Abstract
A transport object support means () is rotated about an anteroposterior axis () by a rotary control means (), whereby a transport object () supported by the transport object support means () can be displaced in the vertical direction and the orientation of the transport object () can be varied during the vertical displacement without moving the carriage (). As a result, the distance needed to displace the transport object () in the vertical direction can be dispensed with, the section (apparatus) for treating the transport object () can be shortened and made more compact, and the varying orientation of the transport object () can be utilized to perform a variety of treatments smoothly and efficiently without affecting the environment.
