Improvements in Embroidering Machines.
We EMILE CORNELY and ROBERT CORNELY, of the firm of E. Cornely and Son, of
87 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris, France, Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
In the Specification to Letters Patent granted to Emile Cornely under the No. 6877
and date of June 5th 1885, a method is described and claimed for fixing cords or
braids to textile fabrics. The object of the present invention is the arrangement of
a guide in the machine described in above Letters Patent by means of which a braid
is laid and fixed between the material and the cord so that the three elements, the
material, the braid and the cord will be fixed together by one and the same operation
and that the entire work and feed can be guided by the crank handle of the machine.
As the entire machine is substantially the same as the one described in the Letters
Patent above mentioned a description thereof is not needed.
In the accompanying drawings figure 1 represents a vertical section through the
central tube of the machine-figure 2 represents a vertical section through the
organs which produce the seam, shown on an enlarged scale. The letters of reference
on the Drawings are the same as those in the Specification to the above mentioned
Letters Patent.
A spool holder d is secured to the flange of the wheel w and bears a spool W upon
which the braid m is wound which is to be fixed between the cloth c and the cord P
and a passage is made through the stitching plate N through which the braid m is
passed and is brought under the needle hook h.
It must be observed that the passage of the braid m through the plate N must
be in front of the needle hook while the passage for the cord P is to the rear of the
needle h in the same plate.
In the operation of the machine the needle stitches first through the cloth c
then through the braid m and finally the cord P is fixed to the braid m in the manner
described in the specification to the above mentioned Letters Patent for fixing the
cord to the cloth, the feed of the cloth being made in the direction of the arrow.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Embroidering Machines.
We EMILE CORNELY and ROBERT CORNELY, of the Firm of E. Cornely and Son,
of 87 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris, France, Manufacturers, 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 :-
In the Specification of Letters Patent granted to Emile Cornely under the No. 6877
and date of June 5th 1885 a method is described and claimed for fixing cords or
braids to textile fabrics. The object of the present Invention is the arrangement of
a guide in the machine described in the Specification of the above Letters Patent by
means of which a braid is laid and fixed between the material and the cord so that
the three elements, the material the braid and the cord will be fixed together by one
and the same operation and that the entire work and feed can be guided by the crank
handle of the machine.
The machine is substantially the same as the one described in the above Letters

page_text: Patent with the difference that a braiding guide or disc together with its operating
parts is fitted into the machine for guiding the braid, and the disposition of gearings
and shafts has to be changed owing to the space which the braiding bobbin must
occupy which does not exist in the above mentioned patent No. 6877 of 1885.
In the accompanying Drawings
--
Figure 1 represents an enlarged view of the organs which produce the work.
Figure 2 represents a plan of the braiding and sewing disc.
Figure 3 represents an elevation of the entire machine with a vertical central section
through the central tube.
Figure 4 represents a cross section through the line 16, 19.
Figure 5 represents a plan of the gearings. The other figures represent detached
views hereinafter to be referred to.
The letters of reference on the drawings are the same as those in the Specification
of the above mentioned Letters Patent No. 6877 of 1885.
A spool holder d is secured to the flange of the wheel w and bears a spool W upon
which the braid m is wound which is to be fixed between the cloth c and the cord P,
and a passage is made through the stitching plate N through which the braid m is
passed and is brought under the point of the needle hook h.
It must be observed that the passage of the braid m through the plate N must be
in front of the needle hook h while the passage for the cord P is to the rear of the
needle h in the same plate as represented in Figures 1 and 2.
In the operation of the machine the needle stitches first through the cloth c,
then through the braid m, and finally the cord P is fixed to the braid in the manner
described in the Specification to the above mentioned Letters Patent for fixing the
cord to the cloth, the feed of the cloth of the braid and of the cord being directed by
the crank handle S.
OPERATION OF THE ORGANS WHICH PRODUCE THE WORK.
The needle hook his operated in the well known manner employed on embroidering
machines which need not be described.
The revolving thread carrier 6 is operated from the main shaft D by means of the
helicoidal pinions g, k, which turn shaft 10 (Figures 3 and 5) pinion n (Figure 5)
which is fixed to the same shaft and pinion p (Figures 5 and 3) which latter operates
the pinion E, the planetary pinion a, and the pinions v, CL and M which turn
loosely on their shafts and which drive the pinion Q, shaft and pinions R and B
to which latter the revolving thread carrier b is secured which winds its thread f
around the needle h, and around the cord P which is to be fixed to the braid m. The
thread is supplied from the bobbin G which is set upon the spool holders and
which latter is also secured to pinion B. The pinion B turns upon the tube 2 which
is fixed into the frame F of the machine and the cord P passes through tube 2 from
bobbin 12 upward and thence into the cording guide N ; the latter as well as the
bobbin 12 are turned by means of the crank handle S in the following manner.
Crank handle S turns pinions ru (Figure 4) and lo and the wheels and w, to
which latter the cording guide N is fitted so as to turn with it. Pinions K, A and T
drive the chain pulley 6, its chain X, and chain pulley 11, and its hanger Y,' to
which the spool holder 8 is secured, and thus the spool 12 and the cording guide N
are turned together by crank handle S. A rod 14 is secured to the hanger Y, it
turns with said hanger and passes centrally through the tube 2, it has a cavity on
its upper end, Figures 6 and 8, into which the needle stitches to prevent its point
from coming in contact with the cord P, and the cord P passes through the tube 2
between its side and the rod 14. Figure 12 represents an arrangement in which the
rod 14 does not turn with the crank handle but where it is permanently fixed to
the support 15 which is secured to the frame F and where the bobbin 12 turns within
the support 15 by the action of crank handle S chain X and chain pulley 11 as
described in relation to Figure 3.

Instead of a fixed tube 2 and its central turning or fixed rod 14 a turning tube 2
་

page_text: can be employed, as represented Figures 10 and 11, which is provided at its upper end
with a plate in which suitable holes are made, one for the passage of the needle h, and
the other for the passage of the cord P. When a turning tube 2 is employed the
chain pulley 11 must be securely fixed on said tube and the latter must turn in the
frame F instead of being secured therein.
The revolving thread carrier b during its rotations around the needle is also directed
by the crank handle S in the following manner. Crank handle S turns pinions r, u;
ando and pinion 17, Figures 4 and 3, thence pinions 18 (Figure 3) shaft t
pinions H I, and planetary pinion a, pinions v, C L, and M which turn loosely on
their respective shafts and pinions QR and B to which latter the revolving thread
carrier bis secured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is: --
1. In a sewing or embroidering machine, the combination, with the stitch forming
mechanism, the cord guide, and the revolving thread carrier, of a braid guide arranged
in front of the needle for laying a braid between the cord and the fabric substantially
as described.
2. The combination of the reciprocating needle, the universal feed mechanism,
the cord guide, the revolving thread carrier for winding a thread around the cord and
the needle, and the braid guide, said guides being both connected with the operating
handle of the feed mechanism, so as to follow the direction of the feed.
3. The combination with the hook needle and universal feed mechanism, of a plate
having a cord guide behind the needle and a braid guide in front of the same, said
plate being connected with the operating handle of the feed mechanism as set forth,
and the thread carrier for winding a thread around the cord and needle substantially
as described.
