ABSTRACT:
A hook/looper module assembly for a tufting machine is provided that allows for broken and damaged hooks of a level cut loop tufting machine to be replaced. The hook/looper module assembly includes modular blocks having a series of slots in which a series of hook or looper are received. Locking mechanisms secure the hook/looper within their respective slots in the modules and allows for removal of individual hook/looper from the module as needed for repair and replacement.
