Abstract
The present invention provides a small, quiet sonic cleaner which can be used to clean jewelry and other small objects. The cleaner includes a tank which is rigidly connected to a vibration generator such as an eccentrically loaded motor, and which is flexibly coupled to a base upon which the cleaner sits. The coupling of the tank to the base is preferably through progressive motion attenuators such as springs, which provide superior vibration isolation for the tank.
Claims10
A sonic cleaner, comprising
- a tank adapted to hold a cleaning fluid;
- a vibration generator coupled to the tank;
- and
- a base supporting the tank via a progressive motion attenuator, and hooks for supporting the object to be cleaned, said hooks disposed so as to be immersed in a cleaning solution contained in the tank, wherein the hooks are attached to the tank via a freely rotating joint;
- wherein the progressive motion attenuator acts to isolate the base from vibrations generated by the vibration generator.
