ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for festooning a traveling length of textile fabric or other web-like material comprises a frame supporting a pair of opposed spaced endless conveyor chains across which a plurality of fabric support rods are removably carried by the conveyor chains in succession with one another for supporting an individual festoon of the fabric depending between each successively adjacent pair of the rods. A secondary conveyor arrangement at the fabric entrance end of the frame is operative to temporarily remove each succeeding fabric support rod from the conveyor chains and, after a selected dwell time, to replace each removed rod onto the conveyor chains to control the festooning accumulation of the fabric on the support rods. The upper web carrying run of the conveyor chains extends upwardly and downwardly in a sinuous path of travel over a succession of angularly inclined chain guide flanges, by which the overall length of the web carrying run in relation to the horizontal lengthwise dimension of the festooning apparatus is maximized.
