Embroidery Label Frame With Movable Alignment Template
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing embroidery machines face difficulties in accurately aligning and fixing labels to fabric, leading to uneven sewing and requiring manual handling, especially when multiple labels of different shapes are involved, complicating industrial production.
Innovation Solution
A frame for clamping fabric with a movable template and border, allowing precise alignment and automatic positioning of labels using a predefined pattern, eliminating manual handling and facilitating multiple label application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sewing line follows the entire perimeter of the label, then the label is securely fixed to the fabric, but the alignment becomes complicated and requires manual holding
Solution Approach 1:
A template is introduced as an intermediary device between the label and the embroidery machine. The template contains a cutout that matches the label shape and includes alignment features (such as positioning holes or edges) that guide the label into correct orientation automatically, eliminating the need for manual alignment while maintaining secure perimeter sewing
2Manufacturing precision
If manual holding of the label is required during sewing, then alignment can be adjusted, but the operator cannot handle multiple labels efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The template is prepared in advance with the cutout shape and alignment features pre-configured. The label is positioned in the template before sewing begins, allowing preliminary alignment verification. This pre-positioning system enables quick exchange of labels without requiring manual adjustment during sewing, thus maintaining precision while improving productivity
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple labels of different shapes are to be fixed, then product variety is increased, but positioning difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The template is designed as a segmented or modular system where different cutout shapes can be accommodated. Each label shape has its corresponding cutout configuration, and the template can be reconfigured or exchanged to match different label requirements. This segmentation allows versatile label shapes while maintaining easy positioning through the standardized template interface

AI summary
A frame (1) for clamping fabric (4) for embroidery machines (5), characterized in that it comprises a template for sewing labels (20, 30). The template can move transversely with respect to a resting surface (P) of a fabric (4) and comprises at least one cutout plate (2), which has at least one opening (21, 22) the shape of which matches a first label (20) to be applied by sewing to the fabric (4), the inner rim (21a) of the opening (21) being adapted to contain laterally the first label (20) during sewing.
