Abstract:
1. A vibratory conveyor, comprising: a base frame which is positioned on a supporting surface; a reciprocally moveable conveyor bed for supporting a product for movement along the reciprocally moveable conveyor bed; a first multiplicity of elongated springs which are mounted on the base frame, and which resiliently support the reciprocally moveable conveyor bed in spaced relation relative to the base frame; and a conveyor bed driving assembly mounted on the base frame, and wherein the conveyor bed driving assembly has a non-moveable support member which is mounted on the base frame, and a reciprocally moveable driver which is biasingly supported on the non-moveable support member, and which further, when selectively energized, magnetically cooperates with the non-moveable support member so as to impart movement of the reciprocally moveable driver along a given path of travel, and simultaneously generates a physical force which is directed along a line of reference which passes through the reciprocally moveable conveyor bed, and is effective in causing reciprocal motion of the reciprocally moveable conveyor bed.
