A dual condiment grinder contains: a body, a transmitting mechanism, a covering assembly, and a grinding mechanism. The body includes a first chamber and a second chamber, the grinding mechanism includes a first transmission column and a second transmission column. The covering assembly includes an inner cover and an outer cover. The body includes a first retaining recess and a second retaining recess. The transmitting mechanism includes a holder, a pressing member, a rotary shaft, a main gear, a left gear, a right gear, a first transmission gear, and a second transmitting gear. The main gear does not mesh with the left gear and the right gear, the first transmission gear does not mesh with the second transmitting gear, and the first transmission gear and the second transmitting gear mesh with the main gear respectively, such that two different ingredients are ground in the first chamber and the second chamber. |

1. A dual condiment grinder comprising: a body, a transmitting mechanism, a covering assembly, and a grinding mechanism;
the body including a first chamber and a second chamber separated from the first chamber, the grinding mechanism disposed below the body and including a first transmission column and a second transmission column extending outwardly from a top end thereof and connecting with the transmitting mechanism, and the covering assembly being comprised of an inner cover and an outer cover, characterized in that the body includes a first retaining recess defined on a top end of the body adjacent to the first chamber and includes a second retaining recess defined on the top end of the body proximate to the second chamber and opposite to the first retaining recess; the transmitting mechanism includes a holder, a pressing member, a rotary shaft, a main gear, a left gear, a right gear, a first transmission gear, and a second transmission gear, wherein the holder has: a first locking projection mounted on one side of a bottom end thereof and retaining with the first retaining recess, a second locking projection mounted on another side of the bottom end of the holder and retaining with the first retaining recess, a first notch defined on a central portion of a top end of the holder so as to receive the main gear, a second notch and a third notch formed on two sides of the first notch so as to receive the left gear and the right gear, wherein the second notch has a first hole defined on a central portion thereof so as to insert the first transmission column, and the third notch has a second hole defined on a central portion thereof so as to insert the first transmission column; the pressing member has a first orifice for matching with the first notch, a second orifice for mating with the second notch, a third orifice for cooperating with the third notch; the holder further has a first tilted cutout formed adjacent to the second notch and a second tilted cutout arranged proximate to the third notch; the pressing member also has a first tilted aperture for matching with the first tilted cutout and a second tilted aperture for mating with the second tilted cutout; the main gear has a square hole defined on a central portion thereof so as to insert the rotary shaft, the left gear has a first square recess formed on a central portion of a bottom end thereof so as to insert the first transmission column, and the right gear has a second square recess formed on a central portion of a bottom end thereof so as to insert the second transmission column, such that two ends of the main gear are inserted into the first notch of the holder and the first orifice of the pressing member, two ends of the left gear are inserted into the second notch of the holder and the second orifice of the pressing member, and the two ends of the right gear are inserted into the third notch of the holder and the third orifice of the pressing member, two ends of the first transmission gear are received in the first tilted cutout of the holder and the first tilted aperture of the pressing member, and two ends of the second transmission gear are received in the second tilted cutout of the holder and the second tilted aperture of the pressing member, hence after the pressing member is connected with the holder, the rotary shaft is inserted into the square hole of the main gear so as to form the transmitting mechanism; the first transmission column and the second transmission column of the grinding mechanism are inserted into the first square recess of the left gear and the second square recess of the right gear through the first hole and the second hole of the holder, and a top end of the rotary shaft is inserted into the square trench of the inner cover, the inner cover is retained with the holder, and the outer cover is fitted with the inner cover. |
