Abstract: An apparatus for the production of a folded non-woven fabric includes a card for making a fiber web of non-woven fabric and a folder for folding the fiber web. To reduce the need of space required for the apparatus, the folder has a transfer table, on which the card is positioned in a way to allow a back and forth movement, a mechanism for moving the card back and forth supported on the transfer table and a feed device allowing a change of distance and position between the card and the fiber feed.
