  • Patent number: 10926504
    Abstract: A stock supply assembly for a dunnage conversion machine includes a stock material support having a support structure, such as a shelf for a stack of fan-folded sheet stock material. The stock supply assembly is rotatable between a relatively lower loading position and a relatively higher operating position vertically displaced relative to the loading position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2021
    Assignee: Ranpak Corp.

  • Patent number: 10077494
    Abstract: A process for forming a diffusion coating on a substrate is disclosed, including preparing a slurry including a donor metal powder, an activator powder, and a binder, and applying the slurry to the substrate. The slurry is dried on the substrate, forming a slurry layer on the substrate. A covering composition is applied over the slurry layer, and the covering composition is dried, forming at least one covering layer enclosing the slurry layer against the substrate. The slurry layer and the at least one covering layer are heated to form the diffusion coating on the substrate, the diffusion coating including an additive layer and an interdiffusion zone disposed between the substrate and the additive layer.

  • Patent number: 8602608
    Abstract: A light module includes a light engine that has an LED package having power terminals. A base ring assembly holds the light engine. The base ring assembly has a base ring configured to be mounted to a supporting structure. The base ring has a securing feature. The base ring assembly has a contact holder that holds power contacts. The power contacts are spring biased against the power terminals to create a separable power connection with the power terminals. A top cover assembly is coupled to the base ring. The top cover assembly has a collar surrounding the base ring. The top cover assembly has a securing feature that engages the securing feature of the base ring to couple the collar to the base ring. The collar has a cavity and the optical component is received in the cavity. The optical component is positioned to receive light from the LED package and the optical component is configured to emit the light generated by the LED package.
