Abstract: A conveying apparatus comprising a traveling unit which runs; a winding roller which is supported by the traveling unit; a belt which is wound on the winding roller so as to be unwound and wound by the winding roller; a pulley which has a peripheral surface guiding the belt and a diameter smaller than the diameter of the winding roller; and the pulley having no flange on both ends thereof; a belt positioning guide which is provided below the pulley and guides both edges of the belt in the win direction thereof so that the belt is positioned in the width direction; and a support unit which is attached to the belt and supports a conveyed object.

Abstract: A pair of rail members have upward wheel supporting surfaces and inward roller guide surfaces, respectively. A fixed path includes linear path portions and a branching-and-joining path portion. Linear-side guide members extending along the linear path portions and a branching-and-joining-side guide member extending along the branching-and-joining path portion are provided in a branching-and-joining section. A moving body is provided with wheels and side guide rollers supported and guided on a wheel supporting surface and a roller guide surface, respectively. A direction restricting member guided by sideward guide sections of the guide members is driven by a lateral-movement unit to move freely in a lateral direction between a location corresponding to the linear-side guide member and a location corresponding to the branching-and-joining-side guide member.
