Description

Pepper mill with movable dirt floor

The invention relates to a device for collecting the residual pepper, which is after Completion of the grinding process by shutting down and / or transporting the pepper mill, still loosens from the grinder.

The collection of residual pepper from the pepper mills is always desirable when the Pepper mill is turned off after use and / or transported to another location. In the already known pepper mills, the grinder is completely open at the bottom, which is why The consequence is that a separate collecting vessel must always be felt to remove the contamination to prevent. Furthermore, pepper mills are known, which by means of a snap dirt base be completely closed. Although this snap-on dirt floor solves the problem of soiling when parking and / or during transport, it does, however, result in that it can be removed separately before each use and then clipped on again got to. There is also the risk, since it is not firmly connected to the pepper mill, that he is easily lost.

There is therefore an object to provide a user-friendly pepper mill, which one enables quick, uncomplicated and clean use.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

By means of a dirt floor 2 integrated in the pepper mill 1, which by means of a continuous Rod 3, can be opened or closed, the remaining pepper, which is is still in the grinder 4, collected. With this locking technique, a clean park and / or transport allows. It is also ensured that the dirt

bottom 2 can not be lost, because he means of the continuous rod 3, on the On the top there is a screwed-on oval (9) that is firmly connected to the pepper mill 1.

Another advantage of this invention is that the handling, through the uncomplicated opening or closing of the dirty floor 2 by means of the continuous rod 3, is in no way restricted to conventional pepper mills without a dirty floor. A restriction in handling by means of a dirty floor is most evident in the pepper mills, which are equipped with a loose dirty floor.

A possible embodiment is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Dirty floor

Figure I shows the pepper mill 1 in cross section with a movable, but closed Dirty floor 2 and the continuous actuating rod 3, which is provided by a Cavity, in the center, through the entire pepper mill 1 is passed. To one To ensure optimal closure, the lower edge 5 of the pepper mill 1 was stepped discontinued. At the same time the dirt floor 2 was provided with a recess 6 so that this can intervene perfectly in the stepped shoulder of the pepper mill 1.

Figure II shows the pepper mill 1 as in Figure I, but with the difference that here the movable dirt floor 2 is open.

Figure III shows the pepper mill 1 as in Figure I and Π, but with the difference that here

the movable dirt floor 2 with the actuating rod 3 is shown separately.

When using the PfefFermühle 1 with movable dirt floor 2, the procedure is as follows;

Grasp the pepper mill 1 at the top of the rotary knob 7 with your whole hand and the operating rod 3 press down. The dirty floor 2 is thus opened. The pepper mill Hold 1 at a slight angle and turn the rotary knob 7. Pepper comes out. After completion of the grinding process pull the operating rod 3 upwards. Thus the dirty floor becomes 2 closed again.
