METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CLOTH ZIGZAG FOLDED MUTUALLY TO INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND FOLDER FOR EXECUTING SAID METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To form an even number or an odd number of folded parts in every cloth by separating a cloth the same in length at least from one belt-shaped material and severally drawing out it at intervals, and forming it into a series having overlapped parts and folding it in a zigzag shape. CONSTITUTION: Belt materials 2, 3 are supplied to a folding device at the same speed, and cut into plural pieces of cloths 12, 13 by lateral cutting devices 11, 13 with phases mutually shifted as much as 180 deg., and drawn out at intervals by drawing out devices 17, 37 having relatively slow peripheral speed, and shiftedly overlapped as long as L1 so as to form even number of folded parts by a shiftingly overlapping device 44, and a series is thereby formed. Next the overlapped series is folded by a pair of folding rollers 45, 45 so that each of clothes 12, 13 may be folded in four, and turns into an overlapped body 100 in a checked section 46. Thus the cloth having even or odd folded parts, and moreover a face towel or a toilet paper towel severally having an adjustable desired length can be manufactured.
