Claim Text:
1. A vibratory conveyor, comprising: an elongated, reciprocally movable conveyor bed for carrying a product along a path of travel, and wherein the movable conveyor bed has a center of mass; a base for supporting the reciprocally movable conveyor bed; a multiplicity of elongated springs extending from the base, and supporting the reciprocally movable conveyor bed in spaced, reciprocally movable relation relative to the base; and a drive assembly mounted on the base, and which has a pair of angulated magnet interaction members and a pair of reciprocally movable electromagnets which are biasingly spaced from the respective magnet interaction members, and wherein a selective energizing of the respective electromagnets effect a reciprocal motion of the electromagnets so as to create a reciprocating force which extends along a predetermined line of reference which passes through the center of mass of the reciprocally movable elongated conveyor bed, and which affects the movement of the product along the path of travel of the conveyor bed.
