Problems solved by technology

Occasionally, these fluctuations may cause tearing to initiate in the lateral edge portions of the sheet stock material, which may cause the machine to jam or cause detrimental effects on dunnage product quality
[0005] Other machines are constructed in such a way that access to parts inside the machine is prevented, for example, for assembly or service of the parts, due to the particular orientation of the machine or the way in which parts are installed in it.

Embodiment Construction

[0090] Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, see first Figures 1 to 4 , which shows a dunnage conversion machine 10 and stand 12 according to the present invention. Dunnage conversion machine 10 converts sheet-like stock material, such as one or more layers of recycled and reusable kraft paper, into strips of dunnage comprising, for example, narrower three-dimensional strips or substantially cylindrical strands. Machine 10 has an upstream end 14 at which sheet stock material is supplied to machine 10 and a downstream end 16 at which dunnage product is discharged from machine 10 . As used herein, the terms upstream and downstream refer to the path that the sheet stock travels as it moves from the rack 12 as a strip of dunnage product to the exit of the dunnage conversion machine 10, as shown at 15 ( Figure 8 ). Dunnage products are used as environmentally friendly packaging materials, often as void filler or cushioning during transportation. The stand 12 is...

Abstract

A dunnage conversion machine (10) for converting sheet material into a dunnage product, comprising: a pulling assembly (1300) for advancing the sheet material through the machine; the pulling assembly (1300) including a pair of rotatable transfer members (1320,1330) each having a cylindrical outer surface and a plurality of grippers (1322,1332) extending from the cylindrical surface, the transfer members (1320,1330) being in opposition to one another to define a dunnage transfer region therebetween, and being cooperative when rotating to advance the sheet material through the transfer region.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application whose original application date is April 22, 2003, application number is 03814644.4 (PCT / US03 / 12301), and the title of the invention is "pad conversion machine system". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a dunnage conversion machine and, more particularly, to a dunnage conversion machine and the fan-folded stock material therefor which enable increased loading capacity of the stock material. Background technique [0003] Cushion converting machines convert sheet stock material into relatively dense strips of dunnage product that can be used to provide cushioning in packaging. Typically, the conversion machine is mounted on a stand so that the conversion machine is at a height that provides easy access to the dunnage products produced by the machine, such as at an operator's eye level. Some converter mounts have the ability to tilt the converter relative to the horiz...
