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 6):
A device for the transport and/or the spreading of laundry items hanging on clamps, preferably for the purpose of transporting laundry items hanging on clamps to an input machine, comprising at least one conveyor, which has at least one circulating track running along its conveying section, on which can run successive clamps, each for one corner of the laundry item concerned, wherein the at least one track is led to the input machine for transferring adjacent corners of an edge of the respective laundry item to spreading clamps of at least one pair of spreading clamps of the input machine, wherein the clamps assigned one after another to the track can be driven along and/or past a respective spreading clamp of the pair of spreading clamps.
