Abstract

871,970. Folding fabrics. ZEPHYR LAUNDRY MACHINERY CO. July 17, 1958 [July 24, 1957], No. 22994/58. Class 42 (2). A device, for folding moving articles, comprises an article sensing device arranged to control an electrical impulse unit for applying electrical impulses to an electronic counter at one rate per unit of travel of one of the articles, while the article is passing through a fixed position and at a higher rate after the article has passed the fixed position, the electronic counter being arranged to emit an electrical output signal on receiving a predetermined number of the electrical impulses for initiating folding of the article. In the arrangement shown an article 12 to be folded is fed along a belt 10 driven by roller 13. As the leading end of article 12 reaches switch 23 an electric circuit is completed by the switch to start an electronic counter counting at a predetermined rate. When the article has completely travelled under the switch 23 the electric circuit is arranged so that the counter then counts at a higher predetermined rate. When a predetermined total count is reached the electric circuit operates solenoid 16 to move the folding blade 15 so as to tuck the article 12 between the parallel runs of belts 10 and 11 and thereby fold the article. The counting rates are determined in relation to the speed of the belts and the distance of the switch 23 from the blade 15 is so chosen to give the fold in the required place. The total number of counts is proportional to the number of counts per inch of conveyer travel and to the distance between the switch 23 and the blade 15 and independent of the length of the article to be folded. In order to cope with closely following articles a second counter may be provided and the circuit arranged so that the first counter controls the blade 15 in response to alternate articles whilst the second counter controls the blade 15 in response to the articles in between.
