Ultrasonic Transducer with Shock Pulsing Masses

A device for the transmission of ultrasonic vibrations that establishes a plurality of node and anti-node positions along a central axis of an ultrasonic waveguide, said device comprising:

• said ultrasonic waveguide comprising:
• a waveguide tube, a waveguide fitting, and an impact surface;
• said waveguide tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
• said waveguide fitting having an attachment end and a waveguide tube coupler;
• said waveguide tube coupler adapted to receive and fixedly secure to said proximal end of said waveguide tube;
• a spring and a shock-pulsing mass, each positioned on said ultrasonic waveguide;
• a stop positioned on said ultrasonic waveguide, adapted to non-fixedly engage said spring or said shock-pulsing mass;
• said spring and said shock-pulsing mass are both interposed between said stop and said impact surface;
• an adjustment means for adjusting the position of said stop along the central axis of said ultra-sonic waveguide;
• and
• said impact surface positioned within at least one λ/6 of an anti-node position along the central axis of said ultra-sonic waveguide when said attachment end of said waveguide fitting is attached to an operating device.
