    摘要: The invention relates to apparatus for folding diapers (1)and like articles, in which apparatus the article is advanced to a folding station by means of a conveyor (2). The folding station includes a driven folding roll (4) which co-acts with a counter roll (9) in a manner to feed the article to at least one driven transport roll (11,12). The transport roll guides the forward end (10) of the article (1) onto the cylindrical surface of a folding roll (16,17), co-acting with the folding roll (4) and intended, in a first folding phase, to be driven in a first transport direction through a given distance up to­wards the upper part of the folding roll and, during a second folding phase, to be driven in the opposite direction (A) and move the forward part of the article down from the afore­mentioned upper part. The folding roll is provided with a folding finger arrangement (7) intended for pressing a central part of the article into the nip between the folding roll and the transport roll (12) located therebeneath during the second folding phase.
