Abstract
An accumulating apparatus () has an upper arm () in which a plurality of upper rollers () are arranged, and a lower arm () in which a plurality of lower rollers () are arranged. An upper gear () is fixed to the upper arm and a lower gear () is fixed to the lower arm. The upper gear is engaged with the lower gear so that the upper arm and the lower arm are simultaneously moved in opposite directions with respect to a vertical direction. Therefore, when moving the lower arm in the vertical direction, influence of the weight of the lower arm is canceled by the weight of the upper arm, and a force to move the lower arm upward can be reduced. As the result, an air cylinder () for changing a distance between the upper arm and the lower arm can be downsized.
