Abstract
An apparatus comprising a pair of reciprocally movable carriers each provided with a drive dog and a stop dog tiltably pivoted to the carrier and biased toward a tilted position in the direction opposite to a direction of transport of filter plates, a stopper for preventing the drive dog positioned toward the opposite direction from tilting toward that direction and releasing the drive dog from its prevented position, another stopper for preventing the stop dog from tilting toward the transport direction, and a freely movable member pushable by the drive dog to raise the stop dog when the drive dog tilts toward the transport direction. After all the filter plates have been transported, the stopper for the drive dog is manually or automatically operated to release the drive dog toward its tilted position, and the direction of the travel of the carrier is reversed, causing the carrier to return free of interference with the group of transported filter plates toward a standby position, where the carrier is stopped with the drive dog held in its raised position by the stopper.
