PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bucket conveyor which facilitates oscillating a flexible sheet by an impact received from a supplied article to be conveyed and vibrations generated in a conveyance-direction changing area, and changes a shape of a storage bottom formed of a flexible sheet in response to expansion/contraction of a distance between the tops of the buckets to facilitate reliable and simple discharging highly-adhesive powder and granular article to the outer peripheral side of a chain.SOLUTION: In a bucket conveyor 100, a bucket 130 includes a storage bottom which is formed of a flexible sheet 133 stretched across the tops 130a of the buckets to house an article M to be conveyed, and a rear support frame 134 for integrally attaching a sheet back end part 133b of the flexible sheet 133 and a sheet front end part 133a of the adjacent flexible sheet 133. The flexible sheet 133 is deformably stretched throughout the length of an article storage area formed from the sheet front end part 133a to the sheet back end part 133b. |
