<p>A shredding cabinet (2) adapted for use with a shredding device (12) for shredding waste material, particularly waste paper, includes a pair of spaced apart side walls (6, 4) and a top (10) defining a space (11) into which a receptacle may be located for receiving shredded material from the shredding device. The shredding cabinet is provided with one or more safety devices (16, or 50, 52) which prevent operation of shredding device (12) when there is no receptacle in space (11). One form of the safety device is a slidable or hinged plate (18) which is biased into the closed position by a tension spring (22) whereas another form of the safety device is a two component proximity switch or similar (50, 52) in which component (50) is attached to the receptacle and component (52) to the cabinet. The safety device or devices prevent operation of the shredding device (12) thereby preventing accidental injury to an operator using the shredding device.</p> |
