compressed set of springs 233 against the movable top with fixed end resistance block 232 with its subcomponent fixed end 231, preferably the material may be metal, more preferably the material may be metal harder than the metal of the set of springs 233, and more preferably the material may be machine finished metal harder than the metal of the set of springs 233.

The advantages of the present invention as shown in Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B and Fig. 8 and Fig. 28 include, without limitation, the capability of compacting a set of springs 233 into a configuration suitable for recycling in the scrap metal market. The movable top with fixed end resistance block 232 with its subcomponent fixed end 231 allows side loading and/or end loading of the set of springs 233. The movable sub-top 226 allows the user to put pressure on the set of springs 233 increasing the set of springs 233 resistance to overturning during their compression.

In broad embodiment, the invention Fig. 1A and Fig.1B and Fig. 8 and Fig. 28 is a set of springs compactor of any shape which comprises at least one powered ram and at least one resistance or opposing force between which at least one set of springs 233 is held in place by the downward vertical force 16 applied to the set of springs 233 via the movable sub-top 226 or other movable side and by the upward vertical force 24 applied to the set of springs 233 via the bottom of the three sided compression chamber 234 while said set of springs 233 laterally to its axis of resistance 6 is compressed beyond its bending point or elastic limit. The powered ram 224 may be of fixed height as shown or the powered ram may be an adjustable height powered ram 814.

Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 1B, Fig. 9 and Fig. 28 there is shown one embodiment of the current invention comprising; a hydraulic pump 240, a movable cylinder 244, a powered ram 242, a movable cylinder 254, a movable sub-top 258, a movable top with fixed end resistance block 241 with its subcomponent fixed end 252, a two sided compression chamber 246 with a subcomponent extension 247, a spring loading area 259, a movable cylinder 250, a side ram 248, a set of springs 253 of height 251, an adjustable height powered ram 814, a downward force 16, and an upward force 24.

In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B and Fig. 9 and Fig. 28, the interior dimensions of the two sided compression chamber 246 may be slightly larger than the exterior dimensions of the set of springs 253 in order to enable end loading the set of springs 253 into the two sided compression chamber 246. When side loading of the set of springs 253 into loading area 259, the interior dimensions of the loading area 259 may be slightly larger than the exterior dimensions of the set of springs 253. The interior height of the four sided compression chamber may be optimized for maximum compression results but may be limited by the height of the movable powered ram 224 as the movable powered ram 224 must be able to move through the four sided compression chamber without damaging the four sided compression chamber. The interior height of the four sided compression chamber may be increased for a set of springs 233 with a height of 235 up to the maximum height of the adjustable height powered ram 814 via moving the movable sub-top 226 up as well as the adjustable height powered ram 814 must be able to move through the four sided compression chamber without damaging the four sided compression chamber. Further the height of the subcomponent fixed end 231 should be slightly more than the height of the four sided compression chamber and the width of the subcomponent fixed end 231
