WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/056681
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A conveying system, wherein dividable horizontal conveying parts (16a, 16b) are connected to each other through connection plates (120) and columns (22) and the rails (28) of the horizontal conveying parts (16a, 16b) are connected to each other without any step and clearance. Connected conveying vehicles (12) are conveyed by a force applied thereto from the annular chains (30) of the horizontal conveying parts (16a) and (16b) through chain pressing plates (242). When the rearmost one of the chain pressing plates (242) leaves the annular chain (30) of the horizontal conveying part (16a), the chain pressing plate (242) of the headmost first conveying vehicle (200) reaches the annular chain (30) of the horizontal conveying part (16b) and the connected conveying vehicles (12) are continuously conveyed.
