Abstract
An automatic transfer apparatus for delivering textile articles from a first conveyor to a second conveyor; each conveyor moving the articles in separate directions. The apparatus includes an article gripping head mounted for pivotal movement between two positions and a drive mechanism. The apparatus operates such that the article is removed from the first conveyor, subsequently folded in half about its midpoint and deposited on the second conveyor with substantially no horizontal velocity component being imparted to the workpiece in the direction of the first conveyor system.
