Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A dunnage-producing system includes a dunnage conversion machine for converting a stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product, a supply of stock material, and a guide element. The conversion machine is rotatable about a substantially vertical axis. The supply of stock material includes a support for the stock material that is movable relative to the conversion machine, such as for replenishing the stock material. The guide element is rotatable with the conversion machine to maintain a consistent position relative to the conversion machine, thereby consistently positioning the support relative to the conversion machine to avoid tearing or jamming problems associated with an improperly aligned supply of sheet stock material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A dunnage-producing system, comprising: a dunnage conversion machine for converting a stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product, the conversion machine being rotatable about a substantially vertical axis; a supply of stock material, including a support for the stock material that is movable relative to the conversion machine, the support having a plurality of upright walls that bound a generally rectangular space for receiving a substantially recta…
