ABSTRACT:
A vibrator bracket assembly for mounting hopper vibrator equipment on hoppers is provided including at least two spaced apart support members each having a longitudinal axis adapted to integrally engage a structural portion of the hopper. A vibrator mounting bracket having first and second planar surfaces parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support members extends between the support members and is adapted to receive a vibrator to facilitate loading or unloading of the hopper. The vibrational forces are applied to the vibrator mounting bracket and are transmitted to the support members and are applied to the hopper structural portion by the support members essentially entirely as shear loads in the plane of the hopper structural portion. A mounting plate may be provided at right angles to the vibrator mounting bracket. The mounting plate is adapted to apply rotating vibrator loads to adjacent hopper side sheets essentially entirely in shear in the plane of the side sheets. The support members may be bars or plates. Slotted plates may be used to mount a vibrator on a transverse bulkhead in the hopper.
