Fabric spreader - has free running angled belt or cord loop units in friction contact with fabric on supporting spreader roller

摘要

The appts. to guide and spread moving fabric piecegoods has at least one continuous loop unit for each side of the fabric, in friction contact with the material and angled away from its direction of travel, has a continuous belt (10) or cord unit for each loop. The loop units (10), with their free-running continuous belts or cords (16), diverge symmetrically from the line (L) of travel, to be driven by the fabric (B) at a movement (K) with an outward angled component (K2). ADVANTAGE - The appts. is simple, and gives an effective spreading action and correction to the line of fabric travel.
