My interpretation of your excerpt: 要のゆるびなき, 真一文字 is: ...the (dancing fan's) pivot is set securely, (easily enabling insertion of the fan) straight into (the fold of the obi)...
My overall interpretation of 舞扇たたむ要のゆるびなき真一文字を帯にたばさむ is :
The dancing fan's pivot is secure, allowing the fan to be inserted straight into the fold of the "obi."
舞扇 = dancing fan
たたむ = fold
要 = pivot; the main point; the key (to) - pivot (of a folding fan-please see website)
真一文字 = (ma-ichimonji) straight, as the crow flies
真一文字 = in a straight line (http://www.sanabo.com/words/archives/2000/04/post_1521.htm)
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/扇子
要 = かなめ。扇を開く際に根本で止めるもの。扇子の要は、金属やプラスチック、鯨ひげなどで骨を束ねている。この部位が壊れると扇子としての用をなさなくなるため、最も重要な部分である。ここから、「肝心要」の語源となった。
