Paper shredders are a usual thing in office nowadays. It does all the dirty work, shredding the unnecessary or classified papers to small pieces, better than any human can do. However, they are usually big and bulky devices, though very necessary in departments in which information is very sensitive. It is a pity that if you'd like to destroy the documents which must not be seen, but you are far from this machine, you will be left with no choice but to burn it or shred it to pieces manually. Fortunately, no more burning required, because the portable shredder can do all the documents destroying work for you! Maybe it remainds you the USB powered one, but don't let important documents get into the wrong hands with that mechanical assistant.
This Portable Hand Powered Paper Shredder I’ll introduce bellow shreds paper documents into confetti! A "must-have" at home or office. No power required. Proving that sometimes the best gadgets do not need batteries(sometimes).
This hand-held device for shredding paper comprising a pair of rotary cutting wheels disposed within a housing between an inlet slot and an outlet slot. A motor is positioned in the handle to drive the cutting wheels through a gear assembly. One wheel serves as a drive wheel, which is coupled directly to the gear assembly, and the other wheel serves as an idler, driven from a spur gear attached to the drive wheel at the end opposite a gear case. Paper sheets are fed into the inlet slot and pulled between the wheels. Wheels are comprised of a stack of alternating discs of a large and small radius, and staggered so as to allow the two wheels to be interleaved while rotating in opposite (clockwise and counterclockwise) directions and maintain clearance. Large discs have a frictional edge to grab and feed the paper into the intersection of the wheels, tearing the paper into strips and forcing the strips into the outlet slot. A battery compartment in the handle contains the batteries for energizing the motor.
