Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing paper cushioning members in which work paper is inserted between a pair of intermittent-cutting roller members to process multiple rows of thin bands with link portion. Waste-collecting members are provided at a discharge side of the rollers to separate the work paper from the roller members and to feed the processed work paper into a wave-forming guide. The wave-forming guide includes an upper pressing member that rotates about a hinge positioned at an end nearest to the discharge side of the rollers and a counterweight positioned at a distal end of said upper pressing member such that the upper pressing member is biased toward the interior of the wave-forming guide. The wave-forming guide is designed to forcibly compress the processed work paper into finely crumpled thin bands and to discharge the crumpled thin bands in a wavy form.

Abstract: Scissors comprising a pair of scissor pieces, each comprising a blade portion and a holding portion extended from the blade portion and having a finger-hanging hole and said blade portion and holding portion being integrally formed by press molding, a pin connecting said scissor pieces substantially at central portions thereof so that the scissoring operation is possible, a pair of annular projecting members fitted in the finger-hanging hole from both the sides of the holding portion of each scissor piece so that the projecting members cover the inner peripheral edge of the finger-hanging hole and they co-operatively form a continuous inner peripheral wall portion, and an engaging member for holding said protecting members in the state fitted in each finger-hanging hole.
