<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an accumulating apparatus in which a mechanism which change a distance between an upper roller and a lower roller is downsized. <P>SOLUTION: The accumulating apparatus 4 has an upper arm 51 in which the plurality of upper rollers 511 are arranged, and a lower arm 52 in which the plurality of lower rollers 521 are arranged. An upper gear 61 is fixed to the upper arm 51 and a lower gear 62 is fixed to the lower arm 52. The upper gear 61 is engaged with the lower gear 62, the upper arm 51 and the lower arm 52 are simultaneously moved opposite to each other with respect to a vertical direction. Therefore, when moving the lower arm 52 in the vertical direction, influence of a weight of the lower arm 52 is canceled by a weight of the upper arm 51, and a force to move the lower arm 52 upward can be reduced. As the result, an air cylinder 63 for changing the distance between the upper arm 51 and the lower arm 52 can be downsized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
