| 20120037738 | BLADE OF CROSSCUT SHREDDER - A blade of the crosscut shredder has the feature that any of a plurality of blades on rotary shafts rotating in opposite directions has a plurality of primary shoots. A plurality of auxiliary shoots are provided in the vicinity of the primary shoot. The distance between the primary shoot and the blade center is slightly larger than the distance between the auxiliary shoot and the blade center. When the blades rotate in opposite directions with the rotary shafts, the auxiliary shoots of any blade on either rotary shaft pushes the paper to be shredded toward the primary shoots on the opposite blade. The primary shoots thus pierce the paper at a lower power. | 02-16-2012 |
