Abstract
A motor-free dunnage conversion system comprises a housing () having a dispensing outlet () through which sheet stock material () can be pulled by a user to form a strip of dunnage. The housing () has a forming member () with circumferentially converging side walls that gradually inwardly gather and crumple the sheet stock material as it is pulled therethrough. The system can also include one or more of a stand having a support mounted thereto for supporting a supply of stock material, a repositionable member () supporting the forming member (), a guide member at the upstream end of the housing to guide the stock material from a supply to the forming member, and a catch device operative upon movement of the dunnage strip relative thereto to catch and hold the strip for severing a dunnage product therefrom.
