Patent number: 7344350Abstract: The invention discloses a transporting apparatus that transmits a drive force to a transported object in a state where the transported object is supported by a air-supplying-type support apparatus. In one implementation thereof, a device for transferring drive force to a transported object transfers drive force to one side in the width direction, which is perpendicular to the transporting direction. In another implementation thereof, the transporting apparatus can be switched between a horizontal state in which the transported object is supported substantially horizontally, and an upright state.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Daifuku Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiteru Ikehata, Takayoshi Ono, Yuichi Morimoto

Patent number: 7329299Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a plate-shaped work piece transporting apparatus that has a fan, a dust-removal filter disposed above this fan, and a plate-shape porous member disposed above the dust-removal filter. By forming a chamber in which air can accumulate between the porous member and the dust-removal filter, it is possible to suppress air pulsations. Further, by providing support members on the porous member, the plate-shaped work piece can be supported and damage thereto can be avoided when the plate-shaped work piece, which is supported by air from the fan, drops to below a set height.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2004Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Daifuku Co., Ltd.Inventors: Susumu Moriya, Shigeto Murayama, Yuichi Morimoto, Yoshiteru Ikehata, Takayoshi Ono
