  • Tufting apparatus with yarn pullback mechanism for producing patterned tufted goods
    Patent number: 6202580
    Abstract: Apparatus for feeding yarn from a yam supply to a reciprocating needle of a multi-color pattern carpet tufting apparatus comprises a yarn pullback mechanism mechanically linked to a yarn feeder such that when the yarn feeder moves out of engagement with a driven roller, the yarn pullback mechanism draws the yarn back from the reciprocating needle. When the yarn feeder moves back into engagement with the driven roller, the yarn pullback mechanism shortens the path between the yarn feeder and the reciprocating needle.
