compaction chamber 326. After the connector 317 is unattached from the chamber movable floor 313, then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 315 pulling it back to its original position as shown. Then the powered center pivot with arms 323 rotates the four sided compaction chamber 326 to the chamber cleaning position 311 where any debris is removed from the four sided compaction chamber 326. Then the powered center pivot with arms 323 rotates the four sided compaction chamber 326 to the chamber loading position 322 where the cycle may be repeated for the four sided compaction chamber 326. NOTE: The cycle described here is for the four sided compaction chamber 326. This same cycle applies to the four sided compaction chamber 328 and the four sided compaction chamber 334, and the four sided compaction chamber 309.
In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 12 "as shown", the sizes of all of the four sided compaction chambers 334, 309, 328, and 326 are the same and their interior dimensions slightly larger than the powered ram 330.
The construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 12 are "as shown" and "may be" made of steel, and more preferably made of steel harder than the steel in the set of springs 328.
Referring now to the invention shown in Fig. 12, via the addition of powered rams similar to powered ram 330 but of different dimensions coupled with the addition of four sided compaction chambers similar to 326 but sized relative to the now added powered rams, a plurality of different sized set of springs similar to 328 but of different sizes relative to the now added four sided compaction chambers and now added powered rams may be loaded and compacted .
The advantages of the present invention shown in Fig. 12 include, without limitation, the ability to load, compact, and unload sets of springs 328 in a continuous operation.
In broad embodiment, the invention Fig. 12 is a vertically oriented continuous metal spring system of any size or any shape which comprises any number of compaction chambers and any number of powered rams that loads, compacts, and unloads any shape of a set of springs.
Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 1c and Fig. 13 there is shown one embodiment of the current invention comprising: in the side view Fig. 13B , the four sided compacting chamber 350, a powered ram 342, a movable cylinder 340, a hydraulic pump 354, a movable cylinder 346, a movable resistance block 348, a movable cyclinder with long shaft 341,
a movable cyclinder with long shaft 343, a movable cyclinder with long shaft 347, a movable cyclinder with long shaft 349, a movable cyclinder with long shaft 352, a set of springs 357, and in the plan view Fig. 13A, a subcomponent holed top 344 with a row of holes 345, with a row of holes 351, with a row of holes 353, with a row of holes 355, and with a row of holes 356.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 13, in operation the hydraulic pump 354 activates the movable cyclinders with long shafts 341 and 343 and 347 and 349 and 352 and pulls the top of the long shafts down even with the top of the bottom of the four sided compacting chamber 350. (Typical for all movable cyclinders with long shafts and for all the row of holes 345
