A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11951706B2) discloses a device designed for dispensing cushion means for packaging purposes. The device includes dispensing means, a withdrawal region for users to access the dispensed cushion means, and sensor means to detect user engagement with the cushion means or the presence of a user's hand in the withdrawal region. The dispensing mechanism operates based on these detections, conveying the cushion means towards the withdrawal region. Additionally, the device features a detachable connection between different regions of the cushion means, allowing for user interaction with the dispensing process.

Furthermore, the patented device incorporates various sensor technologies such as light barriers, image recognition, infrared detectors, and ultrasound detectors to enhance the detection capabilities. The sensor means can also include torque sensors, force transducers, and current sensors at the motor drive of the dispensing means. The withdrawal region can be directly integrated into the dispensing means or located separately with a transport mechanism to convey dispensed cushion means. The device's operation is time-dependent, with transport initiation and dispensing actions triggered after predetermined time intervals following user engagement or hand presence detection in the withdrawal region. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated system for dispensing cushion means efficiently and user-friendly for packaging applications.
