In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 1A and 1C, the movable powered ram 26 should be of adequate power that from a lateral angle it can compress metal spring 28 beyond the metal’s bending point, and more preferably the movable powered ram 26 should be of adequate power that from a lateral angle it can compress metal spring 28 to its metal’s total failure. Fixed resistance block 32 should be of adequate strength to resist the pressure exerted on it via the movable powered ram 26 and metal spring 28 during the compression of metal spring 28. The spring stabilizer 30 should be of adequate strength to hold the metal spring 28 in position between angles 10 and 12 until metal spring 28 is engaged or just prior to being engaged by the pressure of movable powered ram 26, and more preferably the spring stabilizer 30 should be of adequate strength to hold the metal spring 28 in position between angles 10 and 12 until metal spring 28 is engaged or just prior to being engaged by the pressure of movable powered ram 26 and/or the resistance force exerted via fixed resistance block 32.
The construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 1C for the movable powered ram 26, the fixed resistance block 32, the surface 33, and spring stabilizer 30 comprise metal of hardness adequate to sustain repeated operation cycles relative to the metal in metal spring 28. The movable powered ram 26 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 28. The fixed resistance block 32 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, concrete, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 28. The spring stabilizer 30 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 28. The surface 33 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, concrete, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 28.
The advantages of the invention as shown in Fig. 1A and 1C include, without limitation, the increased spring compaction efficiency added via holding the metal spring 28 in position between angles 10 and 12 via the spring stabilizer 30 in preparation for the movable powered ram 26 to compress the metal spring 28 against fixed resistance 32.
In broad embodiment, the present invention as shown in Fig. 1C may be of any size, may comprise a plurality of movable powered rams 26, may comprise a plurality of spring stabilizers 30, may comprise a plurality of surfaces 33 of any shape and on any or all sides, may be operated in a horizontal or vertical inclination or any angle inbetween.
Fig. 1D shows a side view of one embodiment of a single metal spring 38 ready for compacting comprising ; a movable powered ram 36, a fixed resistance block 40, and a metal spring 38 in its equilibrium length position there being no forces applied to metal spring 38 , a electro magnet 44, an electric current supply 43, and a surface 42.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 1D, in operation the base of metal spring 38 rests on surface 42 and electro magnet 44 when electric current 43 is flowing creates a magnetic field which holds the base of metal spring 38 against surface 42. Movable powered ram 36 moves
