Vibratory finishing machine

A vibratory finishing machine comprising:

• a tub-like container having a substantially open upper side and defining a peripheral rim portion, said container adapted to receive workpieces and a finishing media,
• means for imparting vibratory movement to said container and thereby causing said media to perform a finishing operation on said workpieces,
• said last mentioned means including,
• a support structure for said container and including a base adapted to rest upon a support surface,
• said support structure also including a container support section projecting upwardly from said base to a position subjacent said rim portion of said container,
• spring means connected between the uppermost part of said support section and said container rim for resiliently supporting said container thereon,
• a vibratory mechanism including,
• an eccentrically weighted vibratory shaft,
• said shaft extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said container at a position located below said container and offset asymmetrically from the center of said container, and
• weight means on said container and disposed asymmetrically of said centerline thereof in the direction opposite from said vibratory shaft.
