Abstract

A multi-embroidery machine with a common carrier for the individual embroidery frames, the carrier being mounted moveably in the longitudinal axis of the embroidery machine as well as perpendicularly thereto and being adjustable by a pantograph drive; displacement movements of the pantograph drive, which are executed by a pantograph bar (which bar extends parallel to the carrier behind the sewing heads), are transmitted to the embroidery frame carrier by connection struts. For the longitudinal movement of the embroidery frames as well as for the transverse movement, one data carrier-controlled drive each is provided, which data carrier-controlled drives are controlled directly by the pantograph drive, and the displacement movements of the drives are fed to the pantograph bar.
