ABSTRACT:
A laundry item is seized by an inner, first clamp (14) and an outer second clamp (14') of a clamp pair (13a, 13b) of a spreading-out device (12) and is spread out by displacing the first clamp (14) by means of a belt (15a, 15b) until the second clamp (14') is drawn out of its initial position, which is detected by a position sensor (19a, 19b). After the displacement speed has been reduced and the second clamp (14') has caught up slightly, with the result that the leading edge of the laundry item is relieved of tensioning to some extent, the second clamp (14') is coupled to the belt (15a, 15b). When the first clamp reaches a synchronization sensor (20a, 20b) which is offset with respect to the position sensor (19a, 19b), the width of the laundry item is determined from the difference between the clamp positions. In accordance with this width and the occupancy, monitored by sensors, of a feed conveyor which adjoins the spreading-out device (12), the laundry item is centered with respect to one half of the track of the feed conveyor, or with respect to the entire track of the feed conveyor and set down on said conveyor.
