Abstract
An article or workpiece manipulator mechanism for accelerated shot treating apparatus in which workpieces are subjected to media impingement such as impingement by steel shot. The mechanism manipulates the workpieces within the path or stream of the shot so that desired surfaces of the workpieces are impacted by the shot. This is accomplished by reciprocal or continuous rotation of the workpiece by the manipulator mechanism and also the angle at which the workpiece is held while being rotated can be adjusted by the mechanism.
