ABSTRACT:
An existing tying machine (20) is modified by the addition of components to produce a self contained automatic laundry tie-out station (210). The components for the modification include a linear slide support yoke frame (22), attached on top of the component mounting platform (24) having a pneumatic linear slide unit (34) mounted on top. A hanger slide shaft assembly (220or220a) is attached to the linear slide unit which retains a selected group of hangers with laundered clothing (36′). Gravity conveyer feed lines are aligned with the hanger slide shaft (230) and a pneumatic system operates the slide unit with controls integrated into the tying machines existing electrical system. The hangers are drawn into the tying machine where they are bunched together and bound with a twist tie and then returned to the gravity laundry conveyer system. After the tying is completed a remote signal releases the bound hangers.
