ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making a pillow or blanket case from a textile strip has a vertically movable gripper engageable with one of the end edges of the strip, a support surface generally below the movable gripper, a conveyor defining a horizontal transport direction opening at an upstream end generally at the support surface, and a vertically and horizontally movable plate above the support surface. Respective actuators connected to the gripper and plate are operated by a controller also connected to conveyor for, after securing the one end edge in the gripper with the other end edge secured underneath the plate and with the strip extending from the movable gripper between the plate and the support surface, first pressing the plate downward against the support surface and thereby pressing the other end edge down against a central region of the strip. Then the plate is pushed into the upstream end of the conveyor to form a fold in the central region and press this fold into the conveyor. Thereafter the folded strip is drawn into the conveyor while synchronously lowering the gripper. The longitudinal edges of the strip are stitched together downstream of the conveyor.
