Universal automatic long sleeve folding device

摘要

A universal automatic long sleeve folding device (10) has a forming plate (20) for carrying a garment (12) spaced vertically above a movable lower product conveyer (54). A movable fold drive belt (34) is vertically displaced above the forming plate to move the garment across the forming plate. The fold drive belt and the lower product conveyor rotate at the same speed. Tucker arm assemblies (88) are disposed on opposite sides of the forming plate to engage the long sleeves (14) of the garment and tuck the long sleeves into a space between the forming plate and the lower product conveyor as the garment moves across the forming plate. The tucked long sleeves are carried by the lower product conveyor.
