Abstract
A looper module for tufting machines in which loop pile tufts of yarns are formed in a backing material in a chained stitch formation includes a module body. The module body generally includes slotted openings in which a series of looper assemblies are received, and further can include a looper support section that projects upwardly from the module body. Each looper assembly can include a primary looper having loop pile looper and pattern looper portions. First and second transfer loopers are attached to the body of the primary looper and generally can include throat portions extending toward the primary looper for the transfer of loops of yarns thereto.
