  • Optimized backing shifter for variable or multi-gauge tufting
    Patent number: 11802359
    Abstract: Backing fabric shifting relative to needles and gauge parts for seizing yarns is utilized in a tufting machine having needle plate fingers or backing support that reciprocates in synchronization with the cycles of the needles to support the backing during penetration of the backing fabric while allowing backing shifts between stitches.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2023
    Assignee: Tuftco Corporation
    Inventors: Paul Beatty, Jason Detty
  • Cut pile looper and hook tufting improvement
    Patent number: 11591734
    Abstract: A tufting machine with a needle bar and looper system provides individual loopers which cooperate with needles of the needle bar selectively between an engage and a disengage configuration whereby when in the engage configuration at least some of the loopers hold yarn directed by the needle through the backing as the needle cycles into and out of the backing to form a first loop having a height of a distance of the looper from the backing, but when in the disengage configuration, the looper is spaced from the yarn so that any loop formed is shorter than the first loop.
    Type: Grant

  • Backing shifter for variable or multi-gauge tufting
    Patent number: 10889931
    Abstract: A shiftable backing feed is utilized with a tufting machine having reciprocating needles and gauge parts for seizing yarns wherein needle plate fingers reciprocate in synchronization with the cycles of the needle bar to support the backing during penetration of the backing fabric yet allow backing shifts between stitches.
