Abstract

A mechanism for producing low density pad-like resilient cushioning dunnage product from sheet-like stock material, such as for instance paper, comprising a support for rotatably mounting a roll of sheet-like stock material in operative condition thereon, and projections on the support adapted for coupling with receptacle structure defining recesses on a separable mobile cart, for detachably coupling the cart to the mechanism, with the cart having mounts thereon for rotatably mounting a roll of sheet-like stock material and in position for feeding the stock material into the dunnage producing mechanism, when the latter and the cart are in coupled condition, to create the pad-like cushioning dunnage product.
