- a semi-circular guide rail 10 for guiding the front wheel 6 is installed, and the center of the front wheel 6 is at the extreme end of the direction changing portion and the maximum misalignment dimension W from the rotation locus of the step chain 12 is set.
- the semi-circular guide rail 10 is formed so as to be as follows. Due to the eccentricity of the guide rail 10 reaching the swelled maximum misalignment dimension W, the interval between the adjacent steps 5 is increased, and as a result, interference between adjacent steps when changing directions (collision). Is avoided.
- the length of the pivot pitch P of the connection link 24 is shorter than the maximum misalignment dimension W, the front wheel 6 can be moved by expanding in the movement direction outside the rotation locus of the step chain 12. If the length of the pivot pitch P is the same as the maximum misalignment dimension W, the connecting link 24 becomes horizontal at the maximum misalignment dimension W. In the vicinity, the moving force of the step chain 12 cannot be transmitted to the step 5, so that the front wheel 6 falls on the semi-circular guide rail 10 due to its own weight and the distance from the preceding step In other words, the distance between the step 5 and the subsequent step 5 is reduced by narrowing the distance, or the distance between the step 5 and the subsequent step 5 is reduced, thereby hindering the smooth turning operation of the step 5.
