should be slightly wider than the width of the four sided compression chamber to enable the movable top with fixed end resistance block 232 with its subcomponent fixed end 231 to close the end of the four sided compression chamber

 

In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 1B and Fig. 9, in operation the set of springs 253 are loaded into the spring loading area 259. Then the hydraulic pump 240 activates the movable cylinder 250 moving the movable side ram 248 forward into the two sided compression chamber 246. Then the hydraulic pump 240 activates the movable cylinder 540 moving the movable top with fixed end resistance block 252 downward to rest upon the top of the two sided compression chamber 246. The hydraulic pump 240 activates the movable cylinder 255 which moves the movable sub-top 258 downward engaging the set of springs 253 such that the set of springs is compressed via the downward force 16 applied by the movable sub-top 258 and the upward force 24 applied by the bottom of the two sided compression chamber 246. This action creates a four sided compression chamber comprising the movable sub-top 258 and the two sided compression chamber 246 and the movable side ram 248 hereafter referred to as the four sided compression chamber. Then hydraulic pump 240 activates movable cylinder 244 moving powered ram 242 forward into the four sided compression chamber compressing the set of springs 253 beyond their bending point against the fixed end of the movable top 241 with fixed end resistance block 252. Then hydraulic pump 240 activates movable cylinder 244 moving powered ram 242 backward in the four sided compression chamber to relieve the pressure on now compressed set of springs 253 and the fixed end of the movable top 241with fixed end resistance block 252. Then the hydraulic pump 240 activates the movable cylinder 255 which moves the movable sub-top 258 upward to its original shown position. Then the hydraulic pump 240 activates the movable cylinder 254 moving the movable top with fixed end resistance block 252 upward clear of the top of the two sided compression chamber 246 and back to its original position as shown. Then hydraulic pump 240 activates movable cylinder 244 moving powered ram 242 forward in the two sided compression chamber 246 with third side formed via movable side powered ram 248 pushing the now compacted set of springs 253 out the far end of two sided compression chamber 246 with third side formed via movable side powered ram 248. Then hydraulic pump 240 activates movable cylinder 244 moving powered ram 242 backward in the two sided compression chamber 246 with third side formed via movable side powered ram 248 to its original position as shown. Then hydraulic pump 240 activates movable cylinder 250 pulling the movable side ram 248 back to its original position as shown.

In further detail, referring to Fig. 9, the movable powered ram 242 and movable top 241 with fixed end resistance block 252 and the two sided compression chamber 246 and the movable side powered ram 248 may be constructed of material of adequate strength to withstand both the initial pressures of compressing the set of springs 253 and the increased pressures exerted by the set of springs 253 during the compaction operation as the movable powered ram 242 compacts the compressed set of springs 253 against the movable top with fixed end resistance block 241 with its subcomponent fixed end 252, preferably the material may be metal, more preferably the material may be metal harder than the metal of the set of springs 253, and more preferably the material may be machine finished metal harder than the metal of the set of springs 253.
