  • Patent number: 5984572
    Abstract: To be able to start and stop vibration without resonating a vibratory body as well as to prevent a drawback of a conventional technology in which when a vibration generating shaft is rotated at a high speed, a torsional coil spring is worn by being brought into abrasive contact with a bent support member and a receiving seat and a large sound is generated when a main weight returns in an axial direction of the vibration generating shaft, there is provided a vibratory generating mechanism having a movable eccentric weight 4 rotatable around a pivoting shaft 3, a sliding member 11 capable of linearly moving on the axial line of the vibration generating shaft along a guide member 6 at one end of the vibration generating shaft, a connecting rod 12 one end of which is connected to the sliding member and other end of which is connected to the movable eccentric weight for transforming a displacement of a linear movement of the sliding member into a displacement of a rotational movement around a pivoting shaft of the
