より浮上させ、連続して無接触搬送する装置である。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The use of rollers for conveying or drying coated materials such as silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials and magnetic tapes that are coated on both sides or where surface scratches are extremely difficult to cause may cause scratches. It is preferable to avoid this as it may cause For this reason, a technique is known in which the web is conveyed by air flow without contact. That is, this is a device in which air blowing boxes are arranged alternately on both sides of the web, the web is floated by air flow, and the web is conveyed continuously in a non-contact manner.
【0003】このような装置においてはウエブを安定し
て走行させるためには、吹き出し風量を巾方向に均一化
し、浮き量の均一化をはかることが必要である。In order to run the web stably in such an apparatus, it is necessary to equalize the amount of air blown out in the width direction and to equalize the amount of floating.
【0004】しかしながら、空気吹き出し箱からの空気
吹き出し量とウエブの関係をウエブ巾方向について考え
ると、中央部に対してサイド部は空気の逃げがあるため
空気のウエブに対する吹き出し圧力は少なくなる。However, when considering the relationship between the amount of air blown from the air blowing box and the web in the width direction of the web, air escapes from the side portions compared to the center portion, so that the blowing pressure of air against the web decreases.

ストが増加するという問題が派生する。[0005] For this reason, there is a risk that the side portion of the web may come into contact with the balloon box. In particular, when coating is carried out using a web as a support and then transported or transported including drying, this tendency is exacerbated because there are uncoated areas on the sides, and contact between the coated layer and the balloon box can cause quality deterioration. Sometimes it brings. Such a local decrease in the floating amount of the web at the side portions is countered by a local increase in the air volume, but this results in problems such as increased vibration and increased running costs.

This is achieved by a conveying device characterized in that the curvature of the air blowing box in the web traveling direction is different between the center and the sides.
