A container when assembled includes a body, a cover, a lower grinding component, and an upper grinding component. The body includes a primary storage area compartment, the lower grinding component includes a grinding area compartment, and the upper grinding component includes a secondary storage area compartment. The upper grinding component partially nests within the lower grinding component. The lower grinding component defines a recess comprising the grinding area compartment. The upper grinding component is inserted into and partially received within the recess of the lower grinding component to form a grinder. The lower grinding component partially nests within the body of the container and the cover fits over the upper grinding component and partially over the lower grinding component when the cover is secured to the body of the grinder, whereby the grinder is completely enclosed within the body and cover of the container.

The present invention relates to a herb grinder. More particularly it is a compact-pocket size 3 piece or 4 piece grinder chassis including herb grinding compartment, spinning herb chamber floor compartment, nectar/crystal storage area and a rectangular side storage tray which is magnetically inserted into grinder chassis. The herb grinding compartment floor includes static cutting teeth, machined hole opening and central axle socket which runs perpendicular vertically down the center. This grinder further includes a lid and a hand crank embedded in it which when moved, moves all the connected components. The first compartment pulverizes the herbs into small chunks inside the herb grinding compartment, which then flows downward through the hole opening leading the herb to enter spinning chamber floor which then directs the herbs to longitudinal side storage tray.

A cooking article includes a cooking utensil and a handle that is removably connected to the cooking utensil. The handle includes a plurality of hollow seasoning compartment sections, each section configured to store grindable seasonings. The handle includes a selector switch configured to select one of the plurality of seasoning compartment sections for grinding and dispensing seasonings. The handle includes a plurality of sliding members. Each sliding member is associated with a corresponding seasoning compartment section and includes one or more grinding teeth configured to grind the grindable seasonings of the associated seasoning compartment section. The handle includes a lever configured to be pressed and released. When the lever is pressed and released, the lever moves the sliding member associated with the selected seasoning compartment section back and forth, causing the sliding member's grinding teeth to grind the grindable seasonings in the selected seasoning compartment section.

The invention involves a grinder safety cap suitable for medicinal items such as herbs or other consumable substances that may be desirably restricted from children, and which may require grinding and/or homogenizing before ingestion. The grinder safety cap is comprised of a cover shell and base shell, wherein the cover shell fits snugly over an upwardly extending top wall of the base shell. The base shell may have upwardly extending grinding protrusions, having sharp and/or serrated edges, capable of grinding, cutting, or otherwise reducing the particle size of a consumable substance. The cover shell may also have downwardly extending grinding protrusions. A consumable substance may be placed within a cavity or receptacle of the base shell, the cover shell may be placed over the top wall of the base shell so as to close the grinder safety cap, and the consumable substance may be ground by turning the cover shell.

A finger-operated herb grinder; the finger-operated herb grinder includes a grinder assembly having a top-platform and a mating bottom-platform connected by a connecting strap. The top-platform includes a top-grinding nodule and a finger retaining strap and the bottom-platform includes a bottom-grinding nodule, a hollow inner volume, a thumb retaining strap. A dispensing aperture is formed between the top-platform and the bottom-platform and is configured to dispense grinded-material therethrough. The top-platform and the bottom-platform are configured to slide in relation to each other and grind material positioned between the top-grinding nodule and the bottom-grinding nodule into fine particles.

In a grinder, inner and outer burrs are used for grinding condiment solids into fine grains with a grain size controllable by an inter-burr distance. The grinder has a first body part aligned with a second body part. A separation between the first and second body parts is adjustable by at most a predetermined limited distance, allowing a user to select the grain size by compressing the first and second body parts to alter the inter-burr distance. An undulating ring that is non-metallic and compressively resilient is positioned between the first and second body parts to push the two body parts away from each other after the user stops compressing the two body parts, avoiding the inter-burr distance to be stuck at a most-recently used value without a need of using a metallic spring to rebound the two body parts. A manufacturing cost of the grinder is reduced.

The mill for spice products, in particular such as cinnamon sticks, houses a reservoir for storing the spice product. The reservoir communicates through a passage, with a grinding mechanism. The reservoir includes a mechanism for fragmenting the spice product. The mechanism for fragmenting are defined by a crusher of the spice product.
