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).
