ABSTRACT:
A transporting direction controlling or translating device employs a rotor member having a plane contacting with an object to be transferred. The rotor member is rotatably supported by a rotary shaft which is tiltable in variable directions for tilting the plane. By the tilting direction of the plane and the rotating direction of the rotor member, the transporting direction can be changed. Preferably, the rotor member comprises a substantially cylindrical or disc-shaped roller with the contacting plane. The roller is adapted to contact with the object at a point on the contacting plane. In such case, the force to feed the object is exerted on the object in tangential direction relative to the circular trace of the contacting point. Therefore, by adjusting the position of the contacting point, at which the contacting point comes in contact with the object, transporting direction can be changed.
