Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for folding garments after the Preamble of claim 1.
  • folding machines For folding garments, especially gowns, patient shirts, Pants or the like find so-called folding machines use. With the folding machines, the garments are folded automatically, and that preferably by successive transverse and longitudinal folding.
  • Known folding machines (DE-C-33 20 381) have conveyors consisting of several Narrow straps exist, which lie next to each other at a slight distance. This creates gaps between the narrow straps. In these cracks may be parts of the garment to be folded, in particular buttons, catch, causing warping of the folded garment or even too Operating faults of the folding machine leads.
  • the invention has the object, a device for To create folds of garments, thus ensuring a good folding quality at more reliable Function of the device is possible.
  • An apparatus for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, at least some conveyors, in particular all conveyors, each with a single over the entire worktop running conveyor belt provided.
  • the Clothing to be folded is thereby on a single, continuous conveyor belt on, which has no gaps, leading to a snagging of the garment. especially buttons of the same, can lead.
  • the (wide) conveyor belts with Provided linear guides are through Management bodies trained on the conveyor belts, with corresponding Guiding members on the drums of the conveyors (tail pulley, drive drum) stay in contact. It takes place as a positive guidance of the straps opposite the drums of the respective conveyor. This exact guidance of the straps improves the folding quality of the garments because they are the folding stations, in particular the Longitudinal folding station, can be fed exactly.
  • the device shown in the figures is a so-called Folding machines 10 for automatic folding of Clothing, in particular gowns, pants or the like.

Subsequently, will the transport bracket 12 folded, up from the gown 11th withdrawn and (as indicated in FIG. 1) conveyed away. After in this way the transport bracket 12 from the coat 11th is pulled out, the smock. 11 in several consecutive Folding stations automatically folded.
  • a Sleeve folding station 15 for folding over both sleeves 16 of the coat 11 behind its middle fuselage 17. Following are two cross folding stations 18 and 19, a longitudinal folding station 20 and another Cross folding station 21. This performs a final fold of the gown 11 through. Thereafter, the folded gowns 11 on a stacking table 22 stacked. Once a stack 23 completed is, this is formed by the designed as a conveyor stacking area 24 of the stacking table 22 passed to a discharge conveyor 25.

  • Each side support plate 34 is hinted by a in Fig. 2 illustrated pressure medium cylinder 36 pivotally in a the support surface of the lay-up conveyor 14 widening Operating position in a downward angled (in the Fig. 2 dash-dotted lines shown) rest position.
  • the side support plates 34 can also be pivoted to the arranged opposite sides of the lay-on conveyor 14 his.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show different stages of operation of the sleeve folding station 15 on one side of the laying-on conveyor 14.
  • the side support plate 34 and the sleeve folding conveyor 26 of the ⁇ rmelfaltstation 15 in a somewhat vertical to the support plane of the lay-on conveyor running position pivoted.
  • An edge of the gown 11 with the corresponding Sleeve 16 hangs on one side of the lay-up conveyor 14 Free down.
  • the side support plate 34 swung up, whereby the bearing surface of the lay-on conveyor 14 is widened to the appropriate width the body portion 17 of the garment 11 and at the same time a central Alignment of the body part 17 to lay-on conveyor 14 and the Side support plate 34 takes place.
  • each first Querfaltstationen 18 and 19 represent.
  • Each of the cross folding stations 18 and 19 will be made up of several cooperating ones Sponsors formed. Both transverse folding stations 18 and 19 have the already mentioned above and to the Lay-on conveyor 14 subsequent.
  • Conveyor 37 This conveyor 37 is at its front end region in the conveying direction 40 covered by a pressure conveyor 41. transverse to the ends of the Conveyor 37 and the An horriners 41 is an intermediate conveyor 42 arranged.
