ABSTRACT:
A needle plate member for a staggered needle tufting machine in which the rear free edge of the needle plate is provided with transversely spaced notches therein for receiving the passage of the front needles while supporting the base fabric being stitched by the front needles and a plurality of rearward projecting forked finger members alternating with the notches and projecting rearward of the rear free edge of the needle plate for receiving the passage of the vertically reciprocable rear needles while supporting the portions of the base fabric stitched by the rear needles. The needle plate member is particularly adapted for use with a separate mechanism for laterally shifting the base fabric in a staggered needle tufting machine to produce dense tufted pile fabric and particularly pile fabric having multiple rows of stitching transversely spaced less than the needle gauge.
