ABSTRACT:
A first belt conveyor (5) and a second belt conveyor (8) form a first transverse folding station (4) having a folding channel (16) formed between folding sides (14; 15) of the belt conveyors (5; 8). If a fault occurs in said folding channel by virtue of the fact that a piece of linen (39) bunches together into a coil and cannot be transported further, this is detected by means of a delivery sensor (38), the belt conveyors (5, 8) are stopped and the second belt conveyor (8) is pivoted outwards about a pivot axle (12) so that the width of the folding channel (16) at its upper end can be increased to at least 80 mm and the piece of linen can be readily removed. Arranged below the folding channel (16) is a third belt conveyor (23) having a folding section (29) which slopes sharply downwards for receiving a piece of linen and belongs to an upper support side (28) which can be pivoted upwards before a second fold carried out with reversal of the direction of movement of the third belt conveyor (23).
