ABSTRACT:
A tufting machine having opposed loopers for forming a variety of tufted fabrics is disclosed. A needle passes a yarn through a backing and a loop pile looper engages the yarn to form a loop. A cut pile looper is angled down so the bill of the cut pile looper is aligned with, adjacent to, and above the bill of the loop pile looper. In this position, the yarn can be tightened to cause the loop to transfer to the cut pile looper and be cut, or the yarn can be left slack so the loop will be released and remain as a loop. The backing fabric is angled up immediately past the needle, allowing space for operation of the cut pile looper, and assisting the loop to move out of the vicinity of the loopers. By variation of the cut pile looper, and variation of yarn feed by a conventional pattern mechanism, different heights of cut pile can be provided; by selectively tensioning the yarns, patterns of cut and loop pile can be provided; and, by varying yarn feed with a conventional pattern mechanism, different heights of loop pile can be provided.
