DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE AND METHOD AND DUNNAGE PRODUCT

A conversion assembly (34) for a dunnage conversion machine includes a downstream pair of rotatable members and an upstream pair of rotatable members upstream of the downstream rotatable members. Thedownstream rotatable members include a pair of gears (142, 144), and each gear has a plurality of teeth and is rotatable about a respective axis. The gears are positioned so that the teeth of one gearare sequentially interlaced with the teeth of the other gear as the gears rotate. The upstream rotatable members include a pair of feed wheels (146, 148), and the gears and the feed wheels define a path for a sheet stock material from between the upstream pair of feed wheels to between the downstream pair of gears. The rate at which the sheet stock material is advanced by the feed wheels is the same as the rate at which the sheet stock material is advanced by the gears. 一种用于垫料转换机的转换组件(34)，该转换组件包括一对下游可旋转部件以及位于下游可旋转部件上游的一对上游可旋转部件。下游可旋转部件包括一对齿轮(142、144)，并且每个齿轮具有多个齿且每个齿轮可围绕相应的轴线旋转。齿轮定位为使得当齿轮旋转时一个齿轮的齿与另一齿轮的齿顺序交错。上游可旋转部件包括一
