ABSTRACT:
A laundry feeder method and apparatus for feeding laundry articles to a spreader apparatus is provided. The feeder allows large king size sheets, as well as other sized laundry articles, to be conveniently readied for spreading by a user. A fixed target is provided on the feeder. The user merely drapes a portion of the laundry article over the fixed target or inserts an edge of the article into a moveable clamp. The moveable clamp then moves along a track to the fixed target for clamping the laundry article. The clamp is then moved away from the fixed target, pulling the laundry article to the spreader, such as the spreader disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,515,627. Multiple fixed targets and associated moveable clamps may be provided to increase the throughput.
