Abstract
The embroidery machine encompasses a large number of embroidery locations equipped with displaceably guided embroidery needles for the embroidery threads. These embroidery threads partially wrap about adjacently situated, conjointly to-and-fro oscillating thread guides of a thread delivery device in order to respectively accomplish the thread advance and thread retraction. At the region of the thread guides there is arranged a thread guide and clamping device comprising adjacently mounted guide elements located in a row upon a machine-fixed holder rail. These guide elements correspond in number to the number of embroidery locations and are constructed for guiding the threads, for clamping of the threads and for the cutting of the threads. With this arrangement there can be constructed or retrofitted, respectively, an embroidery machine of the aforementioned type such that there can be simply undertaken and with a good visual overview of the embroidery machine the guiding including the threading-in of the threads into the relevant guide elements, the clamping and severing of the thread ends of threads which do not participate in the embroidery operation, in other words are at standstill, and the non-participating threads can be optimally prepared for accomplishing a subsequent color or repeat change.
