Abstract
A plant for the manufacture of mats formed of continuous yarns originating from bobbins and thrown onto a conveyor belt. The plant includes at least one bobbin supported on a spindle, a guide for guiding a fiber bundle leaving the bobbin, a mechanism for pulling the fiber bundle, and a mechanism for throwing the yarns that make up the fiber bundle onto the conveyor belt. The guide for guiding, the mechanism for pulling, and the mechanism for throwing the fiber bundle are fixed, located in the continuation of one another and at one and a same level. The throwing mechanism includes a swinging arm for throwing the yarn transversely to the conveyor belt and the guide is arranged such that the fiber bundle is paid out from the bobbin from the outside.
