ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a mechanical hooping press for framing sections of fabric for embroidery machines. The press includes one or more cylindrical assemblies. The preferred embodiment provides at least two pneumatically-operated cylindrical assemblies being operable either in tandem or independently. The device provides a base having a recess, and with a cylindrical assembly positioned directly above the recess. A first ring of an embroidery hoop is placed in the recess and a fabric section is placed upon the first ring. The cylindrical assembly is provided with a hoop disk for detachably retaining the second ring of the embroidery hoop. The second ring is attached to the hoop disk and the hoop disk is then driven toward the recess, eventually driving the second ring into engagement with the first ring, and capturing the fabric section therebetween. The invention also provides a nested hoop disk, and an embroidery hoop especially adapted for use with the mechanical hooper.
