SPICE/PEPPER-MILL ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM

摘要

Disclosed herein is a unique adjustable spice/pepper-mill. The spice/pepper-mill is equipped with a shifter mechanism (6) which can be placed in three different positions. The shifter (6) located at the bottom of the spice/pepper-mill. The three positions of the shifter translate into the production of fine, medium and coarse ground spices/pepper. The different settings for grind size are found by rotating a tapered step ring (11) which applies upward pressure on a male grinding mill (13) forcing it upwardly into a female grinding mill (14). The higher the male grinding mill is located, the smaller the ground spice/pepper size produced.
