A conveying arm of the invention includes a first pivotable shaft connected to a first arm which is also pivotably connected to a third arm having an intermediate pivotable portion. The third arm is also pivotably connected to a fifth arm which is also pivotably connected to a seventh arm which has a holding portion for an object to be conveyed. The conveying arm also includes a second pivotable shaft connected to a second arm which is also pivotably connected to a fourth arm having an intermediate pivotable portion. The fourth arm is also pivotably connected to a sixth arm which is also pivotably connected to the seventh arm. With respect to both the third and fourth arms, a line linking one-side end portion to an intermediate pivotable portion is substantially perpendicular to a line linking the other-side end portion to the intermediate pivotable portion.
