Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document shredding device, and more particularly to a document shredding device that can prevent shredded debris from being scattered.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

A document shredding device that shreds documents, etc. generally has a shredding section for shredding documents, etc. inside a box-shaped casing with an opening/closing door on one wall, and a shredding section that shreds documents, etc. The structure includes a waste box into which the shredded waste is dropped and stored, and the waste box is arranged to be stored independently from the casing.
When the documents, etc. are shredded in the shredding unit and turned into shredded waste, filling the waste box, the opening/closing door is opened, for example, to the left or right, and the waste box containing the shredded waste is taken out to the outside of the casing, and the waste box is filled with shredded waste. Shredded waste is discharged from the inside, and disposal of the shredded waste is performed.

In order to dispose of shredded waste in such a document shredding device, it is necessary to open the shredded waste and take out the waste box to the outside of the casing.
Since a waste box full of shredded waste is quite heavy, it is not easy for female workers to remove it, and a large space must also be secured for opening and closing the door. Furthermore, if the waste box is even slightly tilted during the removal operation, the shredded waste from the waste box will scatter into and around the casing.

In addition, generally a waste bag is placed inside the waste box and the shredded waste is disposed of together with the waste bag, but this waste box does not have a device to hold down the waste bag, so the waste is removed during shredding. The bag may shift and scatter between the shredded waste and the waste box, making the waste box dirty.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been made with these points in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document shredding device that facilitates the disposal of shredded waste and can prevent the shredded waste from being scattered. .

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the work of disposing of shredded waste can be done by swinging the opening/closing door toward you to open it without pulling out the scrap box, and shredding the scraps from inside the scrap box attached to the opening/closing door. Since this is carried out by carrying out the entire waste box in which the waste is stored, the disposal work is easy and requires less work space. Also, during disposal, shredded waste will not spill out of the waste bin and scatter the inside of the casing and its surroundings. Further, since the opening/closing door can be easily removed from the casing, the inside of the casing can be easily cleaned.

Because there is a bag holding device to secure the waste bag to the waste box, there is a risk that the waste bag may slip and fall into the waste box, or shredded waste may get between the waste bag and the waste box and clutter the waste box. There is no. Furthermore, the end face of the waste bag is pressed against the outer wall surface of the waste box by the bag holding device and does not protrude to the outside unnecessarily, so that the size of the waste box can be made close to the size inside the casing.
