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 2):
The carriage-utilizing conveying equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein a carriage turning direction in the horizontal curved path section of the traveling path is limited to either one of a leftward direction and a rightward direction; a left/right lateral width of the floor board sub-portion is made narrower than a maximum left/right lateral width of the floor board main portion when the carriages are in a linear path section of the traveling path; outer sides of the respective carriages on a side opposite to a side of the carriage turning direction are linearly connected in parallel to the linear path section such that in inner sides of the respective carriages on the side of the carriage turning direction; and end portions of the protruding arc-shaped end edges of the floor board main portions are protruded laterally from linear sides at regular intervals.
