To provide a carrying device having the branch function of branching off an article, without hindering work ancillary to carrying, for example, an inspection by this branch function.
A first carrying-out form and a second carrying-out form can be switched to each other, and a PTP sheet 1 as the article is carried out of the tail end of an inspection conveyor 20 in the first carrying-out form. While, in the second carrying-out form, the PTP sheet 1 is regulated in a deviation by a guide part 30 in the tail end of the inspection conveyor 20, and enters downward all the way along a carriable surface 21. At this time, since a stopper 41 precedes in a finger 23, the PTP sheet 1 does not slip down to the downstream side. The carrying direction of the PTP sheet 1 is reversed, and the PTP sheet 1 is carried out of a lower part 22 of the inspection conveyor 20.
