CONVEYANCE DIRECTION SHIFTING DEVICE

To prevent alignment of to-be-conveyed objects from collapsing when the to-be-conveyed objects are pushed from the top of a first conveyor to a second conveyor by a pusher.SOLUTION: A conveyance direction shifting device 1 includes a first roller conveyor 20 that vertically conveys to-be-conveyed objects 100 that are vertically arranged, a pusher 50 that pushes the to-be-conveyed objects 100 placed on the first roller conveyor 20 from one side of the first roller conveyor 20 to the other side, a second roller conveyor 30 which are provided beside the other side of the first roller conveyor 20, on which the to-be-conveyed objects 100 pushed out by the pusher 50 are shifted from the first roller conveyor 20, and which laterally conveys the to-be-conveyed objects 100, and a guide part 60 which extends laterally from above the upstream end of the second roller conveyor 30 to the downstream side and is inserted between adjacent side surfaces of the to-be-conveyed objects 100 pushed out by the pusher 50.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】被搬送物がプッシャーによって第１コンベヤの上から第２コンベヤに押し出される際に、被搬送物の並びが崩れないようにする。【解決手段】搬送方向変換装置１は、縦方向に並べられた被搬送物１００を縦方向に搬送する第１ローラーコンベヤ２０と、第１ローラーコンベヤ２０に載せられた被搬送物１００を第１ローラーコンベヤ２０の片方の横からもう片方の横へ押し出すプッシャー５０と、第１ローラーコンベヤ２０の前記もう片方の横に設けられ、プッシャー５０によって押し出される被搬送物１００が第１ローラーコンベヤ２０の上から載せ換えられ、被搬送物１００を横方向に搬送する第２ローラーコンベヤ３０と、第２ローラーコンベヤ３０の上流側端部の上から下流側へ横方向に延びて、プッシャー５０によって押し出される被搬送物１００の隣り同士の側面の間に挿入され誘導部６０と、を備える。【選択図】図２
