Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a conveying apparatus which guides a conveying target object in the conveying direction while preventing it from falling off from rollers and in which intervals between the adjacent rollers can be narrowed. The present invention is a conveying apparatus comprising a plurality of rollers which are arranged in a conveying direction of a conveying target object and on which the conveying target object is to be placed, wherein the plurality of rollers include a first roller and a second roller adjacent to the first roller, the first roller comprises a first placement portion on which the conveying target object is to be placed, and a large diameter portion which has a larger diameter than that of the first placement portion and guides the conveying target object in the conveying direction, and the second roller comprises a second placement portion on which the conveying target object is to be placed, and a small diameter portion which has a smaller diameter than that of the second placement portion and prevents interference between the large diameter portion and the second roller.
