Abstract
The present invention provides new paper shredding devices mountable on various horizontal and vertical surfaces. The paper shredder has a housing defining a paper inlet and a shredding knife in the housing positioned downstream of the paper inlet. A shredding knife controller is connected to the shredding knife. A shredded paper receptacle is positioned downstream of the shredding knife. A bottom of the housing serves as a tabletop mount for standing the shredder on a tabletop. One or more holes may be provided in the back side of the housing to permit the shredder to be mounted on a wall.
