ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a headgear frame for a sewing machine for embroidering the peripheral portion of a headgear.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional headgear frame
100
for a sewing machine is provided, for example, with a receiving frame
101
formed into a cylindrical shape and a holding band
102
having a belt shape, as shown in FIG.
4
.
When a headgear
1
is to be embroidered, first of all, the receiving frame
101
of the headgear frame
100
is mounted on the (not-shown) set jig. And, the headgear
1
is fitted on the outer circumference of the receiving frame
101
and is then clamped and fixed on its outer circumference by the holding band
102
of the headgear frame
100
.
The holding band
102
is provided at its other end
102
b
with a ring
103
, and the receiving frame
101
is provided with a hooking member
104
for hooking the ring
103
. After the ring
103
was hooked by the hooking member
104
, as shown in
FIG. 5
, it may be dislocated to chatter in the width direction (i.e., in the direction, as indicted by double-dotted arrows in
FIG. 5
) of the holding band
102
with respect to the hooking member
104
. As a result, the holding band
102
is not positioned so that the headgear
1
cannot be set in position or may go out of position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the invention is to provide a headgear frame capable of clamping a headgear in position.
In the invention, therefore, there have been taken the following means, as will be individually described with reference to
FIGS. 1
to
3
.
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a headgear frame
10
comprising: a cylindrical receiving frame
11
adapted to be fitted in a headgear
1
; and a holding band
12
adapted to be wound on the outer side of the headgear
1
for clamping the headgear
1
between itself and the receiving frame
11
, wherein said holding band
12
is hinged at its one end
12
a
to a hinging portion
16
in the vicinity of the receiving frame
11
and is removably hooked at its other end
12
b
by a hooking portion
17
in the vicinity of the receiving frame
11
,
characterized: in that the hooking portion
17
in the vicinity of the receiving frame
11
and the other end
12
b
of said holding band
12
are relatively provided with a combination of a hooking member
18
and a pair of regulating members
19
forming a V-shaped angled side face
20
with the hooking member
18
on the both sides of said hooking member
18
, and a ring
21
adapted to be hooked by said hooking member
18
(in the shown embodiment, the hooking portion
17
is provided with the combination of the hooking member
18
and the regulating members
19
whereas the other end
12
b
of the holding band
12
is provided with the ring
21
, but the hooking portion
17
may be provided with the ring
21
whereas the other end
12
b
of the holding band
12
may be provided with the combination of the hooking member
18
and the regulating members
19
); and in that when the ring
21
is hooked by the hooking member
18
, it bites into the V-shaped angled side face so that it is not dislocated with respect to the hooking member
18
(especially in the band width direction of the holding band
12
).
The headgear
1
includes a cap, a hat, a beret and any others which can be embroidered and worn on the head.
In the shown embodiment, it is preferred that the ring
21
is provided at its leading end with a C-shaped portion
22
(this C-shape includes one which curves smoothly and one which is squarish and bends), that the hooking member
18
is made substantially as wide as the internal width of the C- shaped portion
22
, and that the paired regulating members
19
are spaced substantially as wide as the external width of the C-shaped portion
22
.
According to this headgear frame
10
, after the ring
21
was hooked by the hooking member
18
, the ring
21
is restrained from being dislocated in the band width direction of the holding band
12
with respect to said hooking member
18
and from chattering, and the holding band
12
is positioned so that the headgear
1
can be set in position and so that the headgear
1
is not displaced while being embroidered.
Further objects of this invention will become evident upon an understanding of the illustrative embodiments described below. Various advantages not specifically referred to herein but within the scope of the instant invention will occur to one skilled in the art upon practice of the presently disclosed invention. The following examples and embodiments are illustrative and not seen to limit the scope of the invention.
