ABSTRACT:
An embroidery panels holding mechanism and an embroidery panels changing system for an automated embroidery machine are provided. The holding mechanism holds a plurality of panels at predetermined positions corresponding to the positions of the ganged embroidery stations of the embroidery machine. The holding mechanism includes an elongate base plate having an upper face, a plurality of elongate clamp bars extending axially and spaced along the upper face, a mounting device for mounting each the clamp bar for movement toward and away from the upper face, and a spring for biasing each clamp bar against the upper face. A changing table remote from the embroidery machine includes a changing station at which embroidery panels already embroidered are individually exchanged for embroidery panels to be embroidered. This table includes an elongate track on which the base plate is received for movement therealong. A retaining device retains the base plate immovably along the track when each clamp bar in turn is located at the changing station. A lifting device is then used for moving the clamp bar at the changing station (a) away from the upper face and against the biasing device so that an embroidery panel already embroidered can be removed therebetween and an embroidery panel to be embroidered can be placed between the lifted the clamp bar and the upper face and (b) back against the upper face so that the panel to be embroidered is trapped therebetween.
