ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for manually tufting rugs in which a fixed needle guides the thread and penetrates the base fabric. A blade is disposed movably in longitudinal direction relative to the needle for cutting the thread after the formation of each loop, at the head of the loop. Two arms are arranged next to each other and guided movably in longitudinal direction for alternately contacting the base fabric with a leading contact surface provided on each of the arms. One of the arms supports the needle which projects from the contacting surface, whereas the other arm supports the blade which projects over the contacting surface. The blade has a mechanism which is engaged with a guiding member of the other arm for opening the blade. The latter is closed by a spring when in substantially its most advanced position. The needle is provided with a curved point bent in the direction of the tufting operation.
