Abstract
A vibratory conveyor composed of a plurality of parallel vibratory conveying troughs for transporting fragile articles, the troughs being driven by a conveyor drive composed of a rotatable drive shaft and at least one group of at least four drive elements each connected to undergo oscillatory movement in response to rotation of the drive shaft. Each trough is connected to a respective drive element to undergo vibratory movement in response to rotation of the drive shaft. The drive elements of the group are arranged in two equal subgroups bearing a mirror image configuration to one another relative to a plane normal to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft, and the drive elements of each subgroup are connected to the drive shaft in such a manner that their respective oscillatory movements are uniformly offset in phase from one another.
