A grinding device includes a storage base having a storage cavity, a grating member having a plurality of passage holes, a grinding handle having an actuating portion and a grinding cavity, at least one grinding member provided in the grinding cavity. The grinding member includes a protruding body protruding in the grinding cavity and extending in a radial direction of the grinding handle, and a plurality of grinding teeth provided on the protruding body. The grinding teeth extend in a transverse direction of the protruding body. When a predetermined amount of the food or herb items is disposed in the grinding cavity, and when the grinding handle is driven to rotate with respect to the storage base and the grating member, the grinding teeth are arranged to cut the food or herb items into fine pieces.

A portable manual grinder has a driving section, a grinding section and a discharging section coaxially connected from top to bottom. The driving section has a drive shaft that drives a central axis of the grinding section. The drive shaft is connected to a gear set that increases the gear ratio to facilitate manual grinding. The grinding section comprises an upper grinding section and a lower grinding section that are coaxially disposed and mated together. The upper and lower grinding portions include corresponding blades extending therefrom. The bottom section of the lower grinding section has one or more holes in communication with the discharge section. The driving section and the upper grinding section are magnetically attracted and connected to each other and the upper grinding section and the lower grinding section are magnetically attracted and connected to each other.

A grinder having a lid and a container. The container has an interior surface defining a cavity, and at least one container tooth extending outward from the interior surface into the cavity. The container tooth extends across at least a portion of the interior surface from adjacent a center portion of the interior surface to adjacent a peripheral edge of the interior surface. The lid has a lower surface that is configured to be at least partially received within the cavity. The lid includes at least one lid tooth that extends outward from the lower surface. The lid tooth extends across at least a portion of the lower surface from adjacent a center portion of the lower surface to adjacent a peripheral edge of the lower surface.

A herb processor has an upper cutting element having a descending cylindrical body with blades extending downward from an upper base disk in a first pattern, and a region of a specific geometry devoid of blades, a lower cutting element having an ascending cylindrical body having a central axis, an outer and an inner diameter, blades extending upward from a lower base disk in a second pattern, a region of specific geometry devoid of blades, openings through the lower base disk in a third pattern, and a lower engagement interface, and a cylindrical collection chamber having a lower closed end and an upper engagement interface. The regions devoid of blades provide a crush-free zone.

A rotational seasoning dispenser with a dispensing mechanism that applies a rotating disk which has equally separated cavities. When each cavity is in the container the stored seasoning drops into and loads the cavity. Next, the disk transfers and dispenses the seasoning outside by turning the loaded cavities from the container to a dispensing aperture. The disk has smooth, parallel and planar upper and lower planes which slide closely fitting container's planar planes above and below it. This configuration hermetically isolates the container from the environment by providing simultaneous airtight covering of each cavity while it approaches and overlaps the dispensing aperture. This isolation prevents atmospheric moisture absorption which results in lumping of seasoning. The rotating cavities also can loosen lumped seasoning into particulates. An electrically motorized version of the dispenser is also included. The dispenser is configured to dispense substantially equal amounts of seasoning for each manual activation.

A grinder for reducing particle size of an organic matter, for example herbs, includes a housing assembly supporting a gauge screen therein to define a cutting chamber thereabove and a receiving chamber therebelow. A plurality of fixed blades are mounted in the cutting chamber in fixed relation to the housing assembly and a plurality of rotating blades rotate relative to the fixed blades to reduce size of the organic matter by cutting, shearing and/or grinding. The gauge screen is replaceable with other screens of different gauge independently of the fixed and rotating blades. The blades are bidirectional and include guide surfaces on the fixed blades which guide material downwardly and into the direction of rotation relative to respective cutting edges of the blades as the rotating blades are rotated relative to the fixed blades in either direction.

A grinder system including an upper body, a dispenser, a grinder portion, a chute, a filter body, and a lower body. The dispenser may have a dispenser wall about a central axis and with a dispenser window. The grinder portion may have a platform with a plurality of holes and a second plurality of teeth facing the upper body. The chute may be rotatably coupled to the dispenser wall about a chute axis. The chute may be configured to cover the dispenser window in a closed configuration and rotate about the chute axis to uncover at least a portion of the dispenser window in an open configuration. The grinder portion may be part of or separate from the dispenser.
