Abstract
Abstract A combination shredding and baling device comprising means for feeding paper, books, magazines and the like into the inlet conduit of a rotary shredding device, the outlet conduit of the shredding device is connected to a housing having vacuum-pumping means connected thereto in fluid flow communication with the outlet conduit, a pair of perforated screen members having elongated openings whose longitudinal axes are disposed substantially perpendicular to one another are positioned within said housing between the outlet conduit and the vacuum-pumping means, the housing includes an integrally formed vertically disposed passageway the upper portion of which is positioned beneath the screen members and the lower portion of which is connected to a baling device and the outlet of the vacuum-pumping means is connected to one end of a porous chute whose other end is secured to a refuse collection container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A combination shredding and baling apparatus comprising a shredding device, a baling device, said shredding device including inlet means, and outlet means, means for feeding paper products to be shredded to said inlet means; an enclosed housing, an outlet conduit having one end thereof connected to said outlet means and the other end thereof connected to said housing in flow communication therewith, vacuum-pumping means connected to said housing in flow communication therewith, filter mEans disposed within said housing positioned between said other end of said outlet conduit and said vacuum-pumping means, a passageway interconnected between said housing and said baling device, said vacuum-pumping means including an outlet, a refuse container, an air-pervious member interconnected between said pumping means outlet and said refuse container, said filter means including first and second filter members, said first filter member being disposed in proximal relationship to said other end of said outlet conduit, said second filter member being disposed between said first filter member and said vacuum-pumping means, said first filter member including a generally inverted cupshaped configuration, and said second filter member including a substantially flat configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A combination shredding and baling apparatus comprising a shredding device, a baling device, said shredding device including inlet means, and outlet means, means for feeding paper products to be shredded to said inlet means; an enclosed housing, an outlet conduit having one end thereof connected to said outlet means and the other end thereof connected to said housing in flow communication therewith, vacuum-pumping means connected to said housing in flow communication therewith, filter mEans disposed within said housing positioned between said other end of said outlet conduit and said vacuum-pumping means, a passageway interconnected between said housing and said baling device, said vacuum-pumping means including an outlet, a refuse container, an air-pervious member interconnected between said pumping means outlet and said refuse container, said filter means including first and second filter members, said first filter member being disposed in proximal relationship to said other end of said outlet conduit, said second filter member being disposed between said first filter member and said vacuum-pumping means, said first filter member including a generally inverted cupshaped configuration, and said second filter member including a substantially flat configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
An apparatus in accordance with claim 2, wherein said air-pervious member is fabricated of canvas.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus in accordance with claim 2, wherein said passageway includes at least one magnetic member disposed therewithin and secured thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
