Packet opening and discharging device and method of using

A portable device comprising:

• a housing forming an interior chamber;
• an axle extending a length of the housing;
• a rotatable cap disposed at a first end of the housing, the rotatable cap coupled to the axle;
• a roller element coupled to the axle, the roller element configured to rotate with manual rotation of the rotatable cap;
• a bushing disposed at a second end of the housing, the bushing rotatably coupled to the axle;
• a first slot through a first housing wall, the first slot configured to permit a packet to at least partially ingress to the interior chamber;
• a lengthwise slit in the roller element, the lengthwise slit configured to receive an edge of the packet and retain the edge as the roller element and the lengthwise slit are rotated around the axle, wherein sides of the packet are pressed inward via sidewalls of the first slot in the housing, to thereby discharge contents of the packet when the packet is pulled at least partially through the first slot in the housing wall;
• a second slot in the housing permitting a corner of the packet to be fed into a refuse chamber;
• and
• a knife element disposed at an end of the second slot to facilitate removal of the corner of the packet to thereby open the packet;
• wherein the second slot is disposed on a movable panel that opens to expose the refuse chamber, thereby permitting removal of the corner of the packet from the refuse chamber of the housing.
