Abstract
Abstract A vibratory device has a vibrating chassis disposed horizontally or inclined and which is actuated by linear vibration by means of a vibrator having two unbalanced shafts rotating synchronously in opposite directions. For obtaining continuous regulation, during functional operation, of the reciprocal angular phase displacement of the unbalancing masses, the unbalanced shafts are connected with two drive shafts coupled by a chain. The two runs of the chain can be altered in length by adjustment of a pivoting lever.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A vibratory device comprising a chassis, means for mounting the chassis for vibration in a vertical direction and a longitudinal horizontal direction, a vibrator having two horizontal parallel unbalanced shafts mounted transversely to the longitudinal axis of the chassis, having equal unbalanced masses and synchronously rotating in opposite directions to produce linear vibration of the chassis in a plane, passing through a line which is situated in the plane common to the axes of the two shafts and is substantially at equal distances from these axes, the two unbalanced shafts being each driven by a separate motor, the motors being synchronized asynchronous electric motors whose rotors are electrically coupled and whose stators are connected to the same electrical supply, the stator of one of the said motors being rotatively displaceable so as to obtain an angular phase displacement of the inductor field, and thus of the rotor of this motor, with respect to the other motor, with control means for continuously regulating, during functional operation, said angular phase displacement.
