the trough 12 and at the other end to brackets 38 carried respectively by the anchor block 30 and base member 18 a plurality of springs 64 are mounted between cross braces 52 on the base 18 and mounting brackets 66 carried by the underportion of the trough 12 each spring 64 has an axis lying generally parallel to the direction of the vibratory movement of the conveyor as will be described more fully hereinafter a drive system generally designated 72 is provided for imparting vibratory movement to the material carrying member or trough 12 which system includes an electric motor 74 carried by the base 18 and connected by a belt 76 to drive a shaft 78 carried by the base 18 and to which shaft 78 eccentric weights 80 are drivingly connected the shaft 78 is drivingly connected to connecting rods 82 which in turn are connected to brackets 84 carried by the trough 12 so as to provide vibratory conveying motion to the trough 12 the particular form of vibration imparting system is not a part of the present invention and thus such vibrating means will not be further described herein an example of a typical vibrating system 72 is shown in musschoot u s pat no 3 750 866 assigned to the common assignee of the present application the apparatus hereinabove described when operated will produce vibrations in the trough generally along the line a in fig1 thereby to produce the movement of the conveyor and to create the throw and catch of the material along the trough the present invention contemplates particularly a relatively steep inclined angle for the trough 12 and a v shaped configuration in.
