Abstract
Articles are stored while preventing disruption of the flow of clean air from an upper region to a lower region to alleviate degradation of clean air with an article supported by an article support. The article support () is provided with a movable body () which is supported to a fixed frame () to be movable in a far-near direction with respect to a travel path and which is formed to extend downwardly from the fixed frame (), and a support member () formed to extend in the far-near direction from a lower end portion of the movable body (). The support member () consists of a contact support portion () which is narrower than the width of an article in a direction along the travel path and which extends in the far-near direction from a lower end portion of the movable body, and a movement restricting portion () which extends in a direction along the travel path from the contact support portion (), which has a vertical wall () which contacts a side surface of an article, and which is narrower than the article in the far-near direction.
