ABSTRACT:
Diaper folder mechanism including a folding board having a minimum number of moving parts in which the diaper folding board is also a pickup board and is mounted for rotation in a circular path. Diaper feed means direct an unfolded diaper into the path of the rotating pickup and folding board. The board carries means for retaining the diaper and means for tucking portions of the diaper inwardly of itself as the diaper is smoothed over the board by apparatus fixedly positioned in the circular path. The board is carried on a spoke or radial support and is oriented relative to the spoke as the spoke and board rotate. This provides for removal of the diaper from the board by transfer means, moving in a path eccentric to the path of travel of the board. The transfer means are operated to permit stacking of the diaper on a movable table in a continuous manner. The provision of a plurality of spokes with a folding board on each leads to high production, that is, in excess of 300 diapers folded per minute. The provision of folding and stacking means for diapers in the same general location, essentially eliminating longitudinal travel, requires a minimum of floor space.
