Abstract
A transfer apparatus for transferring a plurality of workpieces has a pair of transfer rails along which a plurality of jig pallets each carrying a work run. A transfer bar is disposed between the pair of transfer rails so as to reciprocatingly move in the longitudinal direction of the rails. A plurality of engaging claws are disposed on the transfer bar so as to be able to pivot in planes which are perpendicular to the direction of the transfer so as to be brought into and out of engagement with the respective jig pallets by the operation of a pair of cylinder devices arranged on both sides of the transfer bar. In consequence, the jig pallets are transferred solely by linear motion of the transfer bar.
