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.
