Patent CA-2687272-A1 (CA)
Title: Linen spreader apparatus and method
Inventor: MCCABE STANLEY G
IPC: D06F71/40
Filed: 2008-05-27
Abstract: An article is selected and spread from a load of articles. A first clamp moves along a run to remove an article. By changing orientation of the run, articles may be removed from different locations. A second clamp rotates while holding the article. The rotation generally flattens out the article. A third clamp grabs a portion of the article and further spreads the article. This process may detangle or untwist the article. The untwisted article is dragged over one or more belts or wheels. The belts or wheels adjust the amount of overhang on each side. A plate lifts or holds a resulting edge. The article is clamped at that edge and dragged over a roller. Resistance, such as by a pinch arm, may assist in untangling the article of laundry as the article is dragged. The roller moves into contact with a conveyor. The conveyor conveys the article to find a leading edge. The article is then conveyed in a spread position. Sensors adjacent the belts or wheels measure a size of the article of laundry. A folder adjusts based on the size.
