20100029456 | MANUAL DUNNAGE CONVERTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A motor-free dunnage conversion system for converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage includes a container having a wall with an opening therethrough, a supply of sheet stock material within the container, and a forming member. The forming member has converging sidewalls that define a passage alignable with the opening in the wall. The forming member is a converging chute having a relatively larger inlet spaced from the outlet, which is relatively smaller than the inlet. The forming member functions to crumple the sheet stock material as a packer draws the sheet stock material through the forming member to form a crumpled strip of dunnage. The forming member has a dimension that is larger than a corresponding dimension of the opening to keep the forming member from escaping the container as the packer pulls the stock material through the forming member. | 02-04-2010 |

20120283084 | COMPACT DUNNAGE STORAGE AND CONVERSION SYSTEM - A self-contained dunnage system includes a box sized to receive a supply of sheet stock material with minimal or no empty space when the box is closed. The box has one or more flaps that are movable between a generally planar closed position where the flaps cooperate to close the box and an inclined operating position displaced from the closed position. In the operating position, the ends of the flaps define a dispensing outlet spaced from an open side of the box defined by the side wall or walls of the box. The dispensing outlet is smaller than the open side of the box such that as the sheet material is pulled from the box and through the outlet, the inclined flaps act as a forming member that inwardly gathers the sheet material, causing it to crumple as it is withdrawn from the box. | 11-08-2012 |
20120289392 | VOID-FILL DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE, STOCK MATERIAL SUPPORT, AND METHOD - A machine for converting a sheet stock material into a dunnage product includes a conversion assembly for converting sheet stock material into a dunnage product as the sheet stock material travels along a path from an upstream end of the conversion assembly to a downstream end of the conversion assembly. The machine further includes a transversely extending guide over which the stock material passes for guided entry into the upstream end of the conversion assembly. The guide is rotatable such that the transverse extent of the guide can be moved between a plurality of relatively rotated orientations to guide the sheet stock material from different sides of the conversion assembly. | 11-15-2012 |

20140155241 | REDUCED FOOTPRINT DUNNAGE CONVERSION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of converting a supply of sheet stock into a relatively less dense dunnage product, including the following steps of (i) providing a stack of fan-folded sheet material having fold lines parallel to a width dimension; and (ii) drawing sheet stock material from the stack in a direction parallel to the width dimension. | 06-05-2014 |
20150014205 | CARRIER FOR A BUNDLE OF FAN FOLDED SHEET MATERIAL TO BE CONVERTED INTO DUNNAGE - A method of loading a stack of sheet stock material for use by a dunnage conversion machine, includes the following steps: (i) providing first and second stacks, the second stack being protected by a carrier having a central portion and longitudinally-spaced extensions that bound a central portion, the extensions and the central portion being joined along a weakened area defining a tear line, the central portion and the longitudinally-spaced extensions forming a planar bottom panel and a planar side panel, each panel extending substantially the length of the stack, and at a right angle to each other about a fold line over a bottom and an adjacent side of the stack, and one or more bale ties longitudinally inwardly of the tear lines holding the carrier to the stack; (ii) removing the extensions from the carrier; (iii) setting the second stack on top of the first stack; and (iv) removing the bale ties and the carrier, whereby an adhesive bonds the top page of the first stack to the bottom page of the second stack. | 01-15-2015 |
