A method and apparatus for facilitating folding and packing of a parachute into a deployment bag is a planar, semi-rigid, horizontally oriented rectangular fabric panel that is seamed or scored to fold at four or more junctures.

A clothing washing, drying, and folding machine that automates the entire laundry process includes a washing and drying unit and a folding unit. The washing and drying unit has a plurality of pressurized nozzles for directing a cleaning solution, derived from a water feed and a detergent feed, onto articles of clothing. A plurality of heating vents is then used to dry the articles of clothing. The folding unit has a folding machine that is then used to fold the articles of clothing. A clothing track system is utilized to hang the articles of clothing and transfer the articles of clothing from the washing and drying unit to the folding unit. The clothing track system includes a plurality of hanger supports dispersed along a guide rail, wherein each of the plurality of hanger supports may receive a clothing hanger.

A conveyor device for a folding apparatus for folding textiles includes an infeed region for a textile and an outfeed region for a folded textile. A first belt conveyor conveys the textile on a first conveyor plane from the infeed region to a first transfer unit, which feeds the textile to a second conveyor plane of a second belt conveyor. At least one second transfer unit and at least one additional belt conveyor having an additional conveyor plane are disposed downstream of the belt conveyor. At least two subassemblies, each configured as modular conveyor units are provided, into which one belt conveyor and at least one transfer unit are each integrated. The conveyor device is modularly configured, in that a plurality of modular conveyor units are disposed one atop the other and connected to each other.

A method and apparatus that makes provision for two identical folding machines to be arranged one beside the other, and for these to be operated synchronously, so that the large operating width which is necessary for ironing large laundry items, in particular transversely, is also available for folding such laundry items. If large laundry items are to be ironed, and folded, in particular transversely, this requires ironers and folding machines with an appropriately large operating width. Such large operating widths currently cannot be realized technologically in folding machines.

A fabric automatic precise folding device has a rotating mechanism, an automatic folding mechanism and a crease generating mechanism. The automatic folding mechanism is located below the finger cylinder on one side of the rotating mechanism, and the finger cylinder on the other side of the automatic folding mechanism is fixed with a crease generating mechanism. The two rotating cylinders are central symmetrical with the rotating arm. This accurately controls the bending and folding of the fabric sample through the automatic control technology, and realizes the automatic detection of the fabric crease recovery process. By mechanical and numerical control technology, the parts to be measured are effectively prevented from interference by human factors, and the detection accuracy is improved.
