Abstract
There is provided a conveying device that can support a car weight with a mechanism lighter in weight. A driving device () of a conveying device that lifts and lowers a loading-weight support along a rail () includes a wheel unit () and a link (). The wheel unit () drives to rotate a driving wheel () in contact with a guide surface () to lift and lower the loading-weight support. The link () includes a first joint () connected to the wheel unit () and a second joint () rotatably supported by the loading-weight support. The second joint () is arranged in a position further apart from the guide surface () than the first joint (), and above the first joint (). The link () is arranged such that a straight line connecting the first joint () and the second joint () is tilted smaller than 45 degrees.
