Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A cross-lapping device for cross-lapping a web onto a receiving surface to form folds in said fleece, which includes a reciprocable carriage having a feeding table and calendar rollers between which the web is fed and is crosslapped, whereby said web is folded at each end of movement of said reciprocating carriage to form folded edges, blade wheel means at opposite ends of said carriage between said calendar rollers and the end of said carriage to direct a current of air onto the folded edge at each end of the travel of said carriage, and drive means to drive said blade wheel means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
