<p>Before a number of printed boards or the like contained upright in a rack are loaded one by one loaded on an external transfer path, each printed board or the like is reliably paired with a protective sheet and loaded in a short time efficiently on an internal transfer path when the printed boards or the like are alternated with protective sheets. An object (W) to be loaded, as located at the foremost position of a rack (80), is held by a first chucking device (21) and lifted a little to expose the lower portion of the subsequent protective sheet (70). The entire of the lower portion is held by a second chucking device and pulled in together with the first chucking device (21). And then the lower ends of the paired object (W) and protective sheet (70) are brought into simultaneous engagement in a grip portion (31) of a swingable arm (30). The swingable arm (30) is swung toward the start point of an internal transfer path (11), thereby loading the object (W) and protective sheet (70) on the internal transfer path (11).</p> |
