PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cloth piece folding device capable of preventing deterioration of a conveyor belt by contact with a folding plate and to provide a method for controlling a cloth piece folding device.SOLUTION: The folding device comprises conveyors 12, 13 for conveying a cloth piece Y and a fold device 32 provided with a folding plate 32a. In the fold device 32, the folding plate 32a can be temporarily stopped at a standby position III between a plunging position I closest to the conveyors 12, 13 and a retraction position II most separated from them. Since it is possible to make the folding plate 32a, after it is plunged into the cloth piece Y, wait at the standby position III separated from the conveyors 12, 13, the folding plate 32a and the conveyor belts do not contact directly with each other, and it is possible to prevent deterioration of the conveyor belt by contact with the folding plate 32a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
