Abstract:
A guide member ( 14 ) has an upper surface assisting conveyance of workpieces ( 44 ) mounted on a table ( 12 ) and is arranged downstream of the table ( 12 ) in a workpiece conveyance direction. A belt drive mechanism ( 16 ) has pulleys ( 26 a  to  26 d , 28 a  to  28 b ), and endless belts ( 32 a  to  32 d ) wound around these pulleys, and is arranged above the table ( 12 ) and the guide member ( 14 ) so as to stride over the table ( 12 ) and the guide member ( 14 ). A first opening portion is formed on a bottom portion of the belt drive mechanism ( 16 ) to generate an upward suction force. A second opening portion is formed on the upper surface of the guide member ( 14 ) to generate a downward suction force. A magnitude of the suction force generated in the first opening portion exceeds a magnitude of the suction force generated in the second opening portion.

Claim (Index 3):
The workpiece conveying apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a distance from the downstream end of said second opening portion to an upstream end of said first opening portion is shorter than a length from a leading end of said workpiece to a tailing end thereof.
