Shredder having an illuminating module

Abstract

Disclosed is a shredder, where the shredder is provided with an illuminating module neighboring a control panel or paper inlet thereof. The illuminating module is electrically connected to an activating circuit of the shredder motor, such that illuminators of the illuminating module are illuminated at the same time of activating a motor for driving the paper shredding cutter, and turned off at the same of deactivating the motor after completing the shredding, so as to feature the shredding operation with playful interest.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

These and other modifications and advantages will become even more apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and from the drawings in which:

FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing illustrating an illuminating module neighboring a control panel of a shredder according to this invention; and

FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing illustrating an illuminating module neighboring a paper inlet of a shredder according to this invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS)

With reference t the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an illuminating module neighboring a control panel and a paper inlet of a shredder, respectively.

As shown, the shredder 1 is provided with at least one illuminating module 2 neighboring a control panel or paper inlet 11 thereof. The illuminating module 2 may include illuminators 21 such as plural light emitting diodes (LED) or any other kind of lighting source, and the illuminating module 2 is electrically connected to a motor activating circuit (not shown) of the shredder 1, such that illuminators 21 of the illuminating module 2 are illuminated at the same time of activating a motor for driving the paper shredding cutter 12, and turned off at the same of deactivating the motor after completing the shredding. Thus, during shredding operation, non-precedent visual effects can thus been rendered by the illumination of the illuminating module so as to enhance playful interest provided by the shredding operation.

Furthermore, the plural LED illuminators 21 may be of a colorful RGB module (RGB) or a running information LED display mode may be adopted to enhance lighting variations, so as to stimulate visual sense and to enhance playful interest provided by the shredding operation.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.

Claims
