Abstract

A dunnage conversion machine for converting stock material into a dunnage product includes a forming assembly and a pulling assembly. The pulling assembly includes at least two grippers (62) movable together through a transfer region in opposition to one another and cooperative to grip therebetween the dunnage strip for advancing the dunnage strip through the transfer region, and at least one of the grippers including an aperture operative to gather and laterally capture therein the dunnage strip as the grippers move through the transfer region. Also disclosed is a severing assembly including a movable blade and a reciprocating actuator connected to the blade by a motion transmitting assembly that moves the blade through a full severing cycle upon a stroke of the actuator in either direction. Also disclosed is a void fill dunnage product including a three dimensional crumpled strip of dunnage round in cross-section and including at least one ply of sheet material having, in cross section, a crumpled multi-lobed undulating body, with the lobes thereof extending longitudinally and being dispersed in an irregular pattern.

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 26 June 2002 (26.06.02); new claims 65 and 66 added; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
65. A dunnage conversion machine for converting sheet material into a dunnage product, comprising: a forming assembly for shaping the sheet material into a continuous strip of dunnage including a three-dimensional shape; and a pulling assembly positioned downstream from the forming assembly for advancing the sheet material through the forming assembly; the pulling assembly including at least one gripper movable through a transfer region and cooperative to engage the dunnage strip for advancing the dunnage strip through the transfer region, the at least one gripper including an aperture operative to gather and laterally capture therein the dunnage strip as the gripper moves through the transfer region.
66. A method of converting sheet material into a dunnage product, comprising the steps of: using a forming assembly for shaping the sheet material into a continuous strip of dunnage including a three-dimensional shape; and using a pulling assembly positioned downstream from the forming assembly for advancing the sheet material through the forming assembly; wherein the step of advancing the sheet material includes moving at least one gripper through a transfer region to engage the dunnage strip and advance the dunnage strip through the transfer region, while an aperture in the gripper gathers and laterally captures therein the dunnage strip as the gripper is moved through the transfer region.
