ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for wrapping a napkin about silverware items into a wrapped arrangement involves a worktable within which is provided an upwardly-opening trough for accepting a napkin and silverware items positioned therein. The napkin is automatically placed over the opening of the trough in a spread condition and then silverware items are automatically directed onto the napkin so that the silverware falls to the bottom of the trough thereby positioning the napkin between the silverware and the bottom of the trough. A rotatable blade is positioned within the trough for automatically spinning the napkin and silverware items about the longitudinal axis of the trough until the napkin and silverware items are wound in a wrapped arrangement. The wrapped arrangement is thereafter removed from the trough in preparation of a subsequent napkin-wrapping operation.
