Provided is an improved conveyor apparatus having a curved path, in which the radius of curvature of the curved path can be reduced. A conveyor apparatus (1) according to the present embodiment is composed of an incoming-side straight-line conveyor (2), a curved-path conveyor (3), and a outgoing-side straight-line conveyor (5). The curved-path conveyor (3) transports an article along a path that turns approximately 180 degrees. The curved-path conveyor (3) has a roller arrangement area (35) in which a plurality of transport rollers (22a-22j) are arranged in a fan shape, and the base side of the fan shape of the roller arrangement area (35) has a sliding area (36). The center portion of the fan shape of the sliding area (36) has an inner-side guide (17). The transport surface of the roller arrangement area (35) and the sliding area (36) are coplanar. |
