Research notes

This is a utility model from the same moment as CN104562491A (Dec 2014) for automating the hand tufting gun. "枪刺" (gun-stabbing) is the Chinese industry word for hand-gun tufting, used by the hand-tufted carpet trade. The English rendering Google gives is "Handmade carpets bayonet all-digital intelligent robots". Verified Oct 2026 by web search only. patents.google.com and Espacenet could not be opened from the sandbox, so I did not read the document itself. The number, Chinese title and date come from a Google Patents sitemap listing as summarised in a search result. I did not see the applicant, and whether it shares applicants with CN104562491A is unverified. Research note (Oct 2026): found through search results; the patent document itself wasn't opened. The Patent drawings job fetches the document from Google Patents; if drawings appear on this record, the number is confirmed.
