PAPER SHREDDER WITH STAPLE AND CLIP REMOVER

摘要

A paper shredder includes a housing, cutters positioned in the housing, and a feeder base adapted to support a stack of paper. The feeder base includes a feeder slot. The feeder base further includes a sidewall extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the feeder slot, and an aperture formed in the feeder base at a location spaced from the feeder slot. The aperture provides a pathway between a top surface of the feeder base and a waste area below the feeder base and has a first end closest to the sidewall and defining a first end point closest to the feeder slot, and a second end farthest from the sidewall and defining a second end point closest to the feeder slot. The first end point is closer to the feeder slot than the second end point.
