A tufting machine has a yarn feed pattern assembly including a housing
having a mounting plate for mounting a multiplicity of yarn feed rollers
from the exterior of said mounting plate and a multiplicity of servo
motors connected to said mounting plate on the interior of said housing.
Each servo motor is connected to a respective feed roller. A multiplicity
of tubes extend within said housing, half the tubes directing yarn from a
source to respective rollers and half of the tubes directing yarn from
the rollers to respective needles. The guide tubes direct yarn from the
interior of said housing through said mounting plate where the yarn is
trained about a respective roller and directed back into the yarn guide
leading toward the needles of said tufting machine.
