Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Tufting machines for making U-tufts and/or loop-tufts on a backing.
  • the tufts may be made of the same or different heights and from strands of tufting material having the same or different color or other characteristics.
  • Some machines form U-tufts and/or loop tufts from discrete bits of tufting material whereas others fonn loop-tufts and/or U-tufts from a continuous strand.
  • the pile pattern may be changed by controlling the number of rows of tufts per unit length of the backing; the number of tufts per row (gage), and the relative positions of corresponding tufts of different rows.
  • All of the machines utilize at least one, and usually more, of the following means in cooperative combinations; tufting needle means including split-eye needles of novel construction and mode of control for opening and/or closure of the needle eyes; forkedend tufting blades which slit the backing and force the strands through the backing to form loop-tufts; novel adjustable bitstop means at the tufting stations; strand-clamping means of novel construction at the tufting stations and/or in advance of strand-severing means; strand-severing means of novel rotary cutter and anvil construction used in various combinations of single cutter/single anvil, multiple-cutter/single anvil, and multiple-cutter/multiple anvil to supply a tufting station with tufting material of selected length and/or of selected color or other characteristics: novel cutter/anvil arrangements for making cut and/or uncut loop-tufts from continuous strands and in which blades of the cutter slit the backing, force the strands through the backing into the anvil recesses, and, for
