Patent number: 6595328Abstract: In a circulating type food and drink transport apparatus, since a first magnet and second magnets are disposed such that the same magnetic poles thereof confront each other, when a food and drink vessel is placed on a transport path, the first magnet faces the second magnets through the same polarities. Thus, the first magnet is subjected to the repulsive force of the second magnets, whereby the food and drink vessel tends to be stably located between adjacent magnets of the second magnets. When the second magnets are circulatingly traveled in a predetermined direction, the first magnet circulatingly travels at the same speed as the traveling speed of the second magnets because it tends to secure the above stable position.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Ishino Seisakusyo Co, Ltd.Inventors: Yuichi Ishino, Toshihiro Yoshida, Takashi Nakano, Kunio Morishita, Shigeru Kubo
