Abstract:
A transferring speed-change device is provided between an upstream-side stage and a downstream-side stage which are different from each other in conveying speed and conveying pitch. A speed change pinion is meshed with a transferring rack at the same speed as that of an upstream-side pinion; is maintained at the same speed as that of the upstream-side pinion until a main rack is disengaged from the upstream-side pinion; and is used to drive the carrier after the main rack is disengaged from the upstream-side pinion. The speed change pinion is caused to have the same speed as that of a downstream-side pinion immediately before the main rack meshes with the downstream-side pinion; and is maintained at the same speed as that of the downstream-side pinion until the transferring rack is disengaged from the speed change pinion.

Claim (Index 10):
The conveyance apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising\n a speed increaser between the output-side noncircular gear and the speed change pinion, wherein the speed increaser has a speed increasing ratio that is set such that the rack is driven over an entire length thereof, by the speed change pinion meshed with the rack, before each of the pair of noncircular gears completes a single rotation.
