Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9616221A1] In trough mangles with a number of troughs (10) and mangle rollers (11), the laundered articles (14) are normally fed from one trough (10) to the subsequent trough (10) via a fixed bridge between the successive troughs (10) and mangle belts which run around all mangle rollers (11) and the bridge. These mangle belts are prone to breakdowns and leave imprints on the laundered articles (14). To eliminate the drawbacks of the known trough mangles with several troughs (10), a rotating feed drum (16) is arranged between the successive mangle rollers (11). The outer surface (20) of the feed drum (16) can be acted on at least in sections by a vacuum which ensures that the laundered article (14) to be fed is held against at least sections of the outer surface (20) and drawn by the rotating feed drum (16). The invention is intended for use with trough mangles used for pressing still damp laundered articles (14) such as table cloths, bed sheets and coverings, and provided with any desired number of troughs (10) and mangle rollers (11).
