ABSTRACT:
This apparatus for separating wet laundry articles (e.g., bed sheets) has an air cylinder-operated entry clamp which picks up a pile of such articles outside the entry end of the apparatus and lifts them into the apparatus, an entry conveyor which helps move the laundry articles into the apparatus, a lower conveyor which receives the laundry articles after they are dropped by the entry clamp and carries them toward the opposite end of the apparatus, a curved baffle plate against which the laundry articles on the lower conveyor pile up at the opposite end, an air cylinder-operated separator clamp which moves up-and-down and back-and-forth substantially along the centerline of the lower conveyor and picks up the laundry articles piled against the baffle plate and then drops them onto the lower conveyor, removal clamps which move up past the opposite side edges of the baffle plate and pick up individual laundry articles and carry them up and back toward the entry end of the apparatus, an exit conveyor running horizontally cross-wise above the lower conveyor for receiving the laundry articles after they are dropped by the removal clamps, and a motor-driven roller next to the exit conveyor for depositing the lower parts of these articles onto the exit conveyor.
