A housing having an integral receptacle which is particularly useful for pencil sharpeners. The receptacle is attached to the body so as to be pivotable between a closed position, for closing a cavity of the housing, and an open position, for exposing the cavity.

A housing having an integral receptacle which is particularly useful for pencil sharpeners. The receptacle is attached to the body so as to be pivotable between a closed position, for closing a cavity of the housing, and an open position, for exposing the cavity. This is useful, for example, for emptying pencil shavings in a pencil sharpener. Attachment of the receptacle to the housing minimizes accidental opening of the receptacle and spillage of shavings. In the open position, the receptacle also serves as a spout for controlled disposal of shavings. In the preferred embodiment, the housing and receptacle have a mating rib and groove on opposing sides of the cavity which interfit when the receptacle is in the closed position to form a seal trap shavings within the cavity. Additionally, the receptacle is provided with a lower surface and rearward edge positioned to form a seal with the housing when the cover is in the closed and open positions, respectively. The receptacle may be provided with an interlock trigger for engaging and disengaging an interlock switch in the housing to prevent operation of the cutting assembly of a pencil sharpener when the receptacle is in an open position.

A magnetoelastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said magnetic field sensor means comprises a flux gate magnetometer. 14. A magneto elastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said magnetic field sensor means is mounted and oriented with respect to said magnetostrictive, magnetoelastically active region to sense the magnitude and polarity of said magnetic field. 15. A magnetoelastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 14, wherein said sensor means is positioned proximate an end of said region. 16. A magnetoelastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 14, wherein said sensor means comprises at least two sensors, at least one sensor being positioned proximate each end of said region. 17. A magnetoelastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said magnetoelastically active region has, in the absence of torque applied to said member, a circumferential magnetic orientation having no net magnetization component in the axial direction. 18. A magnetoelastic torque sensor, as claimed in claim 17, wherein said magnetoelastically active region has, when torque is applied to said member, a helical magnetic orientation having both circumferential and axial components, said magnetic field sensor means being positioned and oriented for sensing the magnetic
