ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for feeding flatwork to a laundry processing unit, for instance an ironing roller. The apparatus includes a conveyor belt at its front end and a spreading arrangement including a rail having a pair of carriages movable transversely to a longitudinal direction of the apparatus. The apparatus includes operator-activated insertion devices placed on the side of the rail opposite the belt. The carriages include drives for moving the carriages away from each other and clamps positioned symmetrically with respect to a middle of the belt. The insertion devices include elevators in which the article is inserted in a pair or clamps on a slide, movable along the rail. The flatwork articles are transferred from the spreading arrangement to the ironer by inserting the corners in the elevator clamps and transferring these to the carriage clamps which spread the flatwork and transfer this to the belt and into the ironer.
