Abstract:
Conveying equipment includes carriages having a frame with front and rear ends coupled to adjacent carriages by vertical support shafts and having a floor board which is supported by the frame. A floor board main portion has a protruding arc-shaped end edge concentric with one of the vertical support shafts and a floor board sub-portion which has a recessed arc-shaped end edge concentric with the other vertical support shaft. The protruding arc-shaped end edge in one carriage and the recessed arc-shaped end edge in an adjacent carriage are relatively rotatable around the common vertical support shaft located at the arc centers of each of the edges. The floor board main portion overhangs from one end of the frame in each of the carriages and is supported on an overhanging portion which overhangs from the floor board sub-portion in the adjacent carriage so as to be freely relatively rotated.

Claim (Index 1):
Carriage-utilizing conveying equipment comprising:\n workpiece-conveying carriages that travel on a traveling path including a horizontal curved path section in a state where the carriages are coupled to each other so as to freely swing relatively horizontally around a vertical support shaft; each carriage being including a frame portion whose front and rear ends are coupled to an adjacent carriage with front and rear vertical support shafts and including a floor board portion which is supported by the frame portion; the floor board portion including a floor board main portion having a protruding arc-shaped end edge concentric with one of the front and rear vertical support shafts and including a floor board sub-portion having a recessed arc-shaped end edge concentric with an other one of the front and rear vertical support shafts; the protruding arc-shaped end edge of the floor board main portion in a first carriage and the recessed arc-shaped end edge of the floor board sub-portion in a second carriages adjacent in a forward/backward direction to the first carriage are adjacent such that the protruding arc-shaped end edge of the first carriage and the recessed arc-shaped end edge of the second carriage are relatively rotatable at a same height around the common vertical support shaft located at arc centers of each of the protruding and recessed arc-shaped end edges and the floor board main portion which overhangs, in one direction, from one end portion of the frame portion in the first and second carriages is supported on an overhanging portion which overhangs from the floor board sub-portion of the frame portion in the adjacent carriage so as to be freely relatively rotated.
