activates the plurality of movable cylinders 492 pulling their subcomponent slinder vertical powered ram 491 back to where they are flush with the side wall of the secondary three sided compaction chamber 484. Then the hyrdraulic pump 490 activates the plurality of movable cylinders with shafts 480 pulling their shafts downward to their original shown position. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the movable cylinder 488 pushing the powered ram 486 forward into the secondary three sided compaction chamber 484 towards the resistance block 481 compacting the now compacted and folded set of springs 485 within the secondary three sided compaction chamber 484 between the powered ram 486 and the resistance block 481. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the movable cylinder 488 pulling the powered ram 486 back just enough to relieve the pressure on the now folded and twice compacted set of springs 485. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the plurality of movable cylinders 482 raising the resistance block 481 above the secondary three sided compaction chamber 484. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the movable cylinder 488 pushing the powered ram 486 forward pushing the now folded and twice compacted set of springs 485 out of the secondary three sided compaction chamber 484. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the movable cylinder 488 pulling the powered ram 486 back to its original shown position. Then the hydraulic pump 490 activates the plurality of movable cylinders 482 lowering the resistance block 481 back to its original shown position.
In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 23, the relative positions of the movable cylinders 492 with their subcomponent slinder vertical powered ram 491 and the plurality of movable cylinders with shafts 480 is dependent upon the final desired length of compacted set of springs 485.
The construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 23 are "as shown" and "may be" made of steel, more preferably steel harder than the steel in the set of springs 485.
The advantages of the present invention shown in Fig. 23 include, without limitation, the ability to control the length of the compacted set of springs 485 to optimize market sales price based upon length and width measurements of scrap metal.
In broad embodiment, the invention Fig. 23 is a metal spring compactor of any shape or size with a secondary compaction chamber with the ability to fold the once compacted set of springs and which comprises 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 and then folded and compacted again to adjust its dimensions.
Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 24 there is shown one embodiment of the current invention comprising: a set of springs 497 with a subcomponent set of tie wires 495, a cross section of one point of the set of tie wires 494, and a hand held powered rebar cutter 496.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 17 and Fig. 24, in operation the hand held powered rebar cutter 496 are used to cut a plurality of points 494 on the subcomponent set of tie wires 495 of the set of springs 497. Then the cut set of springs 497 is placed on the set of rollers 412 which when released allows the cut set of springs 497 to move across the set of rollers 412 into
