Abstract:
The invention relates to a vibratory feeder comprising a support arrangement ( 8 ), for carrying out a vibrational movement when in operation, for a feeder element in which material ( 12 ) which is to be fed is fed, also comprising a drive arrangement ( 5 ) for the support arrangement ( 8 ) and a bearing arrangement ( 3 ) which initiates vibrational oscillations of the vibratory feeder ( 1, 30, 40, 60, 90, 100 ) reducing in the base ( 2 ). Means which suppress a movement of the vertical components due to the vibratory movement of the front end ( 10 a ) of the feeder element from that of the rear end ( 10 b ) when the vibratory feeder ( 30, 40, 60, 90, 100 ) is in operation are provided. The mass flow emitted by the vibratory feeder ( 30, 40, 60, 90, 100 ) can be easily changed without a time delay which can therefore improve the control of the vibratory feeder.

Claim (Index 6):
The vibration feeder according to  claim 1 , wherein the means for suppressing the deviation have a combined spring unit ( 61 a ,  61 b ) comprising a link ( 66 a ,  66 b ,  68 a ,  68 b ) provided in each case in the vibrational movement arrangement ( 6 ) and the bearing arrangement ( 3 ), and a support member ( 65 a ,  65 b ) provided in the drive arrangement ( 5 ) and extending over a height and inclined with respect to the vertical substantially at the throwing angle, wherein the links ( 66 a ,  68 a ,  66 b ,  68 b ) extend along the support member ( 65 a ,  65 b ) on different sides thereof, and wherein the link of the vibrational movement arrangement ( 6 ) is fixed to the support member ( 65 a ,  65 b ) in a lower region thereof and extends upwards, the link ( 68 a ,  68 b ) of the bearing assembly ( 3 ) is fixed to the support member ( 65 a ,  65 b ) in an upper region thereof and extends downwards, whereby the upper end of the link of the vibrational movement arrangement ( 6 ) is fixed to the support arrangement ( 8 ) and the lower end of the link ( 68 a ,  68 b ) of the bearing assembly ( 3 ) is fixed to the ground ( 2 ).
