A grinder device is provided. The grinder device may include a container, a cap assembly configured to be friction-fit to the container such that the cap assembly is removably lockable to the container, and a grinding mill disposed within the cap assembly to perform a grinding operation of condiment disposed in the container. The grinding mill may include a movable grinder portion and a fixed grinder portion that are rotatable relative to each other, and the fixed grinder portion is engageable with the container to permit relative rotation between the cap assembly and the container.

An upper part for a spice mill at least partly of a plastic material includes an upper cover surface with at least one opening, in particular a through-opening for ground spices, a circumferential lateral surface, and a milling element or a mounting for the milling element. A preferably elastically deformable snap-action element, by which the upper part can be rotatably connected to a lower part, is arranged so as to be flush with the opening in plan view.

A coffee densifier is disclosed. The coffee densifier comprises an elongated chamber, a densifier motor, a shaft, a plurality of densifier members, a discharge door actuator, a densifier motor load sensor, and a controller. The plurality of densifier members are fixed to the shaft and configured to polish a plurality of coffee particles of the ground coffee within the elongated chamber when the plurality of densifier members are rotated by the shaft through the ground coffee within the mixing chamber. The controller configured to signal the discharge door actuator to move the discharge door to increase or decrease a density of the ground coffee exiting the chamber through the discharge opening when the densifier motor load is outside a predefined densifier motor load operating range.

A cleaning material for use in a device comprising a grinder comprises at least one organic material processed to retain hygroscopic properties while having reduced components leading to gelling or thickening of the at least one organic material, as well as a binder and a humectant. In an embodiment, the cleaning material comprises about 80-89 wt % of the at least one organic material, about 10-15 wt % of the binder and about 1-5 wt % of the humectant. In another embodiment, the at least one organic material may comprise malted wheat grain that is heated for 30-40 minutes at approximately 150° F., followed by further heating in successive 30 minute intervals in which temperature is increased in each interval by 50° F. until 400° F. is reached, followed by further heating for approximately 2.5 hours at 400° F., followed by introduction of water into the rotating drum and forced air cooling.

Automatic calibration process for electronic grinder-doser apparatuses of coffee in beans provided with an electronic weighing device directly connected to the logic control unit of the apparatus, wherein the grinding times necessary for obtaining the requested dose weight in grams of ground coffee are pre-set, the process being aimed at periodically checking the quantity of coffee actually ground, re-calculating and re-setting the grinding times in the logic unit. The process particularly comprises a first phase (Phase A) of start, a second phase (Phase B) of sampling by multiple short and long detections, a third phase (Phase C) of processing by compensation calculation and a fourth phase (Phase D) of self-adjustment, the second, third and fourth phases (Phases B-D) being totally automatic, that is to say, being sequentially carried out by the electronic grinder-doser apparatus as automatic procedures by the logic control unit.
摘要:
A shredder or grinder for dried material such as herbs of dried leaves is a cylindrical container formed of a top element and a base element forming a chamber, the top element and the base element each having a series of concentrically arranged teeth on a base plate, wherein the teeth that slidably engage one another in a slicing motion to form grinding surfaces against one another, wherein the teeth are serrated to efficiently grind the dried materials in the chamber when the teeth engage one another and are counter rotated relative to one another. In one embodiment the chamber discharges the ground contents through orifices in the base element, where the size is regulated by a screen, and in another embodiment, the ground contents remain in the chamber until the grinding head is removed.
摘要:
The present invention is a grinding apparatus that has two bearings or rotational supports attached to the central shaft, as opposed to one bearing or rotational support, for added stability and consistency in grain size during grinding. The core components of the invention are a shaft, an upper bearing or rotational support, an inner grinding burr, an outer grinding burr, a lower bearing or rotational support, and a stabilizing cage. These components are configured as follows: the shaft is axially in contact to an upper bearing or rotational support, and an inner grinding burr is attached axially to the shaft and underneath the upper bearing or rotational support; a lower bearing or rotational support is axially in contact to said shaft and underneath the inner grinding burr; and a stabilizing cage is in contact to the exterior of the lower bearing and holds the bearing in place with respect to the exterior housing of the grinder. The invention can be used to provide much more consistent grain size when grinding substances which is necessary in certain applications; notably, applications in the culinary arts. Furthermore, the removable aspect of the stabilizing cage facilitates the user's removal of this component for cleaning of the grinder apparatus.

A grinder has a jar having a surface provided with a screwthread. A grinding cap has a lower part engageable over the surface of the jar and provided with a screwthread such that the lower part can be screwed onto the jar and an upper part rotatable on the lower part. Grinding formations on the parts are effective on relative rotation of the parts. A ramp projects radially from the jar surface toward the cap surface, and a generally angularly extending and radially elastically deflectable arm has an inner end fixed on the cap surface and an outer end spaced in a relaxed condition of the arm radially outward from the cap surface toward the jar surface. The arm is oriented to engage and have its outer end deflected radially toward the cap surface by the ramp on screwing of the lower part onto the jar.

A spice grinder comprising a bottle (60) and a grinder unit (10) which is screwed onto the bottle. The grinder unit comprises a fixed component (12) and a rotatable component (14). The components have teeth (28, 44) which face one another across a grinding gap (52). The component (12) has one or more ramps (54) on the inside thereof and the bottle (60) has one or more external ramps (66). Each ramp (54) comprises a camming surface (56) and a locking surface (58) which intersect. The ramp (66) also comprises a camming surface (68) and a locking surface (70). When the grinder unit (10) is screwed onto the bottle the ramps (54, 66) ride over one another until the surfaces (56, 70) clear one another and the surfaces (58, 70) snap into face-to-face contact to prevent the grinder unit being rotated in the direction which unscrews it from the bottle.
摘要:
A combined pepper grinder and salt shaker (1) having an upper portion (2) of the device that stores salt and also having apertures (3) to dispense the salt. A bottom portion (9) comprises a pepper mill that grinds peppercorn. The upper portion attaches to the bottom portion via a pressure fit clip-top shell (20), spring retaining ring (21) and push buttons (22), that allow a user to easily remove the upper portion from the bottom portion.
