Abstract: A conveying apparatus is capable of conveying an object supported by a support along a vertical direction in a non-restricted area and a restricted area narrower than the non-restricted area. The conveying apparatus has a first detection device, a second detection device and a controller. The first detection device detects whether a runout of the conveyed object supported by the support from a normal position is within or outside the non-restricted area. The second detection device detects whether the runout from the normal position of the object supported by the support is within or outside the restricted area. The controller controls the conveyance operation of the object to be conveyed by the support based on the detection results of the first detection device and the second detection device.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a biasing member that biases the reel in such a way that the reel rotates in a winding direction of the string, and a lock member that prohibits rotation of the reel. A biasing force of the biasing member is selected to be smaller than a biasing force with which the movable portion tends to move downward in the vertical direction.

Abstract: A transport vehicle control system restricts a travel speed of an article transport vehicle to less than or equal to a restrictive speed prescribed in advance, in a case where a temperature sensor detects that the temperature of a regenerative resistor is greater than or equal to a first temperature set to a higher temperature than a steady temperature range which is a temperature range of a steady state prescribed in advance, and disconnects the connection between a power supply unit and a travel motor with a switch, in a case where the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the regenerative resistor is greater than or equal to a second temperature set to a higher temperature than the first temperature.
