摘要： There is provided a system that automatically delivers, monitors and replenishes a string of packaging cushions to hoppers located at multiple packing stations through an elongated cushion delivery duct having a series of intermediate outlets to permit the string of cushions to drop into the hopper located below the delivery duct and above the packing station. A blower is positioned near the inlet of the elongated duct to provide air flow in the duct to carry the string of cushions through the duct to one of the outlets. When the hopper is full of cushions sensors signal the controller to close the diverter and the string of cushions is delivered to another packaging station. The system may include a knife assembly to cut the string of cushions holding pins and the tension-relief diverter it is located at the inlet of the duct to hold tension on the string of cushions while the string is being separated. The tension release gate also has the purpose of relieving tension on the machine producing cushions during the machines feed/fill cycle.

摘要： A system for conveying a string of packaging cushions includes a machine capable of manufacturing the string and a conveyor adapted to transport the string. The conveyor has an inlet end to receive the string and an outlet end to deliver the string of packaging cushions. The inlet end of the conveyor is higher than the cushion outlet elevation of the machine. At least one pair of rolls are adapted to lift the string of packaging cushions from the machine through the nip of the rolls to the conveyor inlet elevation.

摘要： The invention is an under-filled cushion detector that is capable of conveying a string of packaging cushions and detecting whether the string of packaging cushions may be under-filled. The detector includes an upper driven belt that is movably suspended above a lower belt. The belts cooperate together to define a longitudinal cushion pathway between the belts. The distance between the upper and lower belts may vary depending upon the thickness of the string of packaging cushions. If a string of under-filled cushions travels between the upper and lower belts, the upper belt can move downwardly in the direction of the lower belt. A switch stops the upper and lower belts if the height of the cushion pathway decreases below a predetermined threshold. The detector can be used in a system for manufacturing and transporting packaging cushions to a desired location.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种欠填充的缓冲检测器，其能够输送一串包装垫，并检测包装衬垫串是否可能未充满。 检测器包括可移动地悬挂在下部带上方的上部从动带。 皮带配合在一起以限定皮带之间的纵向缓冲通路。 上和下皮带之间的距离可以根据包装衬垫串的厚度而变化。 如果一串未充足的垫子在上下皮带之间行进，则上皮带可沿下皮带的方向向下移动。 如果缓冲通道的高度降低到预定阈值以下，开关就会停止上下皮带。 检测器可用于制造和运输包装垫到期望位置的系统中。
