  • Patent number: 10639642
    Abstract: A paper shredder having shredder cover and a motor coupled to shredder blades includes a shredder throat in proximity to shredder blades. The shredder throat has a moveable blade, and a fixed blade. A shredder jam grip has a projection in communication with a power switch plunger. When the shredder is in the NORMAL position, a throat gap is in its normal position and the projection positions the plunger to power to the motor. When the shredder is in the JAM CLEAR position, the throat gap is in its wide position and the projection positions the plunger to remove power from the motor.

  • Patent number: 10594050
    Abstract: An integrated locking and sealing fastener with electrical conductivity is revealed. The integrated locking and sealing fastener with electrical conductivity includes a fastener with a surface and a conductive anti-loosening coating. A part of the surface of the fastener is a fastening contact surface and the conductive anti-loosening coating is formed on the fastening contact surface. The conductive anti-loosening coating consists of an anti-loosening portion and a conductive portion mixed with each other. The anti-loosening portion is made from polyamide (PA) resin, acrylic (PMMA) resin, polyethylene, epoxy resin, silicone, rubber, or the combinations. The conductive portion is made from materials including carbon black, metal powders, a silver wire, graphite, or the combinations. The coating on the fastener not only prevents loosening and leakage but also provides electrical conductivity.

  • Patent number: 10537896
    Abstract: A paper shredder with counter-rotating shredder blades coupled to a shredder motor, including a paper tray having a floor and being shaped to receive paper. The floor has an offset slot therein adjacent to the counter-rotating shredder blades. The engagement wheels partly protrude through floor, adjacent to the offset slot. The engagement wheels frictionally engage paper and turn towards the offset slot to force paper into the shredder blades. Also, a dentate catch disposed in each corner of the paper tray temporarily holds an affixment while a sheet of paper held by the affixment is being frictionally engaged by the engagement wheels to enter the slot for comminution. A PAPER FULL sensor, a DOOR OPEN sensor, an OVERLOAD sensor, an OVERHEAT sensor, a paper-in-tray sensor, a paper-at-entry sensor, a SAFETY LOCK sensor, and a cover door open/closed sensor are provided, as are AUTO and MANUAL modes of operation.

  • Publication number: 20190232299
    Abstract: A paper scrap pushing structure of a paper shredder, including a rotating shaft, a paper pushing rod, and connecting rods, in which the rotating shaft is arranged under a paper outlet, and is in linkage with a paper shredder cutter shaft through a synchronous transmission device. The paper pushing rod is located on one side of the rotating shaft, arranged in the length direction of the rotating shaft in parallel and connected with the rotating shaft through the connecting rods. The distance from the paper pushing rod to the rotating shaft is smaller than the distance from the lowest portion of the paper shredder cutter shaft to the rotating shaft. When rotating, the rotating shaft drives the paper pushing rod to move in a circumferential direction through the connecting rods, removing paper scraps at the top of a paper scrap pile in a shredded paper waste bin.

    Abstract: A method and device for detecting a force factor of a loudspeaker is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing the loudspeaker with a dynamic driving voltage signal; continuously measuring a current signal flowing through the loudspeaker; observing the current signal and if the current signal shows that the diaphragm excursion of the loudspeaker is greater than an displacement limit, decreasing the driving voltage signal until the current signal shows that the diaphragm excursion of the loudspeaker is less than or equal to the displacement limit; and substituting the current driving voltage signal, the current signal, the displacement limit, and an electrical impedance of the loudspeaker into a function so as to compute the force factor of the loudspeaker.
