To mount an unfinished vehicle on an overhead conveyor with high accuracy by resolving positional deviation in a width direction which occurs during ultimate transfer to the overhead conveyor, by a simple constitution.SOLUTION: An overhead conveyor 10 comprises a pair of supports 17 and 17 which support an underbody 2 of an unfinished vehicle 1 on both sides thereof in a width direction. The pair of supports 17 and 17 have centering parts which allow the unfinished vehicle 1 to be located at a prescribed position in the width direction by using falling-down of the unfinished vehicle 1 due to its own weight, and the centering parts are constituted of a pair of rollers 20 and 20 which are rotatable in contact with inner sides 5a in the width direction of concave and convex portions 5 located on both sides in the width direction of the underbody 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】簡易な構成で最終的なオーバーヘッドコンベアへの移載時に生じる幅方向の位置ずれを解消して完成前車両を精度よくオーバーヘッドコンベアに搭載する。【解決手段】オーバーヘッドコンベア10は、完成前車両1のアンダーボデー2をその幅方向両側で支持する一対の支持部17,17を備える。一対の支持部17,17は、完成前車両1の自重による下降を利用して完成前車両1を所定の幅方向位置にセンタリング可能とするセンタリング部を有し、センタリング部は、アンダーボデー2の幅方向両側に位置する凹凸部5の幅方向内側5aにそれぞれ当接しながら回転可能な一対のローラ20,20で構成される。【選択図】図5
