## Abstract

The transport device includes a backflow prevention mechanism that prevents backflow in which workpieces are moved in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the backflow prevention mechanism has two backflow prevention valves 810 attached to an end portion of a transport rail, and each of the backflow prevention valves 810 has an inductive plate 812 inclined with respect to the predetermined direction from the center of the transport rail to the side along the predetermined direction, and a coupling plate 813 combining a center side end portion of the inductive plate 812 positioned close to the center of the transport rail and a side surface of the transport rail.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A transport device that transports workpieces in a predetermined direction on plural transport rails, comprising:
a backflow prevention mechanism that prevents backflow in which the workpieces are moved in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, wherein
the backflow prevention mechanism has two backflow prevention valves attached to an end portion of each of the transport rails, and
each of the backflow prevention valves has:
an inductive plate inclined with respect to the predetermined direction from the center of the transport rail to the side along the predetermined direction; and
a coupling plate combining a center side end portion of the inductive plate positioned close to the center of the transport rail and a side surface of the transport rail.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The transport device according to claim 1, wherein the coupling plate has a projecting portion projecting on the upper side of an upper end portion of the transport rail in the height direction of the transport rail, and
the projecting portion extends upward along the downstream side of the predetermined direction.
