ABSTRACT:
A novel loading assembly for a cushioning conversion machine that eliminates the need to manually thread the stock material through the former of the machine. The loading assembly is disposed at one end of the machine and feeds the stock material through the former to the machine's feed assembly. Hence, a cushioning conversion machine and method for converting a stock material into a cushioning product comprises a former assembly which forms the stock material into a strip of cushioning; a downstream feed assembly located at a downstream end of the former assembly which feeds the strip of cushioning passing therethrough; a loader feed assembly located at an upstream end of the former assembly, the loader feed assembly which, when engaged, feeds the stock material through the former assembly to the feed assembly; and a loader operator assembly for selectively engaging and disengaging the loading assembly. The loader operator assembly includes a lever movable between a non-load and load position, and a position detect device which, when the lever is in its load position, effects energization of the upstream feed assembly. The loader feed assembly includes opposed rollers relatively movable towards and away from one another, and the loader operator moves the opposed rollers towards and away from one another between engaged and disengaged positions. A crank is provided for rotating at least one of the opposed rollers, the crank being connected to a shaft on which said one roller is mounted for rotation with the shaft.
