Abstract
A compactor includes a plate, a shaft rotatably supported upon the plate, an electric motor configured to cause rotation of the shaft, and an eccentric mass arranged to rotate on the shaft, causing the plate to vibrate in response to rotation of the eccentric mass. The eccentric mass is configured to translate along the shaft.
Claims22
A compactor comprising:
- a frame;
- a plate coupled to the frame;
- a shaft rotatably supported upon the plate;
- an eccentric mass arranged to rotate on the shaft and configured to vibrate the plate relative to the frame in response to rotation of the eccentric mass, and further configured to effect movement of the plate compactor in a first linear direction and in a second linear direction opposite the first linear direction;
- an elongated handle coupled to the frame and having a grip portion;
- and
- a digital user interface coupled to the elongated handle and configured to control movement of the compactor between a first movement state in which the compactor moves in the first linear direction, and a second movement state in which the compactor moves in the second linear direction.
