To be.
[0009]
The connecting member 31 is made of a rigid member, for example, a metal plate, and is attached to both end surfaces of the support 11.
As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting member 31 includes a substrate portion 32 attached to the end surface portion of the support 11, and one end portion 32 a of the substrate portion 32 (for example, the right side toward the shaft end of the support 11. A support portion 33 that protrudes obliquely forward from the end of the support portion 33, a flat plate-like engagement portion 34 that extends diagonally rearward from the tip of the support portion 33, and crosses the center line 11 a of the support 11, The other end portion 32 b (for example, the left end portion toward the shaft end of the support 11) protrudes from the guide portion 35 substantially parallel to the support portion 33.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the suspended conveyance device 1, the two engaging portions 34 are engaged with each other, so that the two adjacent suspended conveyance devices 1 are connected to each other and move together.
[0010]
The suspended conveying device 1 is arranged so that the suspended device 21 straddles the conveying rail 2, and the roller 25 is placed on the upper surface of the conveying rail 2 as shown in FIG. 2. Then, the clothes suspended from the support 11 move along the transport rail 2 together with the suspended transport device 1.
[0011]
When removing the suspending device 21 from the transport rail 2, if the support 11 is supported with one hand and the fixed tube 27 is slid upward and the upper leg 23b is tilted in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. Since the interval between the individual rollers 25 is widened, the suspended conveyance device 1 can be detached from the conveyance rail 2 if the whole is moved downward while supporting the support 11.
[0012]
Next, a procedure for connecting the two suspended transfer devices 1 will be described.
First, in FIG. 4, when the suspended conveyance device 1 is brought close to each other, the two engaging portions 34 abut against each other. As shown in FIG. 2, the suspension conveyance device 1 is configured such that the lower end support 11 is swingable about the conveyance rail 2, and therefore when the suspension conveyance device 1 is further moved in the direction of arrow B, The engaging portions 34 retreat in the direction of arrow C along the inclined surfaces.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 5, when the distal end 34 a of one engaging portion 34 intersects the distal end 34 a of the other engaging portion 34, the one engaging portion 34 is inserted into the other connecting member 31. The
Then, the tip of the support portion 33 comes into contact with the guide portion 35.
[0014]
The support portion 33 is moved in the direction of arrow D where the two engaging portions 34 overlap along the inclined surface of the guide portion 35 to reach the state shown in FIG.
In this state, since the two engaging portions 34 are separated from each other, there is no urging force that moves the engaging portions 34 in the direction of arrow C along the inclined surface as shown in FIG. Therefore, the two connecting members 31 swung around the transport rail 2 are returned in the direction in which the center lines 11a of the supports 11 on both sides coincide, that is, in the arrow D direction.
[0015]
Therefore, if one suspended conveying device 1 is moved forward, the two engaging portions 34 are engaged with the inner surfaces being in close contact with each other, so that the center lines 11a of the respective supports 11 are in a connected state.
[0016]
In this connected state, if the front suspending and conveying apparatus 1 moves forward, the front engaging part 34 pulls the rear engaging part 34 and the two are brought into close contact with each other. 1 is integrated and relative movement is restricted. Therefore, the sideways of the suspended conveying device 1 can be prevented, and the vibration and noise of the suspended conveying device 1 can be prevented.
[0017]
Further, when the suspended conveying device 1 moves to the curved portion of the conveying rail 2, the center line 11a of the front and rear support members 11 intersects, and the engaging portion 34 becomes shallow.
However, when the crossing angle α becomes excessively small, as shown in FIG. 7, one guide portion 35 comes into contact with the other support portion 33 and the crossing angle α is appropriately held. The part 34 does not come off, and the connected state can be reliably maintained.
[0018]
Since the connecting member 31 is made of a metal plate, the front and rear connecting members 31 can be moved relatively up and down even in the connected state.
Therefore, even when the front and rear suspended transfer devices 1 are connected, the intermediate suspended transfer device 1 can be separated and removed by releasing the suspended device 21.
