  • Publication number: 20090008871
    Abstract: A shredder paper feed mechanism and paper feeder that, simply by setting a paper stack in the paper tray, enable a stack of document sheets to be fed to the shredder in an amount that matches the shredding capability of the shredder. This is done by using first and second rotating members equipped with claw members. The paper feed mechanism utilizes the transmitted rotary driving force of the shredder unit. The paper feed mechanism has a first rotating member having disc-shaped claw members with sharp portions for feeding the paper sheets, and rotation members; a transport roller; a second rotating member that limits the number of paper sheets that are fed onwards, and also has disc-shaped claw members with sharp portions for feeding the paper sheets, and rotation members; and a pressure roller that presses against the second rotating member to thereby grip and feed the paper sheets.
