<p>An article transfer device capable of transferring an article having a very small length in the lateral widthwise direction thereof. The article transfer device is provided with: a placement support section which comprises a pair of divided, placement support sections (17F, 17R) for individually supporting both sides of the bottom surface of an article in the lateral widthwise direction thereof and which is provided to a base; and a pair of clamp sections (18F, 18R) which can advance and retract relative to the placement support section in the article transfer direction and which can be moved by a clamp drive device (M4) so as to approach and be separated from each other between gripping positions and wider-spaced release positions. The pair of divided, placement support sections (17F, 17R) is moved, within a permissible movement range set in the lateral widthwise direction of the article, by a placement-support-section drive device (M4) so as to approach and be separated from each other, and when located at approach limit positions in the permissible movement range, the pair of divided, placement support sections (17F, 17R) is in proximity to and faces each other.</p> |
