Implement with vibrating tool
Abstract
Abstract A prime mover is mounted on a main implement frame. A crank in the main frame is connected by a gear drive to the prime mover to be rotated thereby. In one embodiment, the crank is in a lower chamber in the main frame and the gear drive is in an upper, oilfilled, chamber in the main frame. Positioned a spaced distance from the lower end of the main frame is a housing having an internal chamber which, in another embodiment, is filled with oil. A bellows encloses the space between the housing and the main frame. An oil aperture extends through the top of the housing to the space within the bellows. A reciprocating frame comprises three rods supported by rollers for longitudinal movement in the lower chamber of the main frame and in the upper, adjacent, wall of the housing. The rollers are on the outside of the rods and are grooved to fit the rods. The rods are positioned 120* apart. The reciprocating frame has a crossmember within the main frame at the upper ends of the rods, and a plate within the housing at the lower ends of the rods. The upper crossmember is connected to the crank so as to reciprocate the reciprocating frame. A compression spring extends between the upper crossmember and the upper wall of the housing. A second compression spring extends between the upper wall of the housing and the plate in the housing. The bottom of the housing forms a tamping foot.
