Patent ID: 8425393

Claim:
A motor-free dunnage conversion system for converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product, comprising a container sized to contain a supply of sheet stock material therein, and a forming member held to the container, the forming member having converging sidewalls that define a passage which terminates in a reduced-width outlet, the forming member functioning to crumple sheet stock material as it is drawn therethrough to form a crumpled strip of dunnage; wherein the outlet is movable between a shipping position and a converting position removed from the shipping position, the container has a securing mechanism that can be used to limit the extent to which the outlet can move from the converting position as sheet stock material is pulled through the outlet, the securing mechanism including a tab in one portion of the container and a cooperating opening in another portion of the container, the tab is dimensioned relative to the opening such that after passing through the opening the tab catches and restricts movement of the outlet from the converting position.
