Abstract
Textile material is transferred by an upstream conveyor to a downstream belt conveyor such that a front end of the material rests on the downstream conveyor and a rear end thereof rests on the upstream conveyor. The upstream conveyor is displaced relative to the downstream conveyor such that the upstream conveyor passes over the downstream conveyor in a manner causing the material to be folded about a transverse fold line and deposited onto the downstream conveyor. The downstream conveyor is actuated to transfer the folded textile material to a folding mechanism.
