It includes two side frames, upper and lower thermal conductive plates integrally formed on the frames, a pressing roller set fixed on the frames and between the upper and lower thermal conductive plates, and heating elements installed between the upper and lower thermal conductive plates. The two sidewalls of the upper thermal conductive plate is formed with several thermally convective through holes and several cavities bent inward for inserting one of the heating elements, positioning it on the inner side of the upper thermal conductive plate. The bottom of the two sidewalls of the lower thermal conductive plate is also shrunk to form a cavity for inserting the other heating element, positioning it on the inner side of the lower thermal conductive plate.

Abstract: A device for reducing vibrations and noises of a paper shredder uses a buffer device comprised of a rubber cylinder and a spring between core fixing frames and the housing base of the paper shredder. The buffer device is fixed by using screw and washer, enhancing the vibration and noise reduction effect for the paper shredder.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to cutting blades for shredders. Specifically, this invention teaches cutting blades and a rotary cutting assembly which reduce the power needed to shred paper, plastic, and other forms of media that hold information. This is accomplished by creating a cutting blade with at least three adjacent teeth. The formation of three or more adjacent teeth more readily tears through paper and other media thus reducing the amount of power necessary to drive a shredder.

Abstract: The invention provides a snap down lock and a release valve control mechanism for a vacuum food container. The vacuum food container includes a cover and a base in tight connection with the cover to form a box for storing food. A snap down lock is provided between the cover and the base. The snap down lock depresses a plug and a spring inside a U-shaped recess on the base using a corner of its square block, blocking its vent. At the same time, the snap down lock depresses a retractable spring switch provided on the base, starting a motor vacuum pump to draw out the air inside the box. Once the square block corner of the snap down lock departs from its depressing position and releases its depression on the plug and the spring, the restoring force of the spring pushes the plug out of the sealing position on the vent. The box is then in connection with the atmosphere via the vent.

Abstract: This invention discloses a nonstick shredder blade. The surface of the shredder blade is coated with a nonstick material such as Teflon to enhance its physical properties such as nonstickness and self-lubrication, so that other materials do not stick thereon. This helps the normal operation of the shredder by preventing paper jams.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the support system and waste receptacles for shredders. By removing certain supports in a shredder, the waste receptacle can be enlarged. In addition, openings in the shredder support walls allow the size of the waste receptacle to be increased, as well as facilitate disposal of other waste through the opening.

Abstract: A top-lifting paper shredder, including rectangular projections each projecting outwards from an appropriate position of opposing sides of the paper shredder; V-shaped notches formed to the wastebasket and composing a lower slant and a wall face at locations corresponding to the rectangular projections. When the paper shredder is placed above the wastebasket, the rectangular projections projecting from the opposing sides of the paper shredder abut against the notches of the wastebasket.

Abstract: A paper shredder including at lest one brush-off device provided at a paper drop opening of a casing. The brush-off device includes bristles extending towards the shafts. The entire brush-off device is able to slide reciprocally along an axial direction of the shaft so as to allow the user to actuate the brush-off device so as to remove shreds caught between two shafts at appropriate timing, thereby resolving the problem found in the conventional paper shredder where the paper shreds caught between two shafts may affect smooth shredding operation.
