Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0347323A1] The invention relates to a method for automatically gripping two adjacent corners of a flat rectangular cloth and an apparatus for carrying out the method. Any zone of the flat cloth and a first corner are grasped (at 5). Subsequently, the first corner is subjected to a relative movement in relation to the grasping zone in such a way that at least one of the two corners adjacent to the first forms a low point. Finally, the corner which is at the low point is grasped (at 12) and then the grasping zone is released.
