Abstract:
A pallet transport device includes a plurality of pallet rails; a pallet feeding unit configured to transport the pallet along the pallet rails; a pallet moving unit configured to horizontally rotate so as to move the pallet; one or more short rails disposed at a periphery of the pallet moving unit; a pallet feeding assist unit configured to move the pallet from the pallet rails to the short rails, or move the pallet from the short rails to the pallet rails; and an elevator unit configured to cause the pallet feeding assist unit to descend and ascend. The horizontal rotation of the pallet moving unit is permitted by the descent of the pallet feeding assist unit.

Claim (Index 4):
The pallet transport device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the pallet feeding assist unit includes an auxiliary circulation belt arranged endlessly and circulated along the end portions of the pallet rails and a short rail continuous with the end portions of the pallet rails, the auxiliary circulation belt has recesses and projections extending in a width direction and formed continuously in an alternating manner in a longitudinal direction, recesses and projections capable of engaging with the recesses and projections of the auxiliary circulation belt are formed on a lower surface of the pallet, the ascent of the pallet feeding assist unit brings the recesses and projections of the pallet into engagement with the recesses and projections of the auxiliary circulation belt, and moves the pallet along with the circulation of the auxiliary circulation belt, and the descent of the pallet feeding assist unit makes the recesses and projections of the auxiliary circulation belt separated from the recesses and projections of the pallet.
