<p>A paper shredder includes a housing, a rotatable shredding assembly, a bin, and a flap. The housing defines a first end with a housing opening and a second end opposite the first end. The shredding assembly is positioned in the housing and has a lower wall including an output opening through which shredded scraps exit the shredding assembly. The output opening has first and second sides, and the first side is closer to the housing opening than the second side. The bin is insertable into the housing through the housing opening for collecting the shredded scraps exiting the shredding assembly, and is removable from the housing in a removal direction from the second end toward the first end. The deflector is positioned adjacent the second side of the output opening, and extends in the removal direction to cover part of the output opening to facilitate deflecting one part of the shredded scraps off of the deflector in the removal direction while allowing another part of the shredded scraps to exit in a substantially unimpeded manner.</p> |
