Structure of lottery ticket destruction apparatus

A lottery ticket destruction apparatus, comprising:

• a housing comprising a top opening for insertion of lottery tickets;
• a motor mounted in said housing and a pinion rotatable by said motor;
• sensing means mounted in said housing and adapted for sensing the presence of a lottery ticket in said top opening and starting said motor to rotate;
• a transmission gear set mounted outside said housing, said transmission gear set comprising a plurality of gears meshed together and drivable by said pinion;
• a first set of sheet-transfer rollers and a second set of sheet-transfer rollers mounted in said housing below said top opening at different elevations and rotatable by said transmission gear set, said first set of sheet-transfer rollers being disposed adjacent to said top opening and adapted for flatten each inserted lottery ticket and delivering each flattened lottery ticket through said sensing means, said second set of sheet-transfer rollers being disposed below said first set of sheet-transfer rollers;
• a set of scissor action rotary cutters arranged in pair and mounted in said housing below said second set of sheet-transfer rollers and rotatable by said transmission gear set at a relatively higher speed than said first set of sheet-transfer rollers and said second set of sheet-transfer rollers for cutting each flattened lottery ticket into small pieces through a scissor action, each said scissor action rotary cutter comprising a plurality of cutting grooves spaced around the periphery thereof,
• wherein said second set of sheet-transfer rollers is adapted for delivering flattened lottery ticket from said sensing means into said set of scissor action rotary cutters, and said set of scissor action rotary cutters are rotated to cut each flattened lottery ticket into small pieces through a scissor action.
