CONTAINER RAISING/LOWERING CONVEYANCE APPARATUS

摘要

In a container raising/lowering conveyance apparatus according to the present invention, at least two lifting raising/lowering bodies (65A and 65B) corresponding respectively to two parallel side surfaces of an article-conveyance container (C) having a planar shape which is a right-angled parallelogram are supported so as to be capable of being raised and lowered, and capable of being moved closer to and away from each other. Support units (67a) which respectively face the two parallel side surfaces of the container (C) are attached to each of the lifting raising/lowering bodies. In each of the support units (67a), pairs of pin-shaped supporting implements (76a and 76b) which protrude towards the container (C) side at symmetrical positions at both sides of a vertical center line of each of the two parallel side surfaces of the container (C) are arranged and supported at suitable intervals in a vertical direction. Each of the pin-shaped supporting implements is capable of extending and retracting, and is impelled into and held in a protruded position by a spring. Pairs of pin-shaped supporting implements (76a) having a narrow interval therebetween and pairs of pin-shaped supporting implements (76b) having a broad interval therebetween are arranged alternately in the vertical direction.
