Abstract:
1. A conveying apparatus, configured to comprise an insertion hole section in the direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of an endless rotary body is formed at a side of a moving member linked to the endless rotary body, an inclined expanding surface that has a diameter increasing inwardly is formed at the inner side of the insertion hole section in the insertion direction thereof, a tubular linking body that can be inserted into said insertion hole section is provided, a collar section that can abut against an outer end surface of said moving member side is formed at the outer end of a tubular section of the tubular linking body, an inner end forming portion of the tubular section is formed as a plurality of tongue piece sections split in the circumferential direction, a protruding section that protrudes from said endless rotary body side is configured to be freely inserted from the outside into the tubular section of said tubular linking body, an annular concave section is formed at the inner end portion of the protruding section, the inner side of the annular concave section is formed as an inclined surface that has a diameter increasing inwardly, an outward convex section that can be set opposite said inclined expanding surface from the inside and an inward convex section that can be elastically engaged with said annular concave section are formed at said tongue piece section, when the collar section is abutted against the outer end surface on the side of said moving member the outward convex section is inwardly separated from the inclined expanding surface and the tongue piece section can be withdrawn against elasticity thereof, and when the collar section is separated from the outer end surface the outward convex section is abutted against the inclined expanding surface, thereby preventing the withdrawal motion of the tongue piece section against the elasticity thereof.
