Abstract
A machine (1) for spreading fabric on a spreading plane (2) includes a carriage (3) that is movable on the spreading plane, the carriage has an unwinding system (6) for unwinding the fabric; an inclined chute arranged below; a cutting system (11) for cutting the fabric, arranged at a lower end (12) of the chute; and a movement system (35) for moving the unwinding system between a first and a second unwinding operating configuration. In the first configuration, a first end (14) of the unwinding system is vertical to the chute (10) and in the second configuration, the first end (14) is in an advanced position towards the cutting head (13).
Claims15
A machine for spreading fabric on a spreading plane, comprising a carriage that is movable on the spreading plane with rectilinear forward-backward motion along a spreading direction, the carriage comprising:
- an unwinding system comprising at least a first member adapted to set into rotation a roll of fabric so as to unwind the fabric;
- an inclined chute arranged at a lower level of at least one portion of the first member,
- a cutting system for cutting the fabric, arranged at a lower end of the chute and comprising a cutting head,
- wherein the unwinding system has a first end and a second end proximal to and distal from said cutting system, respectively, said first end being adapted, in use, to drop unwound fabric downwards,
- wherein said carriage comprises a movement system adapted to move said unwinding system between at least a first unwinding operating configuration and a second unwinding operating configuration, and
- wherein, in said first configuration, said first end of the unwinding system is vertical to said chute and in said second configuration, said first end is located in a position closer to the vertical to said cutting head with respect to the first configuration.
