Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
APPARATUS COMPRISING A VIBRATION GENERATING MEANS, A VIBRATORY ENERGY COUPLER HAVING ONE END AXIALLY CONNECT TO SAID VIBRATION GENERATING MEANS, COUPLER HAVING A LENGTH CORRESPONDING TO AN INTEGRAL NUMBER OF ONE-HALF WAVELENGTHS ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRY OF SAID COUPLER, A WORK PERFORMING TIP ON SAID COUPLER INTERMEDIATE THE ENDS THEREOF AND LOCATED AT A POINT SPACED FROM THE OTHER END OF SAID COUPLER BY A DISTANCE CORRESPONDING TO AN INTEGRAL NUMBER OF ONEHALF WAVELENGTHS ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRY OF SAID COUPLER, AND MEANS FOR APPLYING A STATIC FORCE TO SAID COUPLER AT A NODE OF VIBRATORY ENERGY IN SAID COUPLER, SAID NODE BEING SPACED AN ODD WHOLE NUMBER OF ONE-QUARTER WAVELENGTHS FROM SAID TIP, AT A POINT BETWEEN SAID TIP AND SAID OTHER END OD SAID COUPLER.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Independent Claim
163 words
A METHOD OF APPLYING A STATIC FORCE AND VIBRATORY ENERGY TO A WORK AREA COMPRISING THE STEPS OF GENERATING VIBRATORY ENERGY, PROVIDING A COUPLER HAVING A LENGTH CORRESPONDING TO A WHOLE NUMBER MULTIPLE OF ONE-HALF WAVELENGTHS ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRY OF SAID COUPLER AND HAVING A NODE SPACED AN ODD WHOLE NUMBER MULTIPLE OF ONE-QUARTER WAVELENGTH FROM A FREE END OF SAID COUPLER, TRANSMITTING SAID VIBRATORY ENERGY THROUGH THE COUPLER TO WORK PERFORMING TIP SECURED TO SAID COUPLER INTERMEDIATE ITS ENDS AND AT A LOCATION SPACED FROM THE FREE END OF SAID COUPLER BY A DISTANCE CORRESPONDING TO A WHOLE NUMBER MULTIPLE OF ONE-HALF WAVELENGTH OF VIBRATORY ENERGY ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRY OF SAID COUPLER, PROVIDING SAID TIP ON SAID COUPLER AT A LOCATION SO THAT SAID NODE IS BETWEEN SAID FREE END AND SAID TIP, AND APPLYING A STATIC FORCE TO SAID COUPLER AT SAID NODE IN A DIRECTION GENERALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF SAID COUPLER.
