Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for the folding of laundry (20), comprising a frame (11), a first conveyor belt (1) for transporting an item of laundry (20), above which and at a short distance from which a folding ruler (2) is located which extends in the transport direction, a second conveyor belt (3) for a lateral portion of the item of laundry (20) which is next to the folding ruler (2) and at a higher level than the first conveyor belt (1), and air blower means (4) present underneath the second conveyor belt (3) and comprising an air outlet (5) directed laterally across the folding ruler (2).
According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a movable plate (7) that is located underneath the second conveyor belt (3) at a higher level than the folding ruler (2) and that is provided with displacement means capable of moving the plate (7) laterally over the folding ruler (2). This advantageously provides a possibility of folding either with the air outlet (5) or with the movable plate (7), or - inter alia in asymmetrically constructed apparatus - with both these means (7, 71, 51), as desired.
