  • Patent number: 7458455
    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).

  • Patent number: 7034505
    Abstract: A mobile apparatus is provided with a first charging circuit, and a charging device is provided with a second charging circuit. The charging device charges a secondary buttery of the mobile apparatus through three pairs of terminals, that is, the first input/output terminals of DC voltage, second input/output terminals of a charging voltage, and third input/output terminals connected to ground. With this arrangement, an effective charging operation is executed with minimum loss. Since the secondary buttery is charged only when the mobile apparatus is installed on the charging device and a power switch of the mobile apparatus is turned off, data stored in the mobile apparatus can be protected against destruction and the secondary buttery can be charged in safety.
