SHREDDER AND SCRAP RECEPTACLE STRUCTURE FOR USE THEREIN

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress shred scraps which are shred by a shredding mechanism outside a scrap receptacle with a simple configuration.SOLUTION: A shredder comprises: a shredder housing 1 having a carry-in path 3 in which a sheet-like object S is carried; a shredding mechanism 4 which is provided on a midway of the carry-in path 3 in the shredder housing 1, and shreds the sheet-like object S which is carried in the carry-in path 3; a scrap receptacle 5 which is provided below the shredding mechanism 4 in the shredder housing 1, and in which shred scraps Sa, which are shred by the shredding mechanism 4, are accommodated; a partition member 8 which is so provided as to partition the shredding mechanism 4 and the scrap receptacle 5 in the shredder housing 1, and has a passage port 8a through which the shred scraps Sa, which are shred by the shredding mechanism 4, can pass; and a blocking mechanism 6 which is provided between an opening edge of the scrap receptacle 5 and a circumference of the passage port 8a of the partition member 8, and forms a blocking wall 7 which can block scattering of the shred scraps Sa outside the scrap receptacle 5 without changing a bottom part position of the scrap receptacle 5 during at least shredding operation of the shredding mechanism 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】簡単な構成で、細断機構による細断屑が屑入れ外へ飛散する事態を抑える。【解決手段】シート状物Ｓが搬入される搬入経路３を有するシュレッダ筐体１と、シュレッダ筐体１内の搬入経路３の途中に設けられ、当該搬入経路３に搬入されたシート状物Ｓを細断する細断機構４と、シュレッダ筐体１内の細断機構４の下方に設けられ、細断機構４にて細断された細断屑Ｓａが収容される屑入れ５と、シュレッダ筐体１内で細断機構４と屑入れ５の間を仕切るように設けられ、細断機構４にて細断された細断屑Ｓａが通過可能な通過口８ａを有する仕切り部材８と、屑入れ５の開口縁と仕切り部材８の通過口８ａの周囲との間に設けられ、少なくとも細断機構４による細断動作時には、屑入れ５の底部位置を変化させずに屑入れ５外への細断屑Ｓａの飛散をせき止め可能にするせき止め壁７を形成するせき止め機構６と、を備える。【選択図】図１
