Abstract (en)

[origin: US4428161A] A vibrating abrasive container is formed with track-line which lies in a plane running at an acute angle to the horizontal and therefore at an acute angle to the vertical axis of the vibration generator, in such a manner that the uppermost and lowermost points face each other approximately diametrically, thereby causing a spirally circulating processing movement of the contents of the container to take place on the descending section of the container.
