Abstract: A document shredder for destroying a generally rectangular document and having feed rollers for engaging a marginal portion of a document and simultaneously spirally coiling the document into a generally cylindrical form while advancing the document in an axial direction. A rotary shredding mechanism cuts the leading end portion of the document as it is advanced by the feed rollers. The shredding mechanism may be arranged to cut the advancing document along a line of shear spaced inward of the leading edge of the leading end portion to trim successive strips from the leading end of the document. The shredding mechanism may also include chipping mechanism for reducing each strip to smaller bits as the strip is formed.

Abstract: A rotary electrical switch is provide for a portable power operated surface treating device having a fixed handle assembly, a hollow generally cylindrical roller supported for rotation on and relative to the handle assembly, and an absorbent generally cylindrical applicator sleeve coaxially supported on said roller for rotation therewith. The roller is driven by an electrical motor contained within it and powered by a rechargeable battery also supported within the roller. Operation of the motor is controlled by the rotary electrical switch which includes a pair of magnetically responsive electrical switch contacts contained within the roller and a magnetic switch actuator mounted on the handle assembly.

Abstract: A message organizer formed by a plurality of substantially identical message trays arranged in vertically stacked relation and connected in snap-engagement to each other and to a support base. Diagonally opposite corners of each message tray are truncated to expose the corners of rectangular message sheets received within the trays. The trays are closed at opposite sides and open at the front and rear ends. Inclined inner and outer surfaces on the low opposite end walls of each message tray provide angled lable areas and aid in the placement of messages in and removal of messages from the trays.

Abstract: A portable disposable spray hood for receiving an article to be spray coated and capturing overspray from an aerosol container type spray device used to spray coat the article is formed from a plurality of connected panels foldable relative to each other between a set-up position wherein the panels cooperate to define the hood and a collapsed position wherein the panels cooperate to form a shallow box containing a supply of disposable paper liners used to line the base portion of the hood in its set-up condition.

Abstract: An inner frame having upper and lower portions carries an inkable pad in the lower portion thereof. The pad projects below the inner frame for contact with a surface to be stamped. An integral retaining ridge is located on the outer surface of the inner frame between the upper and lower portions. An outer frame is detachably connected to the inner frame and a hollow sleeve member is interposed between the inner and outer frames. The sleeve member has an upper flange which is located above the integral retaining ridge. A plurality of C-shaped resilient fingers integrally molded with the inner frame, outer frame or the sleeve member is located between the upper flange of the sleeve and the inner and outer frames. The lower edge of the sleeve member extends below the level of the inkable pad when the spring member is in the relaxed position. Downward pressure on the outer frame is transmitted by the detachable connection to the inner frame.
