Coil Spring Compactor

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for compacting the springs of mattresses and box springs. The present invention compresses the springs in at least two, preferably three different directions. One compression is achieved through actuation of a crush chamber door. At least two of the three directions of compression are perpendicular to an axis through the springs. After the final compression is performed, the compressed springs are discharged from the crush chamber in a direction parallel to the direction of the final compression.

1. A method for compacting the springs from mattresses and/or box springs comprising:
loading at least one spring into a crush chamber; compressing the at least one spring in a first direction substantially perpendicular to an axis formed through the at least one spring; compressing the at least one spring in a second direction substantially perpendicular to an axis formed through the at least one spring while maintaining the compression of the at least one spring in the first direction; and discharging the at least one spring from the crush chamber while maintaining the compression of the at least one spring in the first direction.
