Abstract: A first cable body allows a first transport apparatus to move in a first movement area by deforming as the first transport apparatus moves along a first direction. A second cable body allows a second transport apparatus to move in a second movement area, which at least partially overlaps the first movement area, by deforming as the second transport apparatus moves along the first direction. Assuming that a direction perpendicular to both the first direction and an up-down direction is a second direction, the first cable body and the second cable body are arranged on the same side in the second direction relative to a rail so that the respective arrangement areas in the second direction overlap each other at least partially.

Abstract: A compact rough terrain crane in which an exhaust emission control device and an elevating step are laid out in a compact manner without impairing excellent small-radius turning performance is provided. The crane includes a lower carrier that has a front axle and a rear axle. The crane includes an exhaust emission control device that has a DOC which is connected to an exhaust pipe extending from a diesel engine and is supplied with exhaust, a DRT disposed downstream of the DOC, and an SCR disposed downstream of the DRT. The crane includes an elevating step. The DOC, the DRT, and the SCR are disposed in parallel on a virtual horizontal plane that is separated from an upper surface of the lower carrier by a predetermined distance. The step is disposed in a gap that is formed between the upper surface of the lower carrier and the exhaust emission control device.

Abstract: A storage rack including a plurality of storage sections further includes a plurality of columns with one column provided at each end along the right and left direction and a column provided at a position between two mutually adjacent storage sections, a transverse beam member extending along the right and left direction, and a support portion for supporting a stored object. Each column includes a pair of divided column members which are spaced apart from each other. The transverse beam member fixed at a location between a pair of divided column members. The support portion is supported by two mutually adjacent columns in a cantilever manner such that the support portion is in contact with the transverse beam member.

Abstract: An article transport device includes a transport mechanism which is configured to support, from below, a container being transported and to transport the container along a transporting path, and a housing which forms an accommodating space in which at least a part of the transport mechanism is housed. The housing has one or more support plates, a plurality of brackets, and a housing panel. Each of the one or more support plates is a plate-shaped member extending along the transporting path and is configured to support the transport mechanism from below. A lower end portion of each of the plurality of brackets is attached to a corresponding one of the one or more support plates such that the plurality of the brackets are spaced apart from one another along a direction along the transporting path, outside the accommodating space along the lateral width direction.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for a ceiling transport vehicle is provided which can be advantageously installed in a clean room. A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a ceiling transport vehicle includes an air blower for blowing air to the ceiling transport vehicle when the ceiling transport vehicle, which can travel along a travel rail provided on a ceiling side in a clean room, is stationary in a closed off space which is closed off from exterior space.

Abstract: An article transport facility includes an article transport device capable of moving along a moving direction in movement sections. The movement sections include a transporting movement section and an out-of-the-way movement section. A work platform includes one or more out-of-trajectory portions located to at least one side along a lateral direction with respect to a mast trajectory, and one or more in-trajectory portions which are located in an area of the mast trajectory that excludes an area in which the mast is located when the article transport device is in the out-of-the-way stop position. Each of the one or more in-trajectory portions is configured to be capable of being moved to a support position located in the mast trajectory, and to an out-of-the-way position in which the in-trajectory portion is out of the mast trajectory along the lateral direction.

Abstract: A storage structure is provided in which an outside surface panel can be attached and removed regardless of where the storage structure is installed. The storage structure has a plurality of columns, an outside surface panel configured to be located between two mutually adjacent columns to form a part of an outer wall, and an outward-side pressing member and an inward-side pressing member each of which can be removably attached to a column. The outside surface panel has a width which is less than a distance between the two mutually adjacent columns. The outward-side pressing member and the inward-side pressing member cooperate with each other to assist in holding the outside surface panel from both sides.

Abstract: A storage facility includes a storage rack including a plurality of storage sections and a gas supply portion that supplies an inactive gas to containers stored in the storage sections. Struts are installed at left and right ends of the storage rack and between adjacent ones of the storage sections, and placement portions are fixed to mutually adjacent ones of the struts. Each vertical pipe included in the gas supply portion is fixed to one of the struts to which the placement portion to which the inactive gas is supplied by the vertical pipe is fixed.

Each column includes a pair of divided column members which are spaced apart from each other. The transverse beam member fixed at a location between a pair of divided column members. The support portion is supported by two mutually adjacent columns in a cantilever manner such that the support portion is in contact with the transverse beam member.

Abstract: An article storage facility includes a measuring jig for measuring an amount of tilt of a support body. A controller for controlling operation of an article transport device performs a tilt measurement control for controlling operation of the article transport device to transport the measuring jig sequentially to each of a plurality of measurement target storage sections which is all or part of the plurality of storage sections.

Abstract: A lateral plate and a main plate are provided inside a casing, and a plurality of blades are circularly arranged on this main plate. A plurality of asperities are formed from the front blade edge toward the rear blade edge on at least one of dorsal and ventral sides of each blade.

Abstract: A multi-blade fan includes a spirally-shaped housing which has a bell-mouth orifice on one side, a sucking inlet and an exhausting outlet, an impeller which is placed in a housing and has a plurality of blades supported by a main plate and a lateral plate at both the axial ends, and a motor for driving the impeller. A cross section, cut along vertically with respect to a rotary shaft of the impeller, of each one of the blades has a given shape which allows a main air stream to flow along a back face of each one of blades.
