11b is formed. A caster 13 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame 11 so that the carrier 10 can travel freely.

The shelf 12 is made of a sheet metal or a stainless steel plate, and is provided in the left-right direction of the carrier 10, that is, the entrances 11 a,
It is V-shaped when viewed from the direction of 11b (see FIG. 1). More specifically, the shelf 12 has a pair of first and second inclined portions 12a and 12b. The sheet S on the shelf 12
Is placed at an angle. That is, the sheet S is
The seat Sa includes a seat back and a backrest Sb provided at a rear end of the seat Sa. The seat Sa has an L-shape when the seat Sa is placed horizontally. If it is tilted upward, it forms a V-shape. In this inclined state, the seat portion Sa is supported by the first inclined portion 12a, and the backrest Sb is supported by the second inclined portion 12b.

The shelf 12 extends in the left-right direction (in / out direction) of the outer frame 11, and two sheets S can be placed on one shelf 12 side by side. Therefore, six sheets S can be stored in the entire transport carriage 10.

The shelf 12 is movably supported by the outer frame 11 by a pair of support means 16 disposed on the front and rear portions of the outer frame 11. More specifically, the support means 16 has an aluminum guide rail 14 and wheels (engaging bodies) 15. The guide rail 14 is fixed to the outer frame 11 and the outer frame 1
1 extends horizontally in the left-right direction (in / out direction).
