ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of advancing substantially rectangular pieces of cloth to a cloth treatment apparatus, such as a rotary ironer, whereby the piece of cloth is initially spread out and advanced in its spread-out state and at a given rate of conveyance between a subjacent conveyor and a superjacent conveyor that abut on the subjacent conveyor; and whereby folded edges, if any, on the frontmost and/or the rearmost border(s) of the piece of cloth, seen in the direction of conveyance of the subjacent conveyor, are completely or partially straightened in the plane of the piece of cloth prior to the piece of cloth entering said cloth treatment apparatus. The invention is characterised in that at least one of the folded edges on the front border and/or the rear border of the piece of cloth are completely or partially straightened by accomplishing, at least briefly, a difference in the respective rates of conveyance between the superjacent and the subjacent conveyors whereby the folded edge(s) are straightened due to the friction and the difference in rates of conveyance of the piece of cloth between the subjacent and/or the superjacent conveyor(s). The invention further relates to an apparatus for exercising the method.
