# Transport conveyor

## Abstract

30 A transport conveyor (1) includes an upstream conveyor section (1u), a downstream conveyor section (1d), and a relay conveyor section (2T) having an orientation changeable between a connecting orientation (Sj), in which the 5 relay conveyor section (2T) is in a gap region (Reg) to connect the upstream conveyor section (1u) to the downstream conveyor section (1d), and an open orientation, in which the relay conveyor section (2T) is in a non-overlapping region (Ren) that does not overlap a movement path to open the gap region (Reg). A support axis (Axs) is above a drive axis (Axd), and a link mechanism 10 (22) is configured such that when the relay conveyor section (2T) is in the connecting orientation (Sj), a first pivot axis (Ax1) is below a reference virtual plane (Ls) connecting the drive axis (Axd) to a second pivot axis (Ax2).
