Abstract:
The lifting and lowering apparatus includes a plurality of shelf members  6  and  7  and a lifting and lowering mechanism  8 . The shelf members  6  and  7  respectively include placing tables A and B positioned on different heights, and each placing table is provided with a conveying unit  10 . The shelf members  6  and  7  are lifted and lowered by the lifting and lowering mechanism  8 , whereby the placing table A (B) of the shelf member  6  ( 7 ) which is one of the shelf members  6  and  7  is adjusted to be on the same height as the placing table B (A) of the other shelf member  7  ( 6 ), and with this state, an object is transferred from the placing table of one of the shelf members to the placing table of the other shelf member. The shelf members  6  and  7  are again lifted and lowered to adjust the placing table B (A) of the other shelf member  7  ( 6 ) to be on the same height as the placing table A (B) which belongs to the shelf member  6  ( 7 ) and which is positioned on a different height, returns the object to the shelf member  6  ( 7 ), and transfers the object to the placing table A (B) which is positioned on a different height from the previous placing table A (B).

Claim (Index 10):
The lifting and lowering apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising a station device having stations positioned on different heights,\n wherein an interval between the adjacent stations of the station device is substantially equal to an interval between the adjacent first placing tables or the adjacent second placing tables, and wherein the first or the second shelf member is lifted and lowered by the lifting and lowering mechanism by an amount corresponding to a height or a half height of the interval between the adjacent stations.
