GYRATOR FEEDER

摘要

A gyrator feeder that gyrates a dispensing member to uniformly and circumnavigating dispense material by generating a true circular orbital vibratory motion in the dispensing member by either rotating an offset weight along a vertical central axis of the dispensing member or by positioning vibratory motors diametrical opposite from each other on a gyrator housing and synchronizing the vibratory motors with each other to thereby dispense material.

主权项

1. A gyrator feeder for generating a true circular orbit comprising:
a hopper having an outlet; a gyrator having a having a static central vertical axis:a dispensing member partially obstructing the outlet with the dispensing member having a lip for retaining a material thereon when said gyrator is in an off condition and for dispensing material thereover when the gyrator is gyrating, said gyrator feeder including a stand having flexible supports located between said stand and said gyrator for flexibly supporting said gyrator on said stand to permit gyration of said gyrator with respect to said outlet of said hopper with said gyrator having an internal gyrating unit located along the static central vertical axis with the internal gyrating unit powered by a motor located radially off center of said gyrator and the dispensing member having a dynamic central axis that circumnavigates about the static central vertical axis of the dispensing member.
