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 1):
A method for the transport and/or the spreading of laundry items hanging on clamps, preferably for the purpose of transferring the laundry items to an input machine, wherein the respective laundry item hanging with adjacent corners of an edge in clamps of at least one conveyor is transferred to two spreading clamps of a spreading device of the input machine, comprising transferring the adjacent corners of the laundry item concerned one after the other from the clamps to the two spreading clamps of the spreading device.
