Abstract: In order to mechanically prefabricate fitted elastic bedsheets of such dimensions that the manual work steps still required for completion of the fitted elastic bedsheets can be carried out efficiently in a short time, a device is provided which includes a first conveyor device for a strip of cloth, from which the individual fitted elastic bedsheets are cut. The first conveyor device intermittently draws lengths of the strip corresponding to the cut lengths of the fitted elastic bedsheets from a supply. A cutting device is provided at the end of the first conveyor device. At a right angle to first conveyor device is arranged a second device for the pieces of cloth which are cut by cutting device from strip of cloth.
