Inventors:

Don W. Webb - Dayton OH

International Classification:

D05B 2100

US Classification:

11247018

Abstract:

A garment is clamped against a frame-like feed plate of a computer controlled sewing machine by a clamping frame defining a set of openings of different sizes, and corresponding different size emblems or other patches are held against the garment within the openings by a corresponding set of clamping pads. Stitching gaps are defined within the openings around the pads, and the pads are supported within the openings by corresponding laterally projecting U-shaped inversion arms. The arms carry corresponding pinions which engage a rack operated by a fluid cylinder to provide for simultaneously rotating the inversion arms in opposite directions through 180. degree. to provide for automatically and successively stitching the patches to the garment completely around each clamping pad.
