<p>In the field of packaging it is desirable to convert sheets of paper into a pad-like or other relatively low-density dunnage product. Cushioning conversion machines are used to accomplish such a conversion. The dunnage product is cut into sections of a desired length. Therefore, there is a need for a safety device for protecting the hands of an operator of a cushioning conversion machine during a cutting operation. <??>A safety output chute (300) for a cushioning conversion machine (10) includes an output chute (310) having an input end and an output end. The input end includes an opening for receiving a flexible cushioning product from an outlet of the cushioning conversion machine (10). A plurality of axially spaced hinged elements (322, 324) substantially prevent ingress through the chute (310) from the output end towards the input end. <IMAGE></p> |
