Abstract
Complexity of construction of a vibratory feeder is minimized in an assembly including a base ( ) and an elongated, generally horizontal feeder ( ) spaced from the base ( ). A rotatably mounted eccentric ( ) is journaled on the feeder ( ) and is operable, when rotated, to impart vibration to the feeding surface ( ) of the feeder ( ). The feeder ( ) is interconnected to the base ( ) by an interconnection that consists essentially of springs ( ) having first ends ( ) connected to the feeder and opposite ends ( ) connected to the base ( ) while being located on a generally horizontal axis.
