摘要： For automatic gripping of a corner (71) of a laundry article (70) the latter is drawn over a support surface by a positioning gripper and is set down there so that the rearmost tip comes to rest on an edge plate (17) and the remainder on a transverse conveyor (16) which moves the laundry article (70) transversely to a corner gripping apparatus (12). The latter is then moved transversely to the edge plate (17), optical sensors (32) located above said edge plate registering edge points of the laundry article (70). For determining the position of the corner (71), interpolation is then effected between those registered edge points which are closest to a front gripping edge (27) of the edge plate (17) whereupon the corner gripping apparatus (12) approaches the tip determined and a corner gripper (24) is advanced from the gripping edge (27) so that a lower jaw (25) thereof grips under the edge plate (17). An upper jaw is then lowered onto the corner (71) of the laundry article (70). The corner gripper (24) is then withdrawn behind the gripping edge (27) so that the corner (71) is clamped between the upper jaw (26) and the lower jaw (25) of the corner gripper (24).

摘要： A first belt conveyor (5) and a second belt conveyor (8) form a first transverse folding station (4) having a folding channel (16) formed between folding sides (14; 15) of the belt conveyors (5; 8). If a fault occurs in said folding channel by virtue of the fact that a piece of linen (39) bunches together into a coil and cannot be transported further, this is detected by means of a delivery sensor (38), the belt conveyors (5, 8) are stopped and the second belt conveyor (8) is pivoted outwards about a pivot axle (12) so that the width of the folding channel (16) at its upper end can be increased to at least 80 mm and the piece of linen can be readily removed. Arranged below the folding channel (16) is a third belt conveyor (23) having a folding section (29) which slopes sharply downwards for receiving a piece of linen and belongs to an upper support side (28) which can be pivoted upwards before a second fold carried out with reversal of the direction of movement of the third belt conveyor (23).

摘要： A laundry article is drawn by a tensioning conveyor with a tensioning gripper which has gripped said laundry article at a corner in a tensioning direction over a narrowing channel, the base of which is convex in the tensioning direction. Optical sensors arranged on the channel detect the rear end of the laundry article, which is then gripped by a clamping unit at the end thereof. A detectable edge which slides along a guide plate is aligned so that it is detected by a sensor on a first edge gripper which is then moved downwards along an approximately perpendicularly aligned pivot arm until the sensor detects the corner at the lower end of the edge. Subsequently, the pivot arm is swiveled to a horizontal transfer position, and the laundry article with the detected edge is placed on a removal conveyor, an impact edge being advanced.

摘要： A clamp (11) for gripping an individual piece of linen has two jaws (17a,b) which point in a hook shape towards one another and end in rectangular clamping surfaces (20a,b), which in each case have a depth of between 1 mm and at most 5 mm, preferably between 2 mm and 3 mm, between a front clamping edge (19a;b) and a rear edge (21). The front surfaces (20a;b) of the jaws (17a,b) are in the form of contact surfaces having a high coefficient of friction. Mounted on the inside of one jaw (19b) is a strip (22) which projects beyond its clamping surface (20b) and whose front forms a contact surface (23) extending at least to the other clamping surface (20a). A separator moreover has a gripper which grips pieces of linen in a container and moves to a transfer position where a piece of linen (27) is accepted by the clamp (11). Said piece of linen is clamped between a first gripper jaw (24), which forms an opposite surface (26) parallel to the contact surface (23), and the contact surfaces and, when the clamp (11) closes, is pushed between its clamping surfaces (20a,b) and—owing to the small distance of the clamping edges (19a,b) from the contact surface (23)—only one layer at a time is gripped.

