  • Patent number: 9701471
    Abstract: A transferring apparatus includes an elevating platform, a pair of side arms that are placed on the elevating platform and are each capable of stretching toward and retracting from both sides of a package, and a lower conveyor that is placed on the elevating platform. At least either one of the pair of the side arms is movable in a left-and-right direction orthogonal to a stretching-and-retracting direction of the side arm. The side arm that is movable in the left-and-right direction includes a base member that is movable in the left-and-right direction. The base member of the side arm includes a front guide leg-member and a rear guide leg-member that are provided to respective ends in the stretching-and-retracting direction of the base member on the lower side thereof. The lower conveyor is provided below a base body member between the front guide leg-member and the rear guide leg-member.

  • Patent number: 9446899
    Abstract: A transferring apparatus includes a plurality of side-arm transfer units each provided with a pair of side arms each of which is capable of stretching toward and retracting from both sides of an object to be conveyed. The side-arm transfer units are arranged side by side in a left-and-right direction that is orthogonal to a stretching-and-retracting direction of the side arms. The side arms each include pinion gears, a rack gear, and a motor that drives the pinion gears. The motors positioned between the side-arm transfer units are connected to the pinion gears whose positions in the stretching-and-retracting direction are different from each other.
