Abstract: A vibratory mechanism for a pile driver com-prises a static part and a dynamic part. The dynamic part is movable with respect to the static part. The static part is provided with a drivable crankshaft and the dynamic part comprises a housing and a vibration member. The vibration member is drivably coupled to the crankshaft through a connecting rod and linearly movable with respect to the housing in a direction of vibration. The housing is resiliently coupled to the vibration member.
Abstract: A rotary-vibratory drill coupling has a first component with a plurality of spaced-apart members. Each member has a pair of opposed, spaced-apart faces defining a slot therebetween. A second component has a plurality of angularly spaced-apart blade-like projections extending radially thereon. Each of the projections is slidably received between one pair of the opposed, spaced-apart faces on the first component. Preferably there are anti-friction linings between the projections and the faces.
