Abstract

A cloth-laying machine comprising a laying carriage adapted for reciprocating movement over a cloth-laying surface. A supply of a cloth web on a roll is supported on the laying carriage, and a driving member is provided to entrain a free end of the cloth hanging from the roll, regardless of which side of the roll the cloth may be hanging from. The driving member entrains the end of the cloth web and guides it into a gap between a deflecting roller and an unwinding roller, the latter roller being provided to lay the cloth over a cloth-laying surface.
