<p>A dunnage conversion system comprises a housing having a dispensing outlet through which sheet stock material can be pulled by a user to form a strip of dunnage. The housing has a forming member with circumferentially converging side walls that gradually inwardly gather and crumple the sheet stock material as it is pulled therethrough. The system also includes a catch device operative upon movement of the dunnage strip relative thereto to catch and hold the strip for severing a dunnage product therefrom. To facilitate supplying sheet stock material in the housing, the housing has a top that is pivotably rotatable relative to a base. The pivot connection both provides for the opening action and to hold the top and the base against forces generated in withdrawing sheet stock material through an opening in the top.</p> |
