Abstract
A backing material shift system for controlling movement of a backing material through a tufting machine includes spaced, first and second backing feed roll assemblies each carrying a series of reduced length backing feed rolls. The backing feed rolls are connected in series, with their opposite ends being supported by a series of roll stabilizing blocks. The backing feed roll assemblies are slidably supported along the frame of the tufting machine and are movable or shiftable across the tufting zone of the tufting machine in a direction transverse to the path of travel or feeding of the backing material through the tufting machine by operation of a backing material shifter.
