Apparatus for conveying a textile product
First Claim
1. Apparatus for conveying a textile Product from an upstream station to a downstream station, in particular for delivering a textile product into a package, said apparatus comprising:
- drive means driving a first telescoping belt means comprising a first belt part of which extends in a first direction between a downstream station and an upstream station., said first telescoping belt means further comprising a first front end facing said downstream station, said first belt being guided around said first front end which is arranged for movement back and forth either backwards towards said upstream station or forwards towards said downstream station;
second telescoping belt means comprising a second belt part of which extends in said first direction parallel to said part of said first belt, said second telescoping belt means further comprising a second front end facing said downstream station, said second belt being guided around said second front end which is arranged for movement back and forth;
whereinsaid first and second belts are arranged at such a distance from each other that a textile product may be conveyed between both belts while being enclosed between both belts;
said first and said second front ends are arranged for synchronous motion back and forth in said first direction; and
said drive means is controlled such that said first and second belts are not driven when said first and second front ends are moved simultaneously backwards in said first direction, thereby releasing said textile product.

Abstract
An apparatus for conveying a textile product from an upstream to a downstream station, especially for delivery into a package, has an endless conveyor belt driven by a drive and a pressure unit, the textile product being conveyed while held in a gripped manner between conveyor belt and pressure unit. To achieve rapid conveyance of the textile product without thereby impairing it, it is proposed that the conveyor belt be configured as a first telescoping belt, the front end of which, facing the downstream station, can move back and forth in the direction of the downstream station while the pressure unit follows this motion synchronously; and that the drive be controlled so that the belt of the telescoping belt is not driven as the front end moves back from the downstream station, and thereby rolls off the textile product.
