ABSTRACT:
A cloth feed apparatus for a cloth spreading machine adapted to travel reciprocably and longitudinally over a cloth spreading table in order to spread successive layers of cloth, from a cloth supply roll mounted transversely of the machine. The cloth feed apparatus includes a first belt feeder device swingably mounted below the cloth supply roll and biased into constant engagement with the cloth roll for feeding a web of cloth from the roll. A second belt feeder device is mounted beneath the first belt feeder device for receiving a web of cloth from the first belt feeder device and for feeding the web to a discharge station at one end of the spreading machine for deposit upon the spreading table as the machine moves longitudinally of the table. The cloth feed apparatus made in accordance with this invention provides substantially tensionless feeding of the cloth web from the machine to the spreading table, and without the necessity of manually threading the cloth web on the machine. The cloth feed apparatus made in accordance with this invention is particularly adaptable for a turntable-type machine capable of two-way spreading, or, alternatively, one-way spreading.
