Abstract
A vibrating two mass conveyor apparatus for conveying material includes a driven mass, which defines the vibratory material conveying path, and a driver mass for imparting a vibrating conveying force to the driven mass. A vibratory driven is operatively associated with the driver mass for imparting a vibratory force to the driver mass. The driven mass is located adjacent the driver mass, and is connected to the driver mass by resilient devices, such as coil springs. Link arms also interconnect the driven mass and driver mass, with the one end of each arm pivotally connected to the driven mass the other end pivotally connected to the driver mass. Supports connected to the link arms proximate the nodes of the link arms connect the apparatus to a support structure, such as the floor or roof of a building in which the conveyor apparatus is installed.
