Improvements in Braiding and Embroidering Machines.
We, EMILE CORNELY and ROBERT CORNELY, both of 87, Faubourg St. Denis,
Paris, in the French Republic, Manufacturers of Sewing Machines, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Existing braiding machines work with a single needle and for this reason it
is difficult to employ braids, ribbons or other materials of a certain width when
they have to be sewn on flat upon the cloth, because the needle stitches into
the middle of the braid, in consequence of which the braid has a tendency to
raise or stand up in the turnings of the design of the embroidery.
The object of the present invention is to prevent these inconveniences in order
to permit the braids or other materials to be sewn on entirely flat even in the
smallest curves of the design of the embroidery.
For this purpose we adapt a braiding appliance or device upon an embroider-
ing machine working with two or more needles so that the needles may stitch
into the edges of the braid or ribbon, thus preventing said braid from raising
or standing up in the curves of the design.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents such a braiding machine
working with two needles in which the braid A comes from bobbin B, passes
through central tube C and through nipple D where it is applied upon the cloth.
The nipple D (Figure 2) is provided with two holes in which the two needles E
and F are guided and thus said needles stitch into the edges of the braid which
is thus secured flat upon the cloth.

declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:

The nipple D (Fig. 2) is provided with two holes in which the two needles E
and Fare guided and thus said needles stitch into the edges of the braid which
latter is thus secured flat upon the cloth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
In embroidering or sewing machines working with several needles, the com-
bination of a braiding appliance for the purpose of sewing braids, ribbons or
other materials flat upon the cloth, the needles stitching into the edges of said
materials in order to prevent them from rising or standing up in the curves
of the design of the embroidery.
