Abstract
A folding device for folding a sheet of thin material, such as paper, comprises a first sheet holder for holding a first portion of the sheet, a second sheet holder for holding a second portion of the sheet, and a pivoted linkage connecting the first sheet holder to the second sheet holder in such a way as to allow relative movement between them. In use relative movement between the holders causes the sheet to be folded in opposite directions along two lines so as to form a zig-zag shape.
