This invention relates in general to bag separators and deals more particularly with improvements in a separator of the type having a manually operated bag shaker mechanism. In a bag separator of the aforedescribed generally type, the shaker mechanism must be operated periodically to dislodge dust or other caked particulate material from the filter bags disposed within the separator.
Heretofore, various types of manually operated bag shakers have been provided and typical examples of such mechanisms are found in the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 842,529 1,110,344 1,856,133
Manually operated shaker mechanisms heretofore available generally operate in response to manually applied push-pull or rotary motion and require substantial expenditure of time and energy.
It is the general aim of the present invention to provide an improved manually operable bag shaker mechanism which may be operated with minimal expenditure of time and energy.
