Abstract
Via a textile guide system for flat textile goods, the textile goods are fed by a continuous conveyor to processing stations and the textile web is fed between conveyor elements of the continuous conveyor and a stationary support whereby means is provided to press the textile web against the stationary support and whereby each pressing member has a vertical guide means in which a housing-fixed holding pin engages and apart from the guide means at least one pressing spring means is provided whereby the noise formation is largely suppressed. The vertical guide means is close to the oncoming end of the pressing member approached by the conveyor and the pressing spring means is arranged close to the downstream end of the pressing means.

A feeder for textile articles comprising:
- a support over which textile articles can be fed,
- a horizontal conveyor displaceable along said support for engaging textile articles between said conveyor and said support for displacing said textile articles along said support;
- and
- a plurality of pressing members arrayed horizontally along said support in a direction of displacement of said textile articles therealong for pressing said conveyor against said textile articles and said textile articles against said support, each of said pressing members being formed with:
- a body elongated in said direction and having a center midway of a length of the body in said direction,
- an elongated vertical slot formed in said body at a location spaced from the respective center toward and close to an upstream end thereof, each of said slots being transverse to said direction and said support,
