Electric shaker conveyor assembly
First Claim
1. A shaker conveyor assembly comprising:
- a housing, a drive system supported by said housing and at least one transport tray supported by said housing and operatively connected to said drive system;
said drive system including an electric motor that produces a rotary output, a cam assembly operatively connected in driven relationship to said rotary output of said electric motor so as to rotate therewith, and a cam follower assembly operatively connected to said transport tray and responsive to the rotation of said cam assembly to produce repeated, reciprocating linear motion and to transmit this motion to said transport tray so as to convey items therealong.

Abstract
A shaker conveyor assembly including a housing, a drive system supported by the housing and at least one transport tray supported by the housing and operatively connected to the drive system. The drive system includes an electric motor that produces a rotary output. A cam assembly is operatively connected in driven relationship to the rotary output of the electric motor so as to rotate therewith. A cam follower assembly is operatively connected to the transport tray and is responsive to the rotation of the cam assembly to produce repeated, reciprocating, linear motion and to transmit this motion to the transport tray so as to convey items therealong.
