ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing compresses to cover wounds comprises a rotary drum on which a muslin strip having folded-over longitudinal edges is cut and folded crosswise, and a longitudinal folding device mounted after the drum. The drum is designed as a suction roll with cutters distributed over its circumference. The drum jacket has suction rails with extensions connected to a tube leading into the drum and connected to a suction pipe. A counterpiece mounted independently of the drum cooperates with the cutters. The longitudinal folding device has at least a two-arm, preferably a three-arm star shaped collector device which rotates around an axis parallel to the drum axis at the same circumferential speed as the drum itself, and the distance between the arms of the collector device corresponds to the size of the compresses folded on the drum. The folding device has also a collector rake for collecting the compresses from the collector device, and two folding plates are slideably mounted between two folding fingers on two folding tracks. At the end of one folding track the compresses are engaged in a clamping device and at the end of the other folding track a stacking finger stacks the folded compresses.
