Description

  The present invention relates to a shredder, and in particular, proposes a safety device that prevents injury by closing a lower outlet of a paper insertion path when a finger is extended to a slot.

  Finance for the whole family, such as various documents such as public legal documents, financial receipts, unified voting (government certified receipts), credit card numbers, research reports, credit card monthly bills, telephone bill bills, etc. In order to avoid leakage of documents to outside unauthorized persons, usually confidential documents and documents are disposed of with a shredder to prevent leakage of data. Therefore, the shredder has become an indispensable facility for commercial and family life.

  The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) promulgated the Paper Shredder Safety Alert in May 2004 as document 5127. The document is mainly a call to a family with a shredder for safety that the entire family must pay particular attention to when operating the shredder. The committee received 31 reports of unexpected finger injuries that occurred during the operation of the shredder between January 2000 and December 2003, and the absolute majority of those injured were between 14 months and 2 years old. He points out that he is a child, especially an infant who has just started walking. Infants at this stage are also very fond of imitating adult behavior, playing with shredders when they are not careful, and leading to injury. There is no guarantee that no injuries will occur even when an adult is looking sideways, and the shredder will release the hand holding the paper because it will pull in the process of cutting the paper. If it was slow, the pulling force pulled the fingers together into the shredder slot, causing injury.

Therefore, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission warned consumers of special precautions when using shredders as follows.
1. Never let a young child operate the shredder alone. Even if an adult is watching by the side, it must be recognized that the shredder's pulling force can cause the infant's hand to be pulled together into the shredder slot.
2. Do not place the shredder in a position where infants can easily touch it.
3. Pull out the outlet when the shredder is not used.
4. Do not place your hands or fingers on the shredder.
5. When wearing loose clothing, do not operate the shredder to avoid getting the clothing caught in the shredder slot.
6. Keep safety distance between tie, necklace, etc. and shredder slot.

  A general shredder slot has a width that can be inserted by an infant's hand, and may lead to injury by the cutter or severely crushed. Therefore, it is very necessary to attach a safety protection device to the insertion port position in order to prevent injuries due to manual entry into the insertion port.
