ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates a vibration feeder, and more specifically to a shock absorbing support arrangement for a vibration feeder.
In a vibration feeder, a cam is moved with the output shaft of a motor relative to a shank, causing the shank to vibrate, and therefore work pieces are distributed to assembly lines in good order. Because shocks are produced during the operation of the vibration feeder, the component parts around the shank tend to be damaged.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is one object of the present invention to provide a shock absorbing support arrangement, which lessens shock waves during the operation of the vibration feeder, preventing damage to surrounding mechanisms. It is another object of the present invention to provide a shock absorbing support arrangement, which is practical for use in any of a variety of vibration feeders. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shock absorbing support arrangement comprises an upright support fixedly mounted on a bottom plate to hold a bearing, a carrier board slidably coupled to the upright support, two shock absorbing sliding mechanisms respectively mounted on the upright support at different elevations to hold the carrier board there between, enabling the carrier board to be smoothly oscillated upon operation of the vibration feeder.
