ABSTRACT:
A paper bundler for stacking and bundling recyclable paper waste, such as newspapers, magazines, and legal size or letter size office paper. The apparatus has two main parts, a basket and a cradle. The basket is made in two parts which are independently mounted to the cradle so they are free to rotate. Together, the halves of the basket form a paper receptacle which is rectangular and open at the top, with a gap in the middle for applying a strapping agent, such as masking tape. The cradle has a rectangular base and two vertical sides which support the rotating basket. A compression bar with a toggle latch is mounted on each half of the basket adjacent the gap between the two halves. The papers can be placed directly in the bundler as they are discarded. When the stack reaches a convenient size, the compression bars are used to compact the loose stack of newspapers into a tight bundle and hold them as the basket is rotated to apply the strapping agent to complete the bundling operation. The bundles thus formed are neat, compact, uniform in size, and very unlikely to come undone, even after rough handling.
