Abstract
A combination cut/loop hook and clip for tufting machines in which the mounting portion of the hook remote from the beak includes a longitudinal groove for receiving the tail portion of the clip. The groove includes a pair of female formations in the form of holes for receiving corresponding male formations on the clip tail portion in a detachable press-fit relationship. The spacing between the formations are such that the crease of the enlarged portion of the clip properly resiliently engages the beak. A worn clip may be readily removed from the hook and replaced by another clip without discarding a useable hook.