摘要： For aligning and gripping an edge (72) of a laundry article (70), the latter is drawn by a tensioning conveyor (34) with a tensioning gripper (35) which has gripped said laundry article at a corner (71) in a tensioning direction over a narrowing channel (43), the base (44) of which is convex in the tensioning direction. Optical sensors arranged on the channel (43) detect the rear end of the laundry article (70), which is then gripped by a clamping unit at the end thereof. By lowering the channel (43), a detectable edge (72) which slides along a guide plate (55) is aligned so that it is detected by a sensor (58) on a first edge gripper (56) which is then moved downwards along an approximately perpendicularly aligned pivot arm (53) until the sensor (58) detects the corner (73) at the lower end of the edge (72). After the first corner (71) has been taken over by a second edge gripper (59), the pivot arm (53) is swivelled to a horizontal transfer position and the laundry article (70), with the detected edge (72) towards the front, is placed on a removal conveyor, an impact edge being advanced.

摘要： To fold a piece of linen (5) to a very small final dimension, for example a bed sheet to 9nullnull6null, said piece of linen is kept constantly under pressure after final folding until it has been fixed in a storage position, in order to prevent opening of said final fold. This can be effected by pushing it during final folding by means of a folding sword into a receptacle (20), from where it is pushed by means of a ram (26) onto a stacking line (27) where its outer surfaces each rest against a corresponding outer surface of an adjacent piece of linen (5null) or another stop surface formed by slides (31a,b) or a pressure plate (33), so that it is fixed in its final configuration. Alternatively, the piece of linen can be fed, while maintaining pressure on the outer surfaces, to a packing apparatus and surrounded there by a strip of packaging material.

摘要： A laundry article is drawn over a support surface by a positioning gripper and is set down there so that the rearmost tip comes to rest on an edge plate and the remainder on a transverse conveyor which moves the laundry article to a corner gripping apparatus. The latter is then moved to the edge plate, optical sensors located above said edge plate registering edge points of the laundry article. The position of the corner is determined whereupon the corner gripping apparatus approaches the tip determined and a corner gripper is advanced from the gripping edge so that a lower jaw thereof grips under the edge plate. An upper jaw is then lowered onto the corner of the laundry article. The corner gripper is then withdrawn so that the corner is clamped between the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the corner gripper.

摘要： A laundry item is seized by an inner, first clamp (14) and an outer second clamp (14') of a clamp pair (13a, 13b) of a spreading-out device (12) and is spread out by displacing the first clamp (14) by means of a belt (15a, 15b) until the second clamp (14') is drawn out of its initial position, which is detected by a position sensor (19a, 19b). After the displacement speed has been reduced and the second clamp (14') has caught up slightly, with the result that the leading edge of the laundry item is relieved of tensioning to some extent, the second clamp (14') is coupled to the belt (15a, 15b). When the first clamp reaches a synchronization sensor (20a, 20b) which is offset with respect to the position sensor (19a, 19b), the width of the laundry item is determined from the difference between the clamp positions. In accordance with this width and the occupancy, monitored by sensors, of a feed conveyor which adjoins the spreading-out device (12), the laundry item is centered with respect to one half of the track of the feed conveyor, or with respect to the entire track of the feed conveyor and set down on said conveyor.

摘要： The folding apparatus for automatic folding of flatwork includes a longitudinal folder and a transverse folder following thereafter. In the transverse folder there are two laundry conveyors disposed one behind the other in the conveying direction of a flatwork article arriving from the longitudinal folder. They are spaced apart by a gap stretching essentially across the entire width of the transverse folder. To make a first transverse fold using a folding blade or air blast, a flatwork article to be transversely folded is led into the gap. Prior to this step, the thickness of the flatwork article to be folded is entered into a data entry device or is determined using a measuring device. The width of the gap is adjustable, depending upon the particular thickness of the flatwork article. In this manner optimal conveying along the gap is achieved of a flatwork article having a first transverse fold, independent of thickness. A further laundry conveyor is disposed at the exit end of the gap and the course of its belts located in the area of the said gap end can be changed by adjusting an adjustment roller. Following the making of a second transverse fold, the belts can be lowered in the said area, by which the flatwork article can reach the output location without having to queue up at a narrow point.
