PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize advancing/retracting movement of a table, in order to hold a regulated distance between a vehicle conveyed by a conveyor and the table at a side of the conveyor, by using a purely mechanical mechanism synchronized with movement of the vehicle.SOLUTION: When a right-front wheel WRf of a vehicle B under conveyance abuts on a front end lever 56 of a trigger link mechanism, a lock mechanism changes over to an unlocked state, so that a table 4R advances toward the vehicle B according to energizing force. Accompanying the advancement of the table 4R, a tire guide member 52 abuts on a side surface of the right-front wheel WRf and is set into a positioning state. When the right-front wheel WRf has finished passing the front end lever 56, the lock mechanism changes back to a locked state, such that the table 4R is set into a positioning locked state and retained in this position. The same behavior is realized when the right-front wheel WRf first interferes with a wheel intrusion guide member 55.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18 【課題】コンベヤにより搬送される車両とコンベヤサイドのテーブルとの距離を規定の距離に保つためのテーブルの進退移動を、車両の動きに同期した純機械的な機構によって実現する。【解決手段】搬送中の車両Ｂの右前輪ＷＲｆがトリガーリンク機構の先端レバー５６に当接すると、ロック機構がアンロック状態となり、テーブル４Ｒが付勢力で車両Ｂに向かって前進する。テーブル４Ｒの前進に伴ってタイヤガイド部材５２が右前輪ＷＲｆの側面に当接すると位置決め状態となる。右前輪ＷＲｆが先端レバー５６を通過し終わるとロック機構がロック状態となり、テーブル４Ｒは位置決めロック状態となってその位置に保持される。右前輪ＷＲｆが先に車輪進入ガイド部材５５と干渉した場合も同様の挙動をする。【選択図】図１８
