<p>A dunnage conversion machine (10) has an output chute (60) with a guard (70) that inhibits access to internal areas of the machine (10) through the output chute (60). Upstream of the output chute (60) the conversion machine (10) has a conversion assembly (16) that converts a stock material (14) into a strip of dunnage (20) as the stock material passes therethrough in a downstream direction. The output chute (60), through which the strip of dunnage (20) is discharged downstream of the conversion assembly (16), includes the pivotably-mounted guard (70) extending into the chute (60). The guard (70) has at its free end (72) both a forward glide surface (74) operative to glide along an outer surface of the strip of dunnage (20) as the strip moves in the downstream direction and a rearward glide surface (76) operative to glide along an outer surface of the strip of dunnage (20) as the strip moves in an upstream direction opposite the downstream direction.</p> |
