An ecologically sound and environmentally friendly mailbox apparatus comprising a traditional mailbox; a shredding device affixed to the underside of the mailbox; a hollow tube, having a first end and a second end; a hollow receptacle for collecting shredded material, and that is connected to the shredding device by way of the hollow tube, where the first end of the hollow tube is connected to the shredding device and the second end of the hollow tube is directed downward and is connected to the receptacle; and a vertically positioned pole located adjacent to the mailbox and the receptacle, whereby the mailbox and the receptacle are individually connected to the pole by a fastening means that holds the entire apparatus together. This apparatus allows an end user to shred junk mail before leaving his mailbox and prevent clutter in his home.

A printed material management system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a management program, a server, and a shredder. The management program is configured to cause a controller of a device to execute a print data acquisition process, a generation process, a printing process, and a transmission process. In a case where the shredder receives specific information, the shredder is configured to execute a reading process of conveying a printed material input from the inlet and reading the code printed on the printed material by using the scanner. In a case where the shredder does not receive the specific information, the shredder is configured to convey a printed material input from the inlet and shred the printed material using the cutter without executing the reading process.

A printed material management system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a management program, a server, and a shredder. The management program is configured to cause a controller of a device in which the management program is installed to execute a print data acquisition process of acquiring print data, a generation process of determining a printed material ID, and generating a code by encoding the determined printed material ID, a printing process of printing the code and an image on a page corresponding to the printed material ID, and a transmission process of transmitting, to the server, a print log including the printed material ID and first data indicating that disposal is not completed. In a case where the code is successfully read, the shredder executes a rewriting process of transmitting a rewriting request associated with the printed material ID.

Automatic paper shredder having a paper pressing mechanism, which includes upper shredder cover, lower shredder cover, paper support box, paper pressing plate, cover plate, spindle and two spindle holders. Upper cover is connected to lower cover. Paper support box is above the lower cover forming a cavity for to-be-shredded paper. Fixed ends of paper pressing plate and cover plate are around the spindle, so free ends of paper pressing plate and cover plate can rotate coaxially. Two ends of spindle are respectively disposed in two spindle holders, so spindle can rotate. Two spindle holders are connected to upper cover to connect cover plate and paper pressing plate to upper cover. Paper pressing plate is disposed below cover plate and for pressing to-be-shredded paper placed on paper support box when a user closes cover plate.

An automatic shredder comprises an upper shredder cover, a lower shredder cover, a first paper box, a second paper box, a shredder cover plate, a paper pressing plate, a paper pressing roller set, a paper pick-up roller set, a paper inlet, a cutter shaft set, a drive motor, a shell and a waste paper barrel. The automatic shredder adopts a bent paper box to change the length of to-be-shredded paper by means of the flexibility and bendability of paper and the features of paper pick-up rollers on one side, is extremely simple and economical, and changes the flat paper placement structure of existing automatic shredders.

The present invention is a Solid-State Stripper Mechanism provides reconciliation and tracking with unique identification tags using a secure and proprietary database, separation, channeling, and collection of data-bearing components from solid-state PCBs, destruction by reducing data-bearing components to 2 mm particle size or smaller rendering the data unusable, use of a screening system to ensure accurate particle size, an internal particle collection system, an air filtration system to preserve air quality where it is located, and collection of solid-state PCBs with unique identification tags after separation of the data-bearing components for secure containment until verification.

An illustrated view of an exemplary cardboard shredder for compressing and shredding cardboard is presented. The cardboard shredder provides a shredder for cardboard to facilitate recycling while reducing storage space needed before cardboard enters a recycling stream and cutting out the middleman, thus the recycler receives uncontaminated cardboard since it is not mixed in with other materials. The manufacturer receives clean shredded cardboard for reuse, reducing headcount for the plant by reducing and eliminating their shredders being jammed with plastic. The cardboard shredder further saves space in residential and commercial spaces and increases intervals between container emptying, thus making recycling of cardboard easier while saving time and money. The carboard shredder is designed to fit over standing large garbage cans to eliminate double handling of the cardboard prior to recycling. The cardboard shredder further accommodates larger sizes of product to be shredded than a conventional paper shredder encouraging recycling of cardboard.

The present disclosure is generally related to an apparatus having cutter elements for destroying articles such as paper sheets and a mechanism for separating at least a sheet from a stack in a tray. The separation mechanism can be activated by rotation of the cutter elements. In one embodiment, the separation mechanism is provided in the form of a helical mechanism configured for insertion into the stack and to receive separated sheets from the stack in between its space(s) as it is rotated. The separated sheets can fall via gravity into the shredder mechanism. Optionally, a paper feed mechanism can feed separated paper to the cutter elements. The tray can include an edge to assist in directing separated paper towards the cutter elements. One or more staple picking support mechanisms can also be provided to assist in separating sheets from a stapled set of pages.

A crushing apparatus includes a first rotary shaft member, a second rotary shaft member, a plurality of first rotary cutters, a plurality of second rotary cutters, a plurality of first spacers, and a plurality of second spacers, the first rotary cutters and the first spacers being alternately disposed in a first axis direction, the second rotary cutters and the second spacers being alternately disposed in the first axis direction, the first rotary cutters and the second rotary cutters each forming a tearing blade that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the first axis direction, a portion of each of the first rotary cutters and a portion of each of the second rotary cutters overlapping when viewed from the first axis direction, and a gap being provided between the first rotary cutter and the second rotary cutter in the first axis direction.

The present invention relates to a roll film shredding device, and more specifically to a roll film shredding device which rapidly and effectively shreds a long object rolled up into a roll shape, and in particular twists and crumples an object and then performs a shredding operation, thereby effectively shredding an object even though the object is thin, flexible and viscid. The roll film shredding device according to the present invention includes a support frame; an object-to-be-shredded introducing member coupled to the support frame; an object-to-be-shredded twisting unit rotatably installed to the object-to-be-shredded introducing member and performing a twisting operation for an object to be shredded; a rotary driver driving the object-to-be-shredded twisting unit to rotate and perform the twisting operation; and a cutter cutting the object twisted by the object-to-be-shredded twisting unit.
