US Classification:

112103

Abstract:

A low profile clamp for an embroidery machine uses resilient arms that function as a leaf spring to transmit compressive closing forces to secure articles to be embroidered between clamping windows. A roller is moved in an arcuate path to apply bending stresses to clamp arms. The low profile of the clamp allows it to pass between the presser feet and throat plate protecting the presser feet and needles from serious damage if the panagraph moves the body of the clamp in the space between presser feet and throat plate during machine initialization or at any other time.
