PURPOSE: To provide a transfer device for an annular object by which manual transferring work of the annular object including a core body between hooks can be automated, drying work of each of the annular objects can be carried out while suspending them one by one with the hook, and individual transfer of the annular objects by means of the hook between respective processes can be suitably carried out.

CONSTITUTION: A supporting sleeve 19 is arranged freely rotatably around a supporting rod axis being a center on the tip side from a supporting plate 16 on a supporting rod, and on the tip side of the supporting sleeve 19, the base end of a plate-shaped hook member 21, which is projected forward perpendicularly to the supporting sleeve 19, is fixed. In the supporting sleeve 19, a balance weight 22 is installed via a rod member on the opposite side of the hook member 21, while a contact plate 23 is fixed downward in the base part of the supporting sleeve 19 by welding, and a locking piece 24 projecting to the supporting plate 16 side is fixed in the contact plate 23.
