Abstract
A looper apparatus for a narrow gauge, multiple-needle tufting machine including transversely spaced loopers or hooks having spring clips or looper clips attached thereto and cooperating with knives to form cut pile and loop pile in the same row of stitching, in cooperation with a controlled yarn feed, in which the spring clips span or extend over the cutting zone of the hooks, so that each spring clip will not interfere with the adjacent knife of an adjacent hook.
