Abstract

A method of pattern-aligned stacking of fabric web sections to be cut to the component cuttings of a textile product in accordance with a cutting pattern. The fabric web sections are consecutively impaled on at least one height-adjustable needle row projecting through a stacking table transversely of the fabric running direction, the cutting pattern is laid upon the stacking table, at least two longitudinally adjustable needle rows are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the table to coincide with edge portions of the cuttings to be joined to one another in finishing said textile product. The fabric web sections are then impaled on mutually correlated needle rows along identical transverse lines of the fabric pattern repeat. A stacking table for carrying out the above method and including a table top provided with openings for the needle rows and a height-adjustable transverse support for the needles below said table top. The table top consists of table top strips extending in the running direction of the fabric and defining slots for said needles between themselves, and transverse supports for the needles are located below the table top in a manner enabling them to be shifted…
