A conveyor apparatus which allows a workpiece to be carried in and out of a desired process and lends itself to easy maintenance as well is provided. A conveyor apparatus 13 includes a first conveyance mechanism 13A capable of carrying a board 7 into a desired process and a second conveyance mechanism 13B capable of carrying the board 7 out of the desired process. The first conveyance mechanism 13A includes a first conveying rod 18 adapted to reciprocate, a first pusher piece 19 fixed to the first conveying rod 18 and configured to protrude from the rod, and a switching mechanism adapted to switch the first pusher piece 19, by turning the first conveying rod 18 a predetermined angle, between an engaged position where the first pusher piece 19 engages with the board 7 and a retracted position where the pusher piece 19 is separated from the board 7, and the second conveyance mechanism 13B includes a second conveying rod 32 adapted to reciprocate, a pusher piece 19 fixed to the second conveying rod 32 and configured to protrude from the rod, and a switching mechanism adapted to switch the second pusher piece 19, by turning the second conveying rod 32 a predetermined angle, between an engaged position where the pusher piece 19 engages with the board 7 and a retracted position where the pusher piece 19 is separated from the board. |
