ABSTRACT:
A hand-held embroidery machine comprises an elongated cylindrical casing sized for grasping a user's hand and terminating in a truncated cone at the front end. A hollow embroidery needle protrudes from an opening in the front end of the cone. The rear end of the needle is received in a needle holder eccentrically mounted on a face gear which is in turn mounted inside the front end of the casing for rotation about an axis normal to the length of the casing. An electric motor is positioned in the casing rearwardly of the face gear with its output shaft normal to the axis of the face gear. A pinion gear on the shaft drives the face gear to reciprocate the needle. Operation of the motor is controlled by a three-position switch actuable by a pushbutton in a side of the casing rearwardly adjacent the cone for selectively driving the needle at different speeds. The casing has a rear end cap carrying a bracket for mounting a spool of thread on the casing. A channel guides thread forwardly from the spool along the outside of the casing to an opening leading into a front compartment housing the needle holder. Walls inside the compartment converge rearwardly from the eccentrically mounted needle to the opening for guiding a threading wire rearwardly from the needle holder to the channel. The rear end cap is removable to change batteries and the front compartment has a cap which is removable to change needles.
