Abstract
An apparatus for clamping individual pieces of textile fabric exiting a fusing machine conveyor 13, for withdrawing the fabrics until the trailing edges thereof clear a photocell sensor 42, and for stacking the fabrics with aligned leading edges on a hinged and vertically movable table 19 includes a withdrawable stacking rake 21 and a cooperable, vertically movable clamping plate 20. The rake and plate comprise a plurality of laterlly spaced, longitudinally oriented prongs 38 and rods 37, respectively, which are relatively staggered such that they may be partially interleaved during operation to clamp a piece of fabric therebetween.
Claims5
Stacking apparatus for stacking sheet-like textile fabrics or the like on top of one another as they exit devices for processing textile fabrics in the manufacture of articles of outer clothing on a feed mechanism (12), which apparatus includes a stacking table (19) mounted to be movable vertically, a movable clamping plate (20) mounted to be pressed towards the stacking table, and a stacking rake (21) disposed between the stacking table and the clamping plate and movable forwards and backwards in the conveying direction of the feed mechanism and onto which the textile fabrics are conveyed by the feed mechanism, in order to be deposited on the stacking table, characterised by:
- the stacking rake comprising a plurality of laterally spaced and longitudinally oriented prongs (38) and the clamping plate defining, on a clamping side thereof, a plurality of laterally spaced and longitudinally oriented recesses (40) located in a working region of the stacking rake prongs and cooperable therewith to grippingly engage textile fabrics, the width of said recesses corresponding at least to the cross-sectional width of said prongs.
