ABSTRACT:
A garment stacker, having a plurality of conveyor belt assemblies, is attached to a worktable. Each assembly has two conveyor belts with one end of each sharing a common axis. All of the conveyor belts are provided with a plurality of flexible cleats for engaging the garment. One of the belts in each assembly is movable between a position away from the worktable, and a position near the worktable, where the cleats will engage a garment deposited on the worktable and pull it toward the other belt. The other belt in each assembly is nearly vertical and is positioned adjacent to a parallel slide. The garment is fed by the first belt into the space between the slide and the cleats on the vertical belt, which engage the garment and move it up the slide. The garment is then discharged over the top of the slide and onto a door. When the door is opened, the garment is dropped onto other garments, while maintaining its orientation so as to form a stack of oriented garments.
