A support portion on which an object of paying of respects transported by the transport device is placed is provided at the support position. The support portion includes one or more restriction members configured to restrict movement of an object of paying of respects toward the first side by contacting the object of paying of respects from the first side, and one or more guide portions configured to move an object of paying of respects toward the first side to a contact position at which the object of paying of respects contacts the one or more restriction members or to a position located more toward the second side relative to the contact position. With one or more end portions, on the second side, of the bottom portion of the object of paying of respects being one or more end portions to be contacted, each of the one or more guide portions has a tilted guide surface that is tilted downward toward a first side end thereof with the tilted guide surface located in a position in which the one or more end portions, to be contacted, of the object of paying of respects that is being transferred from the transport device to be placed on the support portion, come into contact with the guide surface.

A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a partition wall located to partition off the support position from a respects-paying position for a person visiting to pay respects, a window member including a variable-light-transmittance member whose light transmittance is adjustable, an illuminating device for which an amount of light emitted thereby is adjustable, and a controller. A window for allowing the person visiting to pay respects to view an object of paying of respects is formed in an area, of the partition wall, toward which the object of paying of respects faces when supported in the support position. The window is provided with a window member. And the illuminating device is so positioned that light therefrom reaches the object of paying of respects supported in the support position. The controller is configured to increase at least one of the light transmittance of the window member and the amount of light emitted by the illuminating device as an object of paying of respects arrives at the support position through a transport operation of the transport device.

A plurality of storage sections include one or more reference storage sections each of which is defined to be a storage section that has an occupiable area at least a portion of which extends over a same positional range along the first direction as a portion of an occupiable area in the support position. A transport device includes a projecting and retracting mechanism configured to project and retract along the first direction a holding member configured to hold an object of paying of respects, and is configured to move the holding member toward a partition wall side along the first direction when moving an object of paying of respects to a reference storage section or to the support position by means of the projecting and retracting mechanism. The amount of projection of the holding member toward the partition wall side when moving an object of paying of respects to the support position is set to be greater than the amount of projection of the holding member toward the partition wall side when moving an object of paying of respects to a reference storage section.

A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a cleaning device which utilizes a dust removing member to remove dust from an outer surface of an object of paying of respects. The dust removing member is provided at a position that allows the dust removing member to act on an outer surface of an object of paying of respects that is being moved in a transport direction through transport operation by the transport system such that the dust removing member is in relative motion, in a direction opposite to the transport direction, with respect to the object of paying of respects as the object of paying of respects is moved in the transport direction.

A fastener element has a central land portion and first and second bulging portions bulging from the central land portion toward the tape front surface side and the tape rear surface side in the element thickness direction. The first and second bulging portions respectively have a bulging end surface facing to the element thickness direction. The bulging end surface has a quadrilateral base end surface which is long in the element length direction and a tapered protrusion end surface protruding from the base end surface in the element width direction. Thus, it is possible to make the fastener element look like a single-sided metal element and to make a slide fastener which is formed by using the fastener elements lighter than a conventional slide fastener having single-sided metal elements.
