Abstract
This invention is directed to a method and a device for positioning a body transported on a conveyer as a transporting path at a longitudinal predetermined positioned or a lateral predetermined position on the path. The method positively positions the body at a plurality of positions by way of selectively shifting and holding a longitudinal positioning member or a lateral position restricting plate, which slideably contacts with a vertical projecting wall of the body, at the longitudinal predetermined position depending on the configuration of each body, prior to the arrival of the body at either predetermined position on the path. The device comprises a structure mechanism including longitudinal positioning apparatus which enables selectively shifting and holding the longitudinal position of the body at a plurality of positions in contact with a tip reference portion of the body transported on the conveyor; lateral positioning apparatus which enables selectively shifting and holding the lateral position of the body at a plurality of left and right locations using the lateral position restricting plate slidable in contact with the vertical projecting wall of the body; and control a…
