MODULAR GRINDING CORE AND GRINDING DEVICES INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

A modular grinding core includes a housing configured to be operatively installed in a va-riety of external grinding devices, a rasp support mem-ber having a coupling adapter configured to be oper-atively coupled to an actuation mechanism of a first external grinding device at a first time and to an actu-ation mechanism of a second external grinding device at a second time after being removed from the first ex-ternal grinding device. The rasp support member in-cludes a receptacle configured to removably receive any one of a variety of rasps. The rasp support member is configured to reciprocate in response a force exerted by the external grinding device. The modular grinding core further includes a grind block member resisting displacement of the food items or spices away from the rasp support member, and an adjustment mecha-nism allowing a user to adjust a gap between the grind block and rasp support members.
