The device consists of a paper guiding part formed by a pair of substantially parallel plates spaced with a slot for guiding the paper and a flange for attachment to the shredder. The paper guiding part of the chute may be hinged to the flange for tilting the guiding part into an inoperative position, when necessary. In order to hold the chute in an operative, i.e. upright position, the device is provided with a support member that is pivotally connected to the rear side of the chute. For holding the chute in the upright position, the free end of the support member bears against a stopper provided on the flange.
