The present invention relates to an equipment for folding a web along concentric circular arcs. It is characterised in that it comprises two series (1, 2) of feedable cam-shaped folding means (3), the cams (3) of the two series (1, 2) being spaced apart a distance which is approximately twice the distance between the fold locations (5) on said web (4), that said cams (3) of one series (1) are arranged to act against one side of said web (4), while said cams (3) of the other series (2) are arranged to act against the other side of said web (4), said cams (3) of the two series (1, 2) being offset a distance equalling the distance between two neighbouring fold locations (5) on the web (4), and that, over a distance whose length corresponds to the web length for a plurality of folds, said cams (3) of the two series (1, 2) are arranged to increasingly overlap each other such that a plurality of folds are simultaneously being formed as said web (4) is fed between said cams (3). |
