Publication number: 20100140383Abstract: Disclosed herein is a shredder having a rotatable device located adjacent an output opening of the shredder housing. The rotatable device includes a shaft configured to rotate about an axis parallel to an axis of the cutting assembly so as to allow for rotation of the device. The rotatable device has a plurality of fingers extending at least partially radially from the shaft. The rotatable device is able to rotate about the shaft axis in either direction, so as to disperse any accumulation of shredded materials in the waste bin, as well as remove shredded materials caught in or near the cutting assembly adjacent the output opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2008Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: FELLOWES, INC.Inventors: Tai Hoon Kim Matlin, Jakub M. Krynski

Patent number: 7731112Abstract: Disclosed herein is a shredder having a closure located adjacent an output opening of a shredder housing that is selectively positioned to prevent shredded materials from being discharged from the output opening. The closure may be connected to the shredder housing, and the container may comprise a removable waste bin. The closure may be actuated via an actuator to a closed position in response to the container and the shredder housing being moved out of an operative position relative to each other, such as when the waste bin is being emptied. The closure may assist in reducing or eliminating waste from being distributed in or around the shredder.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Fellowes, Inc.Inventors: Tai Hoon Kim Matlin, Scott Christopher Daigle, Art Gardner

Patent number: 7340911Abstract: In a monolithic air conditioner, a front panel is mounted on a front of a cabinet and includes an indoor air intake, an indoor air outlet, and a discharge guide backwardly extended from the indoor air outlet. An indoor heat exchanger is mounted on a back of the front panel. An air guide on which the indoor heat exchanger is mounted includes an orifice in a center to pass sucked indoor air therethrough. A scroll is mounted on a back of the air guide to guide the sucked indoor air. An indoor fan is mounted between the scroll and the air guide to suck the indoor air. A shroud is mounted on a back of the scroll to guide sucked outdoor air and it defines an orifice in a center to discharge the sucked outdoor air. An outdoor fan is mounted on a back of the shroud to suck the outdoor air, a fan motor is mounted on the scroll to drive the indoor and outdoor fans, and an outdoor heat exchanger is mounted on a back of the outdoor fan to exchange heat with the sucked outdoor air.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2005Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Jong Min Ha, Seong Kyu Min, Tai Hoon Kim, Won Suk Jang, Byeong gi Kim

Patent number: 7195185Abstract: A shedder is disclosed. The shredder includes a waste receptacle that has an interior waste receiving space, and a shredder mechanism that includes a motor and cutter elements. The shredder mechanism is positioned so that shredded articles are discharged downwardly into the waste receiving space. The receptacle includes a waste opening separate from the shredder mechanism for enabling articles to be discarded though the waste opening and received in the waste receiving space without passing through the shredder mechanism. A cover is moveable between a closed position that covers the waste opening, and an open position that opens the waste opening. A sensor for sensing the position of the cover is operatively connected to the shredder mechanism so that the shredder mechanism is inoperable at least when the sensor senses that the cover is in the open position. Other variations and improvements to shredders are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Fellowes, Inc.Inventor: Tai Hoon Kim Matlin
