Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2113606A2] The method involves determining a sorting criterion e.g. color and/or structure, on items of linen hanging from a transportation device (11) by image recognition. The image recognition is carried out in a darkened region along the transportation device during continuous onward transportation of the respective item of linen. The items of linen are individually transferred to a distributor conveyor (57) via an intermediate conveyor (56) after determining the criterion. The items of linen are moved away from the distributor conveyor by compressed air. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for singling out items of linen (2) a method for transferring an individual item of linen to a conveyor (3) a device for singling out items of linen, comprising a sensor (4) a device for transferring an item of linen to a subsequent conveyor, comprising a gripper (5) a device for sorting items of linen to be washed, comprising a transportation device.
