CONVEYOR

PURPOSE:To surely control the swing of an engaged stopping arm, by the swing of a moving guide provided in a prescribed position, and surely position a conveyed article in a prescribed place and prevent the overloading of a conveyor chain and a drive means for it. CONSTITUTION:While a stopper 2 is protruded in a conveyance passage, an engaged stopping arm 13 is moved alone to the end of skid 10 by a conveyor chain 3 because a guide 11 is parallel with a floor. At the end of the skid 10, a driven roller 13e moves onto the guide 11 so that the guide is swung clockwise against the thrust of a spring 9. While the topper 2 is retracted out of the conveyance passage as a result of the swing of an arm 5, the guide 11 remains swung counterclockwise. For that reason, the driven roller 13e of the engaged stopping arm 13 does not come into contact with the guide 11, resulting in not turning the arm about its fulcrum.
