Claim Text:
1. An oscillating conveyor comprising an oscillating rail, on which goods can be conveyed in the direction of a first position on the oscillating rail by oscillation of the oscillating rail, and also comprising at least one excitation element for exciting the oscillation, wherein the excitation element is an ultrasonic transducer which is coupled to the oscillating rail at the first position and via which the oscillating rail can be excited into oscillating at the first position in dependence on a control signal supplied by a control device, wherein the oscillating rail itself is formed from an oscillation-damping material, so that the oscillation amplitude decreases along the oscillating rail as the distance from the first position increases, and the oscillating conveyor further comprising a damping element including a further ultrasonic transducer coupled to the oscillating rail at a second position, wherein the control device is designed to feed to the further ultrasonic transducer a further control signal having a predetermined phase position in relation to the control signal of the ultrasonic transducer.
