Abstract
The carpet loom has pile wires extending warpwise with associated pile yarn transfer hooks for positioning preselected pile yarns over the pile wires for forming pile loops. The pile wires are pivotally mounted so as to be restingly positioned on the base fabric being woven to assure obtaining the desired pile height loop and to avoid undue tensions and stresses in the fabric being woven to assure smooth efficient loom operation. The transfer hooks extend rearwardly with their hook portions positioned substantially in a horizontal plane and inclined downwardly at an acute angle from the horizontal plane. This positional arrangement of the transfer hooks and the associated mechanism for imparting a reciprocatory movement to the transfer hooks permits an uninterrupted reciprocation of the reed to take place as well as the changing of the pile yarn and ground warp shed. This results in a high speed of loom operation of about twice the rate of prior carpet looms.
