Abstract (en)

An improved looper for tufting machines is proposed which has a stopper (1) for preventing the piles from getting out of the looper and a plate spring butting against the lower edge of the stopper. The stopper has its lower edge (2) formed with an inverted U-shape recess. A tip (10) of cemented carbide is attached to the stopper in the recess. The piles will not get damaged because of the provision of the recess.
