Travelling carrier delivery equipment includes a delivery unit for transferring a travelling carrier that has no self-running means between a movable rail and a main rail by means of external friction-driven, and the travelling carrier is provided with a friction driving surface across its entire length, the delivery unit has a friction drive wheel and friction drive wheel moving means, the friction drive wheel is provided on the movable rail and is switchable between a driving state, in that it propels the travelling carrier via the friction driving surface and a driving release state, and the friction drive wheel moving means reciprocates the friction drive wheel between a retreating position (R), at which the friction drive wheel can be made to contact with the friction driving surface of the travelling carrier supported on the movable rail and a forwarding position (F), at which the friction drive wheel can be made to contact with the friction driving surface of the travelling carrier supported on the main rail.

A car type conveyor includes a guide rail extending along one edge of a running path. The running path is fitted with a friction driver including a frictional wheel . A runner is guided by and moves along the guide rail . The runner has a frictional surface formed on it for compressive contact with the frictional wheel . A carriage includes wheels and and moves along the running path. The runner and one of the right and left sides of the carriage are connected together in such a manner that the top of the runner is higher than the position at which the carriage supports a body. The carriage may be foldable toward the runner

Car type conveyor

A tester for internal combustion engines is composed of an internal combustion engine support block and a controller and is provided with a cover comprising a pair of lateral plates disposed on opposite sides of the internal combustion engine support block and an outer plate disposed between the outer edges of the lateral plates, the cover being turnable with the inner ends of the lateral plates serving as fulcrums. And a pit is formed under the internal combustion engine support block. The cover is adapted to be opened and closed by turning movement and the opened cover is received in the pit.
