Abstract
Abstract A METHOD FOR FORMING CORNER CUSHIONS FOR SHIPPING AND/OR STORING. THREE CUTTING MEMBERS HAVING V-SHAPED CUTTING EDGES ARE POSITIONED ABOUT A LENGTH OF MATERIAL SUCH THAT THE MEMBERS ARE RADIALLY DISPLACED 120* FROM ONE ANOTHER AND IN PLANES WHICH ARE AT AN ANGLE OF 90* WITH RESPECT TO ONE ANOTHER. THE CUTTING MEMBERS ARE MOVED IN STRAIGHT PATHS INTO THE LENGTH OF MATERIAL AT ANGLES TO THE MATERIAL LONGITUDINAL AXIS SUCH THAT THREE FACES ARE FORMED IN THE MATERIAL WHICH ARE AT RIGHT ANGLES RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER AND WHICH MEET AT A POINT. THE CUTTING MEMBERS ARE THEN DISPLACED ALONG THE AXIS OF THE MATERIAL AND THE CUTTING SEQUENCE REPEATED SO AS TO FORM INDIVIDUAL CUSHIONS HAVING THREE-FACED POINTED TIPS ON ONE END THEREOF AND THREE-FACED INTERIOR CAVITIES ON THE OTHER END THEREOF. SETS OF CUTTING MEMBERS CAN BE USED TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CUT AT POINTS ALONG THE AXIS OF THE MATERIAL. A SPRUE CAN BE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS TO CONNECT THE CUSHIONS TOGETHER TO FORM A LONG LENGTH OF CONNECTED CUSHIONS WHICH CAN BE REMOVED INDIVIDUALLY AS NEEDED.
