Embroidery machine

[0023] In the multi-head embroidery machine described in Figures 1 and 4, the frame 1 basically includes three retaining frames 2 arranged in the transverse direction A, forming a bridge and relatively spaced apart, and including an upper supporting beam 3 and an The lower support beams 4 , which run at a distance parallel to the upper support beam, both extend in the longitudinal direction B .

[0024] The holding frame 2 comprises two vertical struts 5 , an upper beam 6 and a lower beam 7 . Each upper cross member 6 has a downwardly directed middle part 8 . The upper support beam 3 is fastened to the lower end of the middle part 8 in such a way that it is at a distance from the underside of the upper transverse beam 6 . The lower support beam 4 instead lies directly on the upper side of the lower cross beam 7 and is likewise firmly connected thereto. The mutually facing inner sides of the vertical struts 5 have a relative distance which simultaneously corresponds to the clear
