PURPOSE:To automatically move rollers and conducting plates and to improve transport efficiency by coupling a plurality of rollers and conducting plates, respectively and giuding these rollers and conducting plates along separate paths surrounding a transported article. CONSTITUTION:When a transported article 1 is pulled in direction of an arrow 19 by a tractor 6, the transported article 1 is moved on the rollers 10 in the same direction. At this time, conducting plates 16 are automatically transported from the rear of the transported article 1 through the upper portion of the aritcle to the front thereof by engagement of chains 17 and gears 18A-18D mounted on both ends thereof, and sequentially spread forward in the moving direction of the transported article 1. The rollers 10 are rolled on the outer periphery of guides 12 by engagement of the grooves 14 with the guides 12 and automatically transported from the rear of the transported article 1 through the upper portion of the article to the front thereof to be set at an assigned position on the conducting plate device 15. In this arrangement, the rollers and conducting plates are not moved manually, which can accomplish the above objects. |
