Abstract
Mounting blocks for carrying a plurality of tufting machine gauge parts have a body member including a pair of elongated space flanges between which a gauge part retainer is positioned. The retainer includes a plurality of slots for receiving the mounting portions of the gauge parts transversely to the elongated direction. The slots open into a channel in the retainer which receives a clamping member for securing the gauge parts in the retainer and the retainer within the body member. The body member may also include an elongated channel opening onto the channel of the retainer so that a portion of the clamping member is in each channel, or the channel in the body member may open onto the retainer surface opposite to that in which the retainer channel is formed, in which case a clamping member is received in each channel.
