<p>@ The invention relates to the field of cloth pleating machines, and in particular, to a pleating machine for pleating cloth with mutually converging folds. The technical problem to be solved was that of providing a pleating machine which could also work accurately and reliably on highly flabby and/or hard-to-fold fabrics. The problem has been solved by providing a pleating machine (1) having an angularly oscillating arm (4) and an abutment wall (6) for said arm (4), which are configured comb-like to be mutually interleaved, and provided with control and guiding devices for said wall (6) which are operative to drive the same through a cyclic oscillation along a closed path causing said wall (6) to move from a position close against a cloth to be pleated to one of insertion in said arm (4) over and past a cloth flap which has been folded by said arm.</p> |
