This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18202974 titled 'VIBRATION GENERATING APPARATUS AND PICKUP SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vibration generating apparatus that is used to move a workpiece on a mounting surface.

  • The apparatus includes a trough on which the workpiece is mounted, two plate springs that support the trough, and a vibration generation unit.
  • The vibration generation unit causes the trough to vibrate by elastically deforming the plate springs.
  • As a result of the vibration, the workpiece on the mounting surface is moved.
  • The two plate springs are positioned along the movement directions of the workpiece.
  • Each plate spring has bent portions that project in the same direction as the movement directions of the workpiece.
