Estimating the term…
A fabric web delivery apparatus is provided with a pivotable and vertically adjustable fabric delivery arm having a driven delivery roller at its outward end and also with an independently reciprocable cuttle arm enabling selective positioning of the delivery arm for disposition of the delivery roller alternatively for feeding a traveling fabric web to the cuttle arm for folding the web in pleats, or for peripheral driving contact with a fabric winding roll of a surface-driven fabric winder, or for guiding a traveling fabric web to a fabric winding roll of an axis-driven fabric winder, or for operation as a support roller for a fabric winding roll of a rising-type fabric winder.
Apparatus for delivering a traveling fabric web to a web-handling location for winding or folding of the web, said apparatus comprising a frame, a delivery arm pivotably mounted on said frame, a driven delivery roller rotatably supported on said delivery arm at a spacing from its pivoted mounting, and a cuttle arm mounted to said frame for reciprocable cuttle motion independently of said delivery arm, said delivery arm being selectively pivotable to a first position for peripheral driving contact with a fabric winding roll of a surface-driven fabric winder for driving said fabric winding roll while applying the traveling fabric web peripherally thereto to wind the fabric web thereabout and a second position feeding the traveling fabric web to said cuttle arm for folding the web in pleats.
