Abstract
A conveyance-direction-changing device using a mechanism in which two rotational outputs caused by forward and reverse rotations of a single motor are extracted using first and second drive gears which are rotated in the same direction regardless of the rotational direction of the motor. A work-piece-conveying roller is held by a second driven gear which is rotated in an interlocked manner with the second drive gear, and the circumferential surface of the roller is set so as to be in contact with a first driven gear which is rotated in an interlocked manner with the first drive gear.
