CONVEYING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveying device capable of performing highly efficient work by shortening a cycle time. SOLUTION: A pallet holding mechanism comprises a ring guide 41 provided in the concentric circumferential position of a disk and having an annular guide groove for guiding a pin member 40b formed at the upper edge of each pallet 1b, in a loosely fitted state, and a linear guide groove for guiding the annular guide groove to the outside on a conveying line 27. A pallet advancing/retreating mechanism is constituted so that a cylindrical hook erected in the almost tip position of a rod 50 advancing/retreating on the conveying line 27, and a cutout groove 45b connecting both front and rear faces of the pallet 1b on the lower edge of each pallet 1b, are formed to be engaged with each other, and that each sidewall of the cutout groove 45b is formed of a circular arc portion of a different-diameter concentric circle of the disk.
