DEVICE AND METHOD IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHAPING OF A HEM ON A FABRIC
Device in connection with the shaping of a single or double hem on a fabric (40), which device comprises a first and a second endless, driven belt, which belts are arranged to feed the fabric forward in the device, on a horizontal feed support (10). According to the invention, said second belt is constituted by a belt (18) which can be variably angled in the horizontal plane, in relation to the first belt (12), such that the second, variable angle belt (18) and the first belt (12) converge in the feed direction (14) of the fabric, the device also comprising means (26) for controlling an angle (a) between the second, variable angle belt and the first belt, so that a width of said hem is adjustable by choice of a magnitude of the angle. The invention also relates to a method of forming a hem.
