Description: INCLUDE UNIT OF PAPER- RESUSE The invention is related to waste paper handling and sorting. Waste paper is produced in different places, like in offices, at home, in schools and in industry. Nowadays waste paper has to be sorted in order to improve the quality of recycled material and to make the recycling process more efficient. The packing and sorting of waste paper makes its processing more efficient. There is no system or device for sorting waste paper in places where it is produced. Blocking devices have been made for packing waste paper. The registered PC T-model number 2522 introduces a blocking device for packing magazines and paper sheets. Part of the waste paper in offices must be destroyed, and the information on the papers may not be readable after handling. Paper shredders are used for destroying papers. Shredding machines are units with a cutting and collecting device; usually there is a plastic bag or box for collecting the paper. From the collecting bag or box the waste paper is delivered for further processing without any packing. There are a lot of problems related to collecting and sorting systems of waste paper. Unsorted waste paper causes handling and quality problems in the deinking process. One of the main problems in processing is plastic for instance. Plastic can be part of the packing and blocking material. The purpose of this innovation is to introduce a waste paper handling unit, which can solve the problems mentioned earlier. With a unit in accordance with the innovation waste paper is handled and sorted in the place where it is produced. With the unit sheets and magazines are collected, sorted and packed, shredded waste paper can be packed in a recycleable way. The handling of waste paper is carried out in a rational way by using this collecting unit. The unit contains the storage unit for packing, which helps to prevent plastics from getting mixed with waste paper. The waste paper handling unit in accordance with the innovation has remarkable benefits. The process of handling and packing is controlled, and plastics and other impurities can not be mixed with waste paper. Paper is sorted for recycling, shredded paper can be packed inside the unit and the packing is suitable for the recycling process. Characteristic of the collecting unit in accordance with the invention are the features listed in the essential elements of the protective claims. The waste paper collecting unit is described in the enclosed drawing as follows: In figure 1 the unit is shown from above. The structure of the binding unit can be seen in figure 2. The waste paper handling unit contains parts 2,3 and 4 for sorting and binding. The shredder 8, the collecting and packing device 6 for chopped paper and storage 5 for packing material. The sorting boxes 2,3 and 4 are equipped with a binding device 9. Parts 2,3 and 4 are designed for sorting and binding different paper types such as sheets, news papers, magazines etc. The shredder is located at the top 10 of the waste paper handling unit. After the chopping process the waste paper is collected in the packing box 7, where the paper is stored for transportation. The box 7 is made of recyclable waste paper material, which means that it can be processed with the waste material. The waste paper handling unit includes a storage box for packing material 5, where the collecting boxes for chopped paper 7 and the binding material can be stored. The structure of the binding unit according to the innovation can be seen in figure 1. The binding unit is shown in fig. 2. It contains bands 20 and 12, which are equipped with hooks 13 and 14. The other ends of the bands are equipped with locking devices 15 and 16. The binding device includes the tension band 17 with the handle 18. The ends of tension band 17 are fastened to the binding bands 20 and 12 at the location of the locking device. The tension band runs through the locking device. The binding bands are fastened to each other by connection pieces 19 at a specified distance. The function of the binding device, the binding device is located at the bottom of the collecting box, where the waste paper is to be collected. The fastening devices 13 and 14, located at the ends of the binding bands 20 and 12, are fastened to the hooks at the upper top of the box. The locking devices 15 and 16 are fastened to the other side of the box in the same way. The collected paper is placed into the box on the binding device. When the paper is removed from the box, the tention band 17 is fastened to the locking devices 13 and 14, the handle 18 is pulled and raised, when the block is tightened. The block can be removed and carried by the handle 18. The block is released from the binding device at the waste paper collecting point. The binding device can now be returned into the collecting box. This description and the drawings describe one example of a waste paper handling and blocking unit. It is clear for experts in this field, that the unit can be realized in different combinations within this protection claim.
