Vibrator and related method

A vibrator as claimed in claimed 10, wherein the securing elements are bolts.

A vibrator including a vibrator unit, a housing coupled to said unit, and means within said housing for engaging a member to be vibrated whereby vibrations from said vibrator unit may be transmitted to said member.

A vibrator including a casing, vibration inducing means within said casing, a housing secured to said casing to be vibrated thereby and means within said housing for engaging and vibrating a member.

A vibrator including an elongated casing, a shaft extending longitudinally within said casing for rotation therein, an eccentric weight associated with said shaft for rotation thereby to create vibrations, a housing secured to said casing, and a plug secured within said housing and having at least one bore arranged to receive one end of a bar.

A vibrator including a casing, a rotatable eccentric within said casing, a housing secured to said casing, a plug secured within said housing, said plug having at least one bore extending at least partially therethrough and dimensioned to receive one end of a reinforcing bar whereby vibration created by rotation of said eccentric will be transmitted to said reinforcing bar.

A method of vibrating a member including the steps of placing a vibrator in contact with said member and vibrating said vibrator to vibrate said member.

A method of vibrating a bar including the steps of seating one end of said bar in a housing and vibrating said housing to impart vibrations said bar.

A method of setting concrete including the steps of providing at least one reinforcing bar, pouring wet concrete around said bar at least partially to embed said bar, seating a protruding end of said bar in a vibrator housing, and vibrating said vibrator housing to impart vibrations to said at least partially embedded bar.
