止させてある。Under the floor, a ring-shaped path 1 is installed in a generally flat plane, the ring-shaped path 1 is housed in a ring-shaped cover 2, and a lifting device 3 is installed in a part of the ring-shaped path 1. A chain (strand) 4 is laid in an annular shape in the lower part of the annular path 1, and one side of a base plate 6 of a carriage 5 is attached to the chain 4 by a pin 7 and is provided on the other side of the base plate 6. The pin 9 of the chain 4 is loosely fitted into the long hole 8. The surface of the ring road 1 is formed in a substantially flat surface so that the wheels 10 and 10 of the carriage 5 can roll.
Carts 5 are attached to the chain 4 at equal intervals and at a direction changeable interval, and are engaged with the sprocket 11.

利な場合が多い。In the elevating device 3, a pair of elevating rods 12 and 12 are installed to oppose each other so as to sandwich the elevating rod 12 at a proper position of the annular path 1. The elevating rods 12 and 12 are provided with the elevating rod 12 respectively. The tip end of the arm rod 13 to be raised and lowered is slidably attached along its long side, the base end of the arm rod 13 is fixed to the rotating shaft 14, the gear 15 is fixed to the rotating shaft 14, and the gear 15
Is connected to a gear 17 fixed to the shaft of the motor 16 via intermediate gears 18 and 19. It is possible to freely select the interlocking system such that the interlocking system is omitted, the rotary shaft 14 is directly connected to the shaft of the reduction motor, or an arbitrary number of gears are interposed. In short, any drive device can be used as long as it moves the arm rod 13 back and forth at a constant speed in order to move the elevator rod 12 up and down at a predetermined speed. Further, the carriage 5 is carried by the movement of the chain 4, and the cage 20 (other arbitrary container) on the carriage 5 is moved by the chain 4. However, if the bottom plate of the cage 20 is provided with a hooking portion for the chain 4 and wheels are attached, it can also be used as a trolley. In this case, even if the basket is lifted on the floor, the wheels can be used as they are, which is often convenient.

で持ち上げられる。In the above embodiment, when the motor 21 is started, the sprocket 33 fixed to its shaft is rotated, so that the sprocket 11 is rotated via the chain 22,
Since the chain 4 that engages with the sprocket 11 is moved in the direction of arrow 23, for example, the carriage 5 also moves in the same direction, and the cage 20 on the carriage 5 also moves in the same direction. Next, when the motor 16 is started and the rotary shaft 14 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 24 through the gears 17, 18, 19, 15, the arm rod 13 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 25. Then, the lifting rod 12 rises in the direction of the arrow 26. In this case, the end of the guide arm 27 moves along the rail 28 in the direction of the arrow 29, and the auxiliary arm 3
0 moves in the direction of arrow 31 along the lifting rod 12.
Therefore, the elevating rod 12 rises from the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 to the position shown by the chain line. That is, the basket 20 is lifted from under the floor to above the floor.
