Abstract: The invention relates to a folding device (1) for forming folded linen sheets (L), comprising a housing (H) having opposite side walls (W), a rear side (5) and a front side (6), the direction from the rear side (5) to the front side (6) defining a first machine direction of said folding device (1) and a direction perpendicularly thereto, towards one of said side walls (W) defining a second machine direction of said folding device (1), a first conveyor (10) defining a conveying surface for introducing linen sheets (L) in said first machine direction, such as with two opposite edges of said linen sheets (L) generally parallel to said first machine direction, wherein in operation of the folding device (1) said linen sheets (L) are cross-wise folded defining fold lines parallel with said first machine direction and length-wise folded defining fold lines perpendicularly thereto, at least one length-wise folding station (S1, S2) for forming length-wise folded linen sheets (L), characterised in a second machine dire

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (1) for feeding pieces of cloth to a device for treating clothes, said apparatus (1) comprising: one or more sets of spreader clamps (20) arranged to be moveable away from each other for straightening of a fore edge of said pieces of cloth and for delivering said piece of cloth to the conveyor (40). At least one set of spreader clamps is configured for performing a movement between a receiving (M) and a delivery (A) position, where the spreader clamps in the receiving position (M) have a first predetermined orientation relative to the conveyor (40); and wherein the spreader clamps (20) in the delivery (A) position have a second predetermined orientation, where the straightened piece of cloth is essentially in parallel with the conveyor (40). Hereby it is accomplished that the pieces of cloth can be received in the spreader clamps (20) from a random feeding position on the charger station (70).
