ABSTRACT:
A tufting machine having spaced apart needle modules removably mounted on a needle bar in the tufting machine, the modules having notches at opposite side edges remote from the needles. Each side edge is of a generally half U-shape configuration so that when two modules are mounted side-by-side a substantially U-shape recess is formed at the abutting sides. A clamping plate is secured by a fastener extending through each recess to clamp against the pair of adjacent modules. A cut-out at a central portion of each module at the edge remote from the needles receives a locating member which is adjustably secured to the needle bar, the locating member abutting the edges of the cut-out to precisely locate each module. In another embodiment, a tab formed as part of a gauging bar is temporarily positioned within the recess to locate modules not having the central cut-out. Removal of a module merely requires loosening of the fasteners to permit the module to be slidably retracted, and a replacement module may thereafter be precisely inserted.
