Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/038387
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A transfer device (100) is provided with a conveyor (121), a slide arm (110), hooks (114, 115), and a control unit (400). The conveyor (121) can convey a load (200) in the direction parallel to the load conveyance direction, the load (200) being placed on the upper surface of the conveyor (121). The slide arm (110) can slide and move in the direction parallel to the load conveyance direction. The hooks (114, 115) are mounted to the slide arm (110) and can move between a working attitude in which the hooks (114, 115) protrude toward the load (200) placed on the conveyor (121) in the direction intersecting the slide movement direction of the slide arm (110), and a retracted attitude in which the contact of the hooks (114, 115) with the load (200), which is placed on the conveyor (121), is prevented. The control unit (400) causes the conveyor (121) to convey the load (200) in the direction opposite the load conveyance direction so that the position of an end of the load (200), the end facing the direction opposite the load conveyance direction, reaches near the hook (115), and then the control unit (400) moves the slide arm (110) in the load conveyance direction.
