Abstract

A support mechanism which permits the displacement of an end surface of a movable linear conveyor toward a side in the X direction. The support mechanism supports the end portion of the movable linear conveyor with respect to the end portion of the fixed linear conveyor while having the interval between the end surface of the movable linear conveyor positioned at the facing position or the facing position and the end surface of the fixed linear conveyor in the X direction. Thus, since the interval is between the end surface of the movable linear conveyor and the end surface of the fixed linear conveyor by the support mechanism supporting the movable linear conveyor with respect to the fixed linear conveyor, it is possible to reliably form the interval therebetween. Therefore, it is possible to absorb the displacement of the released end surface.
