| 20090173040 | PACKAGING SYSTEM WITH VOLUME MEASUREMENT - A system, and associated components and methodology, that automatically acquires data representative of the space left in each of a series of containers ( | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090301038 | PACKAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH FREIGHT RATE ANALYSIS - A packaging method includes the step of comparing a total package weight to a freight rate schedule and thereby determining a normal freight rate. The total package weight includes the weight of a container ( | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090325773 | MOTOR-FREE DUNNAGE CONVERTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A motor-free dunnage conversion system comprises a housing ( | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100273624 | COMPACT DUNNAGE CONVERTER - A compact dunnage conversion machine includes a converging chute with a restricted inlet, a powered feed assembly with a sealed gearbox, a plurality of interchangeable power supplies, and a restricted outlet chute. The converter can convert a sheet stock material into dunnage for use in packaging one or more objects in a container. The restricted inlet and outlet make it more difficult for foreign objects to enter the converter and disrupt the conversion process. The sealed gearbox interposed between the driving elements of the feed assembly and an electric motor facilitates maintenance and repair of the feed assembly, while also protecting the gears therein. Finally, the power supplies provide electrical power to the motor and can include an electrical storage device, such as a battery, or an alternating-current-to-direct-current converter which is connectable to a source of electricity for supplying that electricity to the motor in an acceptable form. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100326021 | MANUALLY-ASSISTED VOID-FILL DUNNAGE DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A packaging system | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110111940 | DUNNAGE CONVERSION WITH YIELD-ENHANCED PAPER - A method of converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product includes the step of supplying the sheet stock material to a conversion mechanism for converting the sheet stock material into the dunnage product by permanently deforming the sheet stock material into a nonplanar configuration to provide the dunnage product with a density less than the density of the stock material from which it is formed. The sheet stock material comprises one or more plies of paper having a caliper no less than about 3.5 points (about 0.089 millimeter) or a bulk caliper no less than about 3.4 points (about 0.086 millimeter) for a basis weight no greater than about 32 pounds (about 86 grams per square meter) and when a moisture content is no greater than about 10%. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110197550 | MANUALLY-ASSISTED VOID-FILL DUNNAGE DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A packaging system ( | 08-18-2011 |
