DUNNAGE CUT-ASSIST BIASING MEMBER

摘要

A conversion apparatus is provided herein. The conversion apparatus includes a cutting member having an edge configured for cutting the dunnage material. The conversion apparatus also includes a biasing member that is located adjacent to the cutting member such that the dunnage material passes between the biasing member and the cutting member. The biasing member operably contacts the dunnage material thereby biasing the dunnage material against the cutting member. The position of the biasing member relative to the cutting member is such that in response to the dunnage material being retracted back into the conversion apparatus the cutting member begins to sever the dunnage material, but in response to the dunnage material traveling in the dispensing direction the cutting member does not begin to sever the dunnage material due to the relative position.

主权项

1. A conversion apparatus for processing a dunnage material along a path, comprising:
a cutting member having an edge configured for cutting or tearing the dunnage material; and a biasing member located adjacent to the cutting member and having a cutting position in which the dunnage material passes between the biasing member and the cutting member with the biasing member bending the dunnage material along a path around the end of the cutting member so that in response to the dunnage material being retracted back into the conversion apparatus the cutting member begins to sever the dunnage material.
