MACHINE FOR WEAVING AND CONCURRENT EMBROIDERING OF CLOTHING ITEMS, SPECIFICALLY EMBROIDERED HEADGEAR

摘要

A machine for the weaving and the concurrent embroidering of clothing items, specifically embroidered headgear, is described. The machine comprises a weaving loom provided with reciprocally approaching and distancing reciprocating heddles (3) for feeding reciprocally abreast warp thread (2), insertion means for weft threads (4) between said warp threads (2) when said heddles (3) are in distanced position and compacting means (6) for the weft threads when said heddles (3) are in approached position. The machine also comprises at least one rack (9) which develops parallelly to the weft threads and carries a succession of feeding needles (10) of corresponding embroidery threads (11). First displacement means (A) control the vertical displacement of the rack (9) in direction perpendicular to the fabric (1) for the insertion of the embroidery threads (11) underneath the new weft thread (4) to be inserted when said heddles (3) are in distanced position and second displacement means (B, 12) control the lateral displacement of the rack (9) in direction parallel to the weft threads (4) for the release of embroidery threads (11) parallelly to the last inserted weft thread (4) and transversally to the warp threads (2) along predetermined embroidering paths when said heddles (3) are in approached position.
