simplest form and immediately the bars on one side reach their lower position
and the bars on the other side of the tissue their upper position a fresh stitch can
be made.
The bars P are preferably formed of thin steel known as "steel bar" and
may be connected by one of their ends to a spring secured to its corresponding
take-up bar L and the remaining ends (see Fig. 13) after passing over a pulley 1"
pivoted to the opposite end of the bar to which the spring is secured, and a
pulley P pivoted to a bracket 1 secured to the framing are secured to the free
end of the lever Plo actuated by a cam P" secured to the cam shaft J.
In a modified arrangement the sliding bars may be operated by bell-crank or
other suitable levers pivoted on the ends of the take-up bars one end of each of
which engages with its corresponding sliding bar the free ends being actuated
by striking against fixed or movable projections carried by the framing as the take-
up bars rise.
The releasing movement is thus independent of the take-up movement and the
threads can be released when the take-up bars are in any position or when they
are at rest.
In a modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6 a take-up bar L may be formed as
shown with openings O corresponding to the position of the needles, sliding on the
bar L is a bar O provided with upward extensions at the upper ends of which are
extensions or bolts O which are of sufficient length to close the reduced width of

page_text: the opening O at the top when shogged on the bar L, the bar O may be retained
in position by screws O passing through slots in its lower part and at the upper
part by ears on the bar L turned down over the bar ()¹."
The har O may be shogged by a steel bar or other flexible connection in
the same manner as hereinbefore described against the action of a spring or may
be operated at both ends by cams through flexible connections in which case it
would have a positive motion both ways.
I do not however confine myself to the precise arrangement of take-up bars
set forth as it is obvious that numerous other arrangements may be employed for
retaining and releasing the threads.
The surfaces of the take-up cams 1º (see Figs. 7, 8 and 12) are formed of a
considerable length and cut with a gradually reducing motion towards one end so
that as the length of thread in the needles is reduced the cam by changing its
position with respect to the anti-friction roller in peripheral contact therewith
will produce a corresponding decrease in the motion or stroke of the take-up bars.
To effect this automatically the anti-friction ruller of each cam is pivoted on
the supplementary lever L (see Figs. 1, 2, 11 and 12) which is pivoted on the
connecting pin L of the lever Land link L the lever L' is provided with the
projection which engages with and depresses the main lever L thus raising
the take-up bars. As the threads in the neelles decrease in length as they are
worked into the tissue they will stop the take-up bars before they reach their
lowest position with re-pert to the relative positions of the cam and anti-friction
roller and the main lever will consequently stop but the supplementary lover L' by
reason of the action of the spring 1 will follow the cam and its five end 1ª will
consequently rise turning about its pivot 12“.
The free end L of the lever L'engages with the lower forked end of a link R
connected at its upper end to a lever R' seured on the shaft R carried in
bearings Rsceured to the framing. The inner end of the lever R' is provided
with a pawl R which engages with the ratchet wheel R. As the inner end of the
lever Ris raid against the action of the counterweight R“ through the link R
by the lever L its outer end and pawl R' will descend and is again raised by the
cam R7 scenred to the camshaft neting on the antifriction roller pivoted on the
lever K which is secured on the shaft R thus turning the ratchet wheel R³
through a space corresponding to the distance the inner end of the lever R¹is raised
and returning the latter together with the lever 17 to their normal positions.
The ratelet wheel R is seenred on a shaft & carried in bearings S' secured to
the framing, and is connected at its immer end by spar wheels 8 to a shaft 8ª
e tried in the bearings S and S the shaft is provided with a worm S³ which
engages with the nunular rack S on the cam shaft which is thus moved
longitudinally by turning the ratchet wheel R³.
ly this menus the relative positions of the cam L' and antifriction roller in
peripheral contact therewith will be automatically changed and the motion of the
take-up bars will be constantly reduced so as to correspond to the constantly
reducing length of thread in the needles and such reduction of the motion of the
take-up bars will be governed by the threads as their length is reduced.
As the length of the threads in the needles decrease lass motion or smaller
strokes of the take-up bars is required and consequently a less number of the
360 degrees of each revolution of the cam are wanted for that movement the degrees
thus not required by reason of the reduction of the motion of the take-up bars not
wholly going to increase the number of the degrees of rest but at different positions
in the length of the cam being distributed between the movement-giving-degrees
and the degrees of rest the speed of the cam shaft may be increased without
increasing the speed of the take-up bars or altering the length of the period during
which they are at rest.
For this purpose the driving belt T may run on coned pulleys T the upper one
of which is secured on a shaft T carried in bearings T secured to the framing

page_text: and provided with fast and loose pulleys T the lower pulley T' is secured on a
shaft T carried in bearings T secured to the framing and is connected to the
front cam shaft J by spur wheels T and T. The belt T is moved on the
pulleys T by a fork or flanged pulley T rotating on the cam shaft J which by its
lateral movement decreases the motion of the take-up bars and by moving the
belt T increases the speed of the cam shaft to an amount which is regulated by the
shape of the pulleys T.
As it is not desirable to increase the speed of any of the working parts of
the machine as the duration of the length of rest of the take-up bars is uniform
it will be necessary to compensate for the increased speed of the cam shaft. This
I am enabled to do by employing cams of a length equal to the take-up cams and
receiving the same longitudinal movement as the take-up cam and cam-shaft.);
these may be graduated towards one end (as shown in Figs. 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17,
20 and 21) so that although imparting the same motion throughout to the cam
levers working in connection therewith the number of the degrees of motion are
increased to correspond to the increased number of the degrees of rest on the
take-up cam and the number of degrees of rest are correspondingly decreased to
correspond to the decreased movement of the take-up bars.
To prevent the cam levers from being strained by the longitudinal motion of
the cain shaft and the inclined surfaces of the cams their free ends may be adapted
so as to work in vertical guides of suitable construction preferably secured to the
framing.
The spur wheel T is provided with a feather engaging with a longitudinal
groove or key-way T" in the cam shaft J which is thus free to slide longitudinally
through the wheel T which is held in position by the bearing T" secured to the
cross-stay secured to the spur wheel T is a mitre wheel U in gear with a corre-
sponding wheel U₁ secured to the cross shaft U carried in bearing U³ secured to
the framing, this shaft communicates motion to the back cam shaft by means of
another pair of mitre wheels and a similar arrangement as shown in connection with
the front shaft.
It is obvious that if the cam shaft was run at the same speed throughout it would
not be necessary to employ graduated cams except in connection with the take-up
which cam could be adapted to slide laterally on the cam shaft the remaining cams
being of ordinary construction.
I wish it understood that I do not bind myself to the precise construction of
