Apparatus And Process For Dispensing Dunnage
US Patent:
6527147, Mar 4, 2003
Filed:
Dec 12, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/735111
Inventors:
Rick Steven Wehrmann - Hudson OH
Assignee:
Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. - Streetsboro OH
International Classification:
G01F 1100
US Classification:
222281, 2221851, 222410, 53554
Abstract:
A system for providing dunnage to packages as the packages are formed is disclosed. The system includes a dunnage forming machine having a work station for inflating and sealing plastic pouches to form dunnage units. An accumulator is positioned below the station for receiving and collecting such units as they are formed. The accumulator includes an outlet opening laterally offset from the station. A pair of counter rotating brushes having axes journaled in spaced relationship are mounted at the outlet. Each of the brushes includes circumferentially spaced bristle sets defining unit receiving spaces between adjacent sets. A motor drive is operably connected to the brushes for causing counter rotation. A unit volume sensor is provided for emitting a machine start signal when the volume of units in the accumulator reaches a predetermined low volume. A process for providing dunnage in packages being formed is also disclosed.

Dunnage Material And Process
US Patent:
6948296, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
May 18, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/979256
Inventors:
Bernard Lerner - Aurora OH, US
Rick S. Wehrmann - Hudson OH, US
Rick S. Wehrmann - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. - Streetsboro OH
International Classification:
B67B005/00
US Classification:
53476, 53469, 53567, 493967, 493239
Abstract:
A process of forming dunnage is disclosed. A chain of interconnected plastic pouches () are fed along a path of travel to a fill and seal station (). The pouches () are sequentially opened as each pouch is positioned in the fill station. Each pouch is opened by directing a flow of air through a pouch fill opening () to separate a face () from a back () of each such pouch and continuing the flow of air through each such opening to inflate each opened pouch. Each such inflated pouch is then sealed to create hermetically closed and inflated dunnage units (). Novel web and dunnage units are also disclosed.

Apparatus And Method For Making Fluid Filled Units
US Patent:
7513090, Apr 7, 2009
Filed:
Jul 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/484050
Inventors:
Rick Wehrmann - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. - Streetsboro OH
International Classification:
B65B 31/02
US Classification:
53403, 53550, 53562, 53568
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a machine and a method for converting a web of preformed pouches to dunnage units. In one exemplary embodiment the machine includes a drive, a blower, and a sealing mechanism. The drive is arranged to move the web of preformed pouches along a path of travel through the machine. The blower is positioned with respect to the path of travel, to inflate the preformed pouches. The sealing mechanism includes a heating element support and a heating element. The heating element support includes a sealing side and a belt preheating side. The heating element is disposed around at least a portion of the heating side and at least a portion of the belt preheating side. The drive includes a belt that is disposed around the heating element. The sealing mechanism is positioned with respect to the path of travel, to provide seals to the pouches to form inflated dunnage units. The heating element support is configured to maintain the heating element in contact with the heating element support preheating side.

International Classification:
B65D 81/03
US Classification:
53 79, 53403, 156147, 156498
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a machine for converting a web of preformed pouches to dunnage units. The pouches are defined by transverse seals that extend from a remote edge to within a predetermined distance of an inflation edge. In a first embodiment, the machine includes a guide pin, a drive, a blower, and a sealing element. The guide pin is insertable between the transverse seals and the inflation edge. The guide pin defines a path of travel of the web. The drive moves the web along the path of travel. The blower is positioned with respect to the path of travel for inflating the preformed pouches. The sealing element is positioned to provide a longitudinal seal that intersects the transverse seals to close the preformed pouches and form inflated dunnage units. The disclosed examples of machines for converting a web of preformed pouches to dunnage units including various improvements to existing machines.
