Abstract: Apparatus for spreading and supplying laundered flatwork to an ironer in a squared condition. The apparatus is carried by a single frame. A central main drive belt and a pincher belt above the main drive belt driven by contact therewith extend along the center of the main frame for a portion of the length of the frame. These belts draw the flatwork as supplied over a semi-ovate spreader apron in advance of the main drive and pincher belt. Upper and lower spreader belts diverging at equal angles with respect to the main drive belt and pincher belt extend along each side of the front portion of the machine and provide a pressure nip in substantially the same vertical plane as the pressure nip between the pincher belt and main drive belt.
