Abstract
The present invention relates to a clothes-folding machine comprising: a frame part; a loading part into which clothes are inserted; and a folding part for transferring and folding the inserted clothes, wherein the folding part includes: a vertical folding plate rotating within a predetermined radial range around a first rotary shaft so as to fold the clothes; a horizontal folding plate rotating within a predetermined radial range around a second rotary shaft, which is vertical to the first rotary shaft, so as to fold the clothes; and a link plate, which is linked to the vertical folding plate or the horizontal folding plate and rotates, and thus an area for folding the clothes can be expanded, and even large clothes can be folded.
