Abstract: A paint shaker has a base on which is mounted a motor support plate by four vertical compression springs. A vertically oriented electric motor depends from the motor mounting plate and has an eccentric flyweight secured to its output shaft above the motor mounting plate. A container support plate is mounted on the motor support plate by four additional vertical compression springs that are stiffer than the lower springs. A frame structure is mounted on the container support plate to enable clamping one or more containers thereon.
