PURPOSE:To prevent breakage of a transported article by disposing a breakage preventing member formed of a buffer material in a receiving receptacle. CONSTITUTION:A breakage preventing member 2 is disposed with a certain air gap from the inner wall surface in a receiving hopper 1. The breakage preventing member 2 is a cylinder formed of a buffer sheet, the upper end portion 2a of which is provided with an air-permeable cover such as a net or the like, the lower end portion 2b being opened. The breakage preventing member 2 is supported on a lid 4 of the receiving hopper 1 by a suitable support member 9 in such a manner as to be out of contact with the inner wall of the hopper 1. The inner surface of a transport pipe 5 is coated with a buffer material 6. As the breakage preventing member 2 is thus disposed out of contact with the inner wall of the hopper 1, a transported article can be prevented from a strong shock. |
