Abstract
A tufting machine hook with a spring clip secured at one end to the hook shank is resiliently engaged on a face of the bill by a flag on the clip adjacent the other end. An intermediate portion of the clip is bent so as to be disposed out of the plane of the face engaged and toward the opposite face. In one embodiment the face to which the clip is secured and the face engaged by the flag are on the same side and the free end of the clip is elongated. In the other embodiment the clip is secured to the shank at the opposite side to the face engaged by the flag and the clip is bent to cross the plane of the hook.
