Stitch distribution control system for tufting machines
ActiveUS20090260554A1Sufficient enhanced densityHigh selectivityTufting apparatusYarnDistribution control
A stitch distribution control system for a tufting machine for controlling placement of yarns being fed to the needles of the tufting machine by yam feed mechanisms to form a desired pattern. A backing material is fed through the tufting machine at an increased stitch rate as the needles are shifted according to calculated pattern steps. A series of loopers or hooks engage and pick loops of yarns from the needles. The yarn feed mechanisms further can be controlled so that selected loops of yarns can be back-robbed so as to be hidden from view in the finished patterned tufted article.

Double end servo scroll and direct scroll driver pattern attachment for tufting machine
The present invention provides a double end yarn drive pattern attachment for tufting machines characterized by independent servo-motor control of yarn feed rolls capable of increased torque to carry multiple yarn ends on a single feed roll, thereby economically retaining many advantages of a single end pattern attachment. The improved attachment utilizes an intermediate gear to provide a relatively high torque drive adaptable between single and plural yarn pattern attachments.

Level cut loop looper and clip assembly
A level cut loop looper or hook and clip for a tufting machine includes a looper body having a channel in which a clip is received. The clip is moved between extended and retracted positions by an actuator as the level cut loop looper or hook is reciprocated into engagement with a needle of the tufting machine, so as to selectively form cut and loop pile tufts in a backing material.

Tufting machine
A tufting machine for producing pile fabric having a pile height of approximately at least 50 mm has divider plates between adjacent needles to prevent yarn loops and especially the legs of cut loops from becoming trapped between an adjacent needle and its associated yarn feed. The divider plates may take the form of plates forming an extension of the fingers of the needle plate between each pair of which a needle reciprocates and may be mounted on a block on the bed plate beneath the needle plate, or may be plates upstanding from the hook bar.

A tufting machine has a reciprocating needle bar which may be shifted laterally by a drive which includes at least one linear motor. Each linear motor has two major elements which may be coupled together electromagnetically. One of the elements is connected to a fixed portion of the tufting machine and another of the elements is connected to the needle bar. When electrical power is supplied to the motor, the element connected to the needle bar moves relatively to the other thereby moving the needle bar.
