Different parts of a pencil sharpener and what there used for 

There are different parts of a pencil sharpener the housing, mouth, blade and cylindric gears. The housing is the base of the sharpener it’s the part that holds all the pieces together so it doesn’t fall apart, the mouth is the hole in the sharpener which is used to insert the pencil so it’s ready to be sharpened.
