MACHINE FOR SPREADING OUT AND LOADING FLAT CLOTHING ARTICLES

摘要

The machine comprises a conveyor belt (30) and loading clamps (24a) which receive contiguous corners (Al) of a flat clothing article (A) manually loaded by an operator (P) in a loading station (1) and transfer them to spreading clamps (4a). Each loading clamp (24a) has a loading jaw (51) driven by an actuator (52) and an auxiliary loading jaw (53) with yielding and recovery capacity to catch parts of the corner (Al) against opposite sides of a loading support (50), and an air blowing nozzle (55) producing an airflow capable of pushing a portion of corner (Al) released from the auxiliary loading jaw (53) and introducing it between jaws of a corresponding spreading clamp (4a) driven by an actuator (58) for catching the portion of corner (Al) previously released.
