161 MOTOR-FREE DUNNAGE SYSTEM EP05823301.6 2005-10-25 EP1827810B1 2009-09-30 CHEICH, Robert, C.; CALS, Hubertus, Y., M.; RIGA, Erwin; GORG, Donald; CARLSON, Daniel, L.; BAIERS, Shawn; MARTIS, Edward, S., Jr.; STEVENSON, Carrie
A motor-free dunnage conversion system comprises a housing (20) having a dispensing outlet (40) through which sheet stock material (34) can be pulled by a user to form a strip of dunnage. The housing (20) has a forming member (44, 50) with circumferentially converging side walls that gradually inwardly gather and crumple the sheet stock material as it is pulled therethrough. The system can also include one or more of a stand having a support mounted thereto for supporting a supply of stock material, a repositionable member (22) supporting the forming member (44, 50), a guide member at the upstream end of the housing to guide the stock material from a supply to the forming member, and a catch device operative upon movement of the dunnage strip relative thereto to catch and hold the strip for severing a dunnage product therefrom.

A motor-free dunnage conversion system (100) for converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage includes a container (120) having a wall (122) with an opening (140) therethrough, a supply (132) of sheet stock material within the container, and a forming member (150) . 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 (151) spaced from the outlet (152) , 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.

A packaging system (10) and method for supplying and distributing dunnage products to multiple packing stations (14, 16) is characterized by a supply of dunnage products (12), a plurality of packing stations (14, 16), and a distribution assembly (20) that selectively distributes the dunnage products from the supply (12) to selected ones of the packing stations (14, 16). The supply of dunnage (12) may include a converter (22) that converts sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product. The distribution assembly (20) includes a conveyor (40), an alignment device (50) downstream of the conveyor (40), and a tiltable dunnage product support surface (60) below the alignment device (50). The alignment device (50) controls the descent of a dunnage product therethrough to the support surface (60). The support surface (60) is tiltable to selectively direct the dunnage product toward respective packing stations (14, 16).

166 DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE AND METHOD WITH JAM-DETECTION SYSTEM EP14732053.5 2014-05-16 EP2996871B1 2018-11-21 PARK, Kevin W.; FISCHER, Roger G.
A jam-sensing method for a dunnage conversion machine includes the following steps: (a) converting a stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage material having characteristics that vary along the length of the dunnage material; (b) sensing the characteristics of the dunnage material; (c) generating a signal that varies as a function of the sensed characteristics; (d) monitoring the generated signal over time; and (e) generating a control signal when variation in the generated signal within a predetermined period is less than a predetermined amount, which would indicate a lack of movement of the material. This control signal can used to shut down the conversion process, thereby minimizing the extent of the jam condition.

A dunnage machine is equipped with a manually operated cutter. The cutter can comprise elongated frame members (222) that are pivotable about one end thereof. A handle surface (230) can extend between the elongated frame members (222) near a distal end portion of the elongated frame members. The handle can be depressed to actuate a cutting operation, descending a blade (202) against dunnage material dispensed from an exit chute. When the handle is no longer depressed, a biasing member (226) can act on the elongated frame members (222) to return the handle surface (230) to a resting position. The resting position of the handle can be proximate, or near, an exit region of the dunnage machine.

170 COMPACT DUNNAGE CONVERTER EP15179755.2 2007-06-11 EP2990193A2 2016-03-02 Carlson,, Daniel L; Gorg,, Donald A; Bilkie,, Thomas A

A compact dunnage conversion machine includes a converging chute with a restricted inlet, a powered feed assembly with a sealed gearbox, a plurality of interchangeable power supplies, and a restricted outlet chute. The converter can convert a sheet stock material into dunnage for use in packaging one or more objects in a container. The restricted inlet and outlet make it more difficult for foreign objects to enter the converter and disrupt the conversion process. The sealed gearbox interposed between the driving elements of the feed assembly and an electric motor facilitates maintenance and repair of the feed assembly, while also protecting the gears therein.; Finally, the power supplies provide electrical power to the motor and can include an electrical storage device, such as a battery, or an alternating-current-to-direct-current converter which is connectable to a source of electricity for supplying that electricity to the motor in an acceptable form

A machine for converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product includes both (a) a helical pre-form assembly having a cylindrical mandrel with a longitudinal axis and a guide member for guiding the sheet stock material from a supply thereof into a helical path along and around the mandrel so as to form a helical pre-form that rotates around the longitudinal axis and advances parallel to the longitudinal axis; and (b) a restriction in the path of the pre-form that slows the advance and rotation of the pre-form past the restriction, the restriction causing the pre-form to retard longitudinal advancement, to twist upon itself, and to permanently deform as it moves past the restriction, thereby longitudinally and helically crumpling the pre-form.

176 TEAR-ASSIST APPARATUS EP12833414.1 2012-09-20 EP2758218A1 2014-07-30 RAINS, Christopher M.; TEGEL, Robert; WETSCH, Thomas D.
A system for processing a line of material along a path and a tear-assist apparatus. The tear-assist comprising a driving portion that drives the line of material along the path, a sensing unit that detects pulling of the line of material in a first direction along the path away from the driving portion, and a cutting member for cutting the line of material. The sensing unit can be associated with the driving portion such that upon detecting movement of the line in the first direction, the sensing unit causes the driving portion to drive the line of material in a second direction along the path for drawing the line of material against the cutting member to cut the line of material. In another configuration, when the sensing unit detects the movement in the first direction, the sensing unit can cause the driving portion to drive the line of material in the second direction sufficiently for severing the portion of the line of material. The driving portion can also be configured to drive the line of material in the first direction along the path to dispense the material.
177 DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE AND METHOD WITH DOWNSTREAM FEED MONITOR EP12728922.1 2012-06-13 EP2720859A1 2014-04-23 SIP, Jiri G.
A dunnage conversion machine provides an improved electronic monitoring and control system for detecting and resolving many jamming conditions before they require significant operator intervention. The machine includes a conversion assembly with a feeding device that feeds the sheet stock material through the machine, and a sensing device downstream of the feeding device to monitor movement of the stock material downstream of the feeding device and to output a corresponding signal. A controller controls operation of the feeding device in response to the signal from the sensing device. The controller uses the signal to detect a potential jam condition and controls the feeding device to prevent or minimize the occurrence or severity of the jam condition, thereby minimizing the amount and degree of required operator intervention.
