Abstract:
A method and device providing that the corners of a respective laundry item are transferred one by one from a conveyor to spreading clamps of a pair of spreading clamps at the same position in each case. The respective conveyor therefore only requires a single circulatory track. Laundry items in commercial laundries are fed by at least one conveyor to spreading clamps of an input machine. In this case, each corner delimiting a front edge of the laundry item is held by a clamp of the conveyor. The respective conveyor is usually branched, in order for the corners to be transferred at the same time to the two spreading clamps of a pair of spreading clamps. Thus, the respective conveyor must have a branched track system with appropriate switches.

Claim (Index 4):
The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the clamps of the respective conveyor transfer the adjacent corners of the edge of the laundry item delimited by said clamps one after another or in succession to the two spreading clamps of the respective pair of spreading clamps at the same position, wherein preferably the two spreading clamps are driven in alternation to this position for the successive transfer of the respective corner from the clamps of the respective conveyor, which are driven one after another to the position, to the spreading clamps of the respective pair of spreading clamps, which spreading clamps are likewise driven one after another to the position.
