Abstract

A device for aligning and cutting a web having a thickness which varies in the longitudinal direction, e.g. a terry cloth with piled portions alternating with pile-free portions. The device comprises a pair of rulers extending across the web and which rulers are adjustable with respect to each other so that either the web can pass freely therebetween or only pile-free portions thereof, seizing- and transferring structure arranged in front of the rulers as seen in the feeding direction of the web and arranged to bring along a piece of cloth from the web and transfer this to a conveyor device and a pulling device for pulling out a desired length of the piece of cloth. For allowing webs of different widths to pass between the aligning rulers these are displaced with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction so that the hemmed longitudinal edges of the pieces of cloth are located outside one end edge of the respective ruler, and that the relative position of the rulers is adjustable to fit pieces of cloth of different widths.
