Fig. 14 shows a bottom plan of the templet or former over which the edges of the fabric are folded, Fig. 13 a transverse section of the templet' in its raised position, and Fig. 2 some of the folder-plates. The templet comprises the plates 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Each of the plates 6, 7 is secured to a plate 14 adjustable by means of a slot and screw 17 on a block 16, which slides in a diagonal slot 19. The plates 8, 9 are adjustably carried on blocks 21 which slide in longitudinal slots 22. The blocks 21, 16 are connected by projections 26, which allow of the lateral movement of the blocks 16 due to the inclination of the slots 19. The plates 10, 11 are fixed. The blocks 21 have connections to a crank disc 32, by which the templet is expanded and contracted. On the templet being contracted and raised after the folding and pressing are completed, the blank 36 is lifted off the bedplate by the fixed edge 10, 11, as shown in Fig. 13. The four side folder-plates 37, of which three are shown, are carried by blocks 41, and the four end folder-plates 45, of which one is shown, are carried by blocks 49, which are adjustable on the blocks 41 by screws 53 and holes 54. Each connected pair of blocks 41, 49 receives its folding movement from two crank-pins 82, the cranks being carried by shafts which are geared together and rotated simultaneously through about 90‹. In order to fold square corners so that the blanks, when placed together, will interlock, the crank-pins which operate the blocks at one corner are set 90‹ in advance of those at the opposite corner, so that at one corner the end edge is folded last, and at the other the side edge. The blocks 41 are laterally adjustable by screws 69 engaging the crank-pin sleeves 67. The end folder-blocks 49 overhang and reinforce the side folder-plates. The plates are formed with slots 73 to take the fulness of the fold during the folding operation. Brackets projecting over the folder-blocks act as stops to limit the upward motion of the usual presserplate.
