Cloth spreading apparatus

摘要

A cloth spreading apparatus for spreading superimposed layers of cloth on a plurality of tables which are connected together side-by-side, the superimposed layers of cloth being in correct alignment with each other. The apparatus includes a cloth laying machine supported on the working surface of the tables for side-to-side traversing movement. As the machine moves from side to side, it will deposit a plurality of superimposed layers of cloth on the tables. The cloth laying machine includes a frame having a front portion normally disposed adjacent a front edge of the tables. The apparatus further includes guide means for guiding the cloth laying machine. The guide means includes a plurality of cylindrical rods, dowels which align the guide rods in end-to-end relationship, and a rail assembly which is rigidly interconnected with the guide rods and with front legs of the tables. The guide means additionally includes a pair of spaced apart horizontally disposed linear bearings mounted on the guide rods and support means interconnecting the bearings with the front portion of the frame of the cloth laying machine.
