Abstract:
A method and device for directly determining the region of the respective laundry item to be inserted into a clamp. In this way, it is possible to determine whether the clamp has actually been loaded with a laundry item and whether the region of the laundry item designated for this has also been properly inserted into the clamp. During the transport and the spreading out of laundry items being washed it is customary at commercial laundry establishments to hang the laundry items from clamps, which are transported further by a conveyor to various processing stations. It happens that the clamps may move away before having been loaded with the laundry item. This results in operational disruptions in most cases.

Claim (Index 2):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein it is ascertained directly, by detection of at least one location ( 28 ) of the region of the laundry item ( 10 ) having been inserted into the clamp ( 11 ), whether the region of the laundry item ( 10 ) is present in the clamp ( 11 ), in particular, whether it is correctly introduced in the clamp ( 11 ).
