Abstract
Bi-directional vibratory conveyor apparatuses comprise an elongated horizontal conveying surface, a vibration inducing motor, and vertically-disposed legs under the horizontal conveying surface, the deflection of which via one or more deflector in conjunction with vibrations of the horizontal conveying surface by the vibration inducing motor induces directional travel of parts on the horizontal conveying surface based on the direction of deflection of the legs therebeneath. Methods of using the same are further provided.
