Patent attributes
An object is to improve a conveyor device including a curved passage and to provide a conveyor device that enables the curvature radius of a curved passage to be reduced. A conveyor device (1) includes an introducing side linear conveyor (2), a curved passage conveyor (3), and a discharging side linear conveyor (5). The curved passage conveyor (3) conveys an object with a rotation trajectory of approximately 180°. The curved passage conveyor (3) includes a circular plate (6), and the upper face of the circular plate (6) functions as a conveying surface. The circular plate (6) is curved or bent. A part of the circular plate (6) other than the curved passage conveyor (3) gets under the conveying surfaces of the introducing side linear conveyor (2) and the discharging side linear conveyor (5).
