Abstract (en)
[origin: US2022380970A1] Laundry items are spread out by input machines having loading stations with a belt conveyor. The laundry item is placed on a front region of the belt conveyor and pulled further onto the belt conveyor. It is necessary to smooth the laundry item upstream of the belt conveyor using a smoothing machine, which can hinder the pulling of the laundry item onto the belt conveyor. The invention provides a pivotable smoothing means which is in an inactive position for initially pulling the laundry item onto the belt conveyor and is pivoted into an active position only after the laundry item has been initially pulled onto the lower belt conveyor. The laundry item is placed on the smoothing means only after it has been initially pulled onto the lower belt conveyor. Thus, when the laundry item is initially pulled onto the lower belt conveyor, it is prevented from slipping down therefrom.
