PURPOSE: To realize an effective transfer by a means wherein a second transfer means, consisting of a magnetic circuit utilizing a principle of a linear motor, is provided in series with a first transfer means consisting of a belt-conveyor, and a method of transfer of a pallet by respective transfer means is enabled by switching.
CONSTITUTION: A first transfer means or a belt-conveyor is consisting of belts 1a, 1b and a frame 2 carrying the belts thereon, while a pallet 4, having wheels 4c under a bottom thereof, is transferred by the belts 1a, 1b. On the other hand, a second transfer means is constituted with a primary side of a magnetic circuit, consisting of laminated iron sheets 6a, a coil 6b and the like and being fixedly supported by a fixed member 6c within the frame 2 so as to keep a predetermined space between the iron sheets 6a and a secondary conducting body 4a at a lower surface of a container 4, and the secondary conducting body 4a. The second transfer means is provided generally at a down stream side of a stopping means 8, provided for effecting assembling, working or the like of goods on the pallet 4, and the transfer of the pallet 4 may be effected promptly by the driving of the second transfer means.
