Abstract: A support structure for a receiver (18) which is provided on a hanger arm for supporting an object to be conveyed and the position of which can be switched is simplified. A suspension conveyance apparatus has a long hole (31) provided at a shaft support section for a parallel link (24) that laterally movably supports a receiver (18) and permitting vertical movement of the receiver (18), a spring (28a) for urging the receiver (18) to a direction to pull down the receiver (18) on to a receiver support member (21a), an engagement member (33) provided on the receiver supporting member (21a) side, and two inner and outer engagement recesses (32a, 32b) arranged on the receiver (18) side so as to engage with the engagement member (33) when the receiver (18) is at both inner and outer positions (P1, P2), at a level at which the receiver (18) is supported by the receiver support member (21a).

Abstract: A conveying apparatus formed so as to selectively move a to-be-conveyed object support table (3) installed on a conveying traveler body (1) to a lifted position by pushing up the support table by cam rails (40) laid down in the specific section of a conveying route, wherein the holding function of the to-be-conveyed object support table (3) at the lifted position is increased to enhance safety. A to-be-latched portion (33) reciprocatingly moving in a roughly horizontal direction according to a standing/falling motion of the crosslink mechanisms (12) and latches (34) for locking automatically engaged with the to-be-latched portion (33) when the to-be-conveyed object support table (3) is lifted to a predetermined position are installed on the conveying traveler body (1) sides of the crosslink mechanisms (12) liftably supporting the to-be-conveyed object support table (3).

Abstract: A sensing element (102) includes a porous material (121) which is porous glass having a plurality of fine pores (122) having an average pore size of 4 ?m, a sensing agent (123) formed in the pores (122), and a selective permeable film (124) which is formed to cover the surface of the porous material (121) and made of a plastic film. The selective permeable film (124) is made of an organic polymer such as polyacrylonitrile or PMMA which uses, as a monomer, a compound made of a chainlike molecule containing a vinyl group, and has a film thickness of about 0.05 to 1 ?m.
