Abstract: An apparatus for shredding paper and the like and compacting the paper into a disposable cylindrical roll. The apparatus includes a pair of cooperating roller cutters mounted in a housing to cut the paper into elongate strips. The paper is compacted into cylindrical rolls by rotatably driven cylinder end wheels and a plurality of compacting rollers disposed about the circumference of the drum. The compacting rollers are rotatably driven in a direction opposite that of the end wheel. The compacted cylindrical roll is formed in a compacting zone defined by the rollers and end wheels. The apparatus can also compact paper without shredding. To allow for this function the housing has a paper feed opening that bypasses the roller cutters introducing the paper directly to the compacting zone.

Abstract: A locking handle for doors, particularly doors of vehicles and industrial equipment, is disclosed. The locking handle is secured to a shaft which activates a door latch upon rotation of the handle. A lock member is held within the locking handle and has a projection which selectively engages an annular projection of an escutcheon secured to the door. In the preferred embodiment the locking handle has an aperture and the lock member is a cylinder having one portion with a diameter greater than the diameter of the aperture and a second portion with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the aperture, the second portion projecting through the aperture. The lock member thus cannot be removed from the handle exterior.
