SOUND DEADENER FOR VIBRATORY CONVEYOR

摘要

A vibratory conveyor including structure for deadening sound incurred during operation thereof by reason of the contact of a conveying surface with articles being conveyed. A chamber is provided underneath the conveying surface and in abutment therewith and the chamber is substantially sealed. An inlet near the input end of the conveying surface is provided to the chamber to permit entry of particles thereinto with the result that the vibrating mechanism for the vibratory conveyor will compact the particles against the underside of the conveying surface to preclude the same from vibrating at a frequency within the audible range. A method for practicing the invention is also specified.
