ABSTRACT:
A tensioning assembly for applying tension to portions of a cap is provided. The tensioning assembly increases the tension applied to cylindrical sections of the cap that are located between the cap visor and the back of the cap. The tensioning assembly includes a tensioning disk that is moveable inwardly and outwardly, as well as being rotatable, when an embroidery pattern is being stitched on the cap. The tensioning assembly is connected to a drive apparatus and its position relative thereto can be adjusted, depending upon the size of the cap. A cable adjustment assembly is also preferably included for maintaining desired tension of a cable that is coupled to a drive beam used in providing linear motion that is translated to rotational movement of the cap being embroidered. A holder assembly is connected to the drive apparatus for maintaining desired positioning of the drive beam particularly when the drive apparatus is detached from the computerized embroidery machine.
