Abstract:
A mounting bracket assembly for connecting a rotary vibrator to a vibratory feeding device including:a) a base plate having a first surface, a second surface, and a predetermined thickness; b) a vibrator mounting plate having a first mounting surface, an interior surface and a predetermined thickness; c) a spacer member being retained and sandwiched between the second surface and an interior surface, said spacer member being made of an elastomer material and having a predetermined thickness; and wherein the base plate and the vibrator mounting plate are aligned in a selected relationship, the rotary vibrator being mounted to the first mounting surface so that sinusoidal vibratory forces developed by rotary operation of the rotary vibrator in a selected rotary direction are converted to impelling pulses at the first surface of the base plate, the impelling pulses are exerted in a predetermined linear direction, the predetermined linear direction being perpendicular to said first surface, and thereby applying said impelling pulses to the vibratory feeding device connected to said first surface of said base plate for advancing items thereon.
