Abstract: An automatic pencil-feeding device for a pencil sharpener, comprising a bracket (1) and a rotary disc (3), rotating shafts (5) respectively located at two pairs of clamping wheel bearing seats (11) of the bracket (1), rotating wheels (51) and friction wheels (52) for clamping pencils successively nested on the rotating shafts (5), and the two friction wheels (52) located at the ends of the two rotating shafts which are remote from each other. The rotary disc (3) is arranged in the middle of the two pairs of clamping wheel bearing seats (11), in the middle of the bracket (1) and the rotary disc (3) is provided a through-hole (31) enabling a pencil to be passed through.

Abstract: A pencil sharpener includes a base having a bottom surface adapted for being supported by a horizontal surface. A cutting assembly is mounted to the base and projects upwardly therefrom. A cage is disposed above the base and has an upper portion surrounding the cutting assembly. The upper portion of the cage includes at least one radial chute. An upper cover portion has an opening for insertion of an end of a pencil. A receptacle disposed above the base surrounds the cage, for collecting the shavings from sharpening a pencil.
