(under subclass 217) Apparatus in which the compressor includes spaced parallel or tong type bars, each having co-planar jaws at one end for engaging the spring from the side, the other ends of the bars being connected by a screw operated mechanism for moving the jaws and bars toward or away from each other in a compressing operation.
(1) Note. The bars may be parallel and maintained parallel by the mechanism, or may be substantially parallel but pivoted to the mechanism, which mechanism operates the bars around the pivot in quasi tong type.
