<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust device which can exhaust an article transported from the upstream side to the downstream side with changing the transportation direction and at low speed after deceleration.SOLUTION: The exhaust device is a device which transfers a pouch 4 transported by a transport device 13 at the upstream side to a carry-out line 18 at the downstream side. A pressing plate 51 extending in the horizontal direction is fitted to a chain 50 through a link mechanism 75. The proceeding direction of an article is changed by 90 degrees by proceeding of the pressing plate on a circular movement trace along a sprocket 57. By action of the link mechanism, the posture of the pressing plate is gradually laid down from a standing state orthogonal to the circular direction as the pressing plate moves from the sprockets to the straight part. Accompanied with this, transportation speed of the pouch by the pressing plate is decelerated.</p> |
