Abstract
A method and apparatus for transversely folding diapers which includes advancing a series of unfolded diapers along a horizontal path, orbiting a tucker blade for each diaper through said horizontal path to fold the diaper and deliver the now-folded diaper to a vertical path, and displacing the orbit of the tucker blade upwardly out of the horizontal path whenever a defective diaper appears in the series.
