subcomponent outer panel 397 (Typical of all outer panels.) which in turn causes the cylindrical compaction chamber assembly 404’s the subcomponent spring tensioned inner panel 396 (Typical of all spring tensioned inner panels.) to move the subcomponent spring tensioned inner panel 396 (Typical of all spring tensioned inner panels.) apart increasing the inside circumfrence of the cylindrical compaction chamber assembly 404 to its original size. Then the hydraulic pump 402 activates the movable cylinder 398 which lowers the movable resistance block 400 down to its original position. Then the hydraulic pump 402 activates the movable cylinder 392 which moves the powered ram 393 back to its original position ready for the next cycle.
In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 16, the spring loading area 399 needs to be of adequate size to fully accept the set of springs 403 and the spring loading area 399’s shape needs to be such that the set of springs 403 is formed into a cylindrical shape that will fit into the cylindrical compaction chamber assembly 404.
The construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 16 are "as shown" and "may be" made of steel, more preferably made of steel harder than the steel in the set of springs 403.
The advantages of the present invention shown in Fig. 16 include, without limitation, the efficiency of using the individual spring’s restoring force when the set of springs 403 is rolled into a cylindrical shape plus the added compression force of the cylindrical compaction chamber assembly 404 to hold the individual springs in place during the compaction process.
In broad embodiment, the invention Fig. 16, comprises a metal spring compactor of any cylindrical shape or size which comprises an adjustable cylindrical compaction chamber and at least one powered ram and at least one resistance or opposing force between which at least one metal spring is laterally to its axis of resistance compressed beyond its bending point or elastic limit.
Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 17 there is shown one embodiment of the current invention comprising: a compaction chamber top 414, a three sided compaction chamber bottom 410, a set of rollers 412 at an angle of inclination 415, a set of springs 411 of height 413 and width 407 and length 408, and a four sided compaction chamber 409 which comprises the combination of the compaction chamber top 414 and the three sided compaction chamber bottom 410.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 17, in operation the set of springs 411 is placed on the set of rollers 412 which when released allows the set of springs 411 to move across the set of rollers 412 into the three sided compaction chamber bottom 410 followed by the lowering of the compaction chamber top 414 which then completes the loading the set of springs 411 into the four sided compaction chamber 409.
In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 17, the relative size of the opening in the three sided compaction chamber bottom 410 must be slightly larger than the dimensions of the set of springs 411 of height 413 and width 407 and length 408. The plurality of the set of rollers 412 needs to be of adequate number to both support the set of springs 411 and allow the set of springs
