For aligning and gripping an edge ( 72 ) of a laundry article ( 70 ), the latter is drawn by a tensioning conveyor ( 34 ) with a tensioning gripper ( 35 ) which has gripped said laundry article at a corner ( 71 ) in a tensioning direction over a narrowing channel ( 43 ), the base ( 44 ) of which is convex in the tensioning direction. Optical sensors arranged on the channel ( 43 ) detect the rear end of the laundry article ( 70 ), which is then gripped by a clamping unit at the end thereof. By lowering the channel ( 43 ), a detectable edge ( 72 ) which slides along a guide plate ( 55 ) is aligned so that it is detected by a sensor ( 58 ) on a first edge gripper ( 56 ) which is then moved downwards along an approximately perpendicularly aligned pivot arm ( 53 ) until the sensor ( 58 ) detects the corner ( 73 ) at the lower end of the edge ( 72 ). After the first corner ( 71 ) has been taken over by a second edge gripper ( 59 ), the pivot arm ( 53 ) is swivelled to a horizontal transfer position and the laundry article ( 70 ), with the detected edge ( 72 ) towards the front, is placed on a removal conveyor, an impact edge being advanced.
