Description

Grinder for spices, salt and products Similar.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as its title indicates, is  refers to grinder for food products, of the type of which is placed in the mouth of a container as a stopper and which, when turned, with the container in an inverted position, allows grind and consequently sprinkle with the ground product the foods.

Background of the invention

There are currently many grinders of this type, both for pepper shakers or reusable containers, such as for containers that are already sold full of product and that in Consequently they are discarded once it has been consumed.

In general, grinders coupled in containers disposable have an element as a rotating cap, which immobilizes in the mouth of the container, which is provided with a helical wheel that rotates in a cylindrical cavity, equipped with inner nerves, so that the product is imprisoned and consequently ground as it is pushed into the mouth of the container, leaving through an existing circular groove between both pieces; all this when the container is placed face down on top of the product to sprinkle.

There is no reference for mixed packaging, it is say packages that allow dispensing ground product, through the grinder, and natural or whole product.

Description of the invention

The grinder of the invention has a emergency inside the container, hollow and provided with some stepped nerves. Inside this emergency turns a mobile element, which is coupled with a rotating outer cap freely with respect to the fixed element in the package. This mobile element also has a conical emergency provided with some helical ribs, located inside the fixed working space of spinning wheel On the outer side of the container, between the fixed part and the  mobile, there is a peripheral channel through which the product that grinds when imprisoned between the mobile conical part and the nerves of the fixed part.

The grinder of the present invention features the peculiarity that allows to extract product from the container in the that is placed, both ground, and with the shape or granulometry original, that is, without grinding.

For this, it is planned that mobile element that  conforms the wheel of the grinder centrally present a duct that communicates the outside with the inside of the container through the same. This duct is closed externally by means of a piece circular, which rotates in two diametrically opposite points moving in the form of a rocker, which has two stable positions: one closed position in which the product has to be extracted through of the grinder, and another partially open, in which the product it is extracted from the container, without grinding, through said conduit.

In a preferred embodiment this piece circular that acts as a rocker presents an orthogonal emergency towards the outer face of rounded profile, which constitutes a stop for handling, so that it is placed outwards when the auxiliary conduit for the output of the product without grinding it is closed and hidden, dejected in the semi-half of the duct, when it is open.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a diametral section of this grinder when the product outlet central duct without grind is closed.

Figure 2 is a section equivalent to the anterior when the duct is open.

Figure 3 shows the different pieces that they become part of this grinder, in a view in perspective and disassembled, in deployed position.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced this grinder is constituted by the following pieces:

-

A first element (1) that attaches to the mouth of the container product container, equipped with tabs or other means equivalents for immobilization in the container.

This plug is opened superiorly by a circular window that extends into the container in an emergency (12) that is provided internally with some generatricial nerves, laterally wedge.

-

By a mobile element is placed on top of this first fixed element (1) (3) which, in combination with the previous one, allows the product to be ground  Container content

This item (3) has a conical emergency (31) directed towards the inside the package, which is provided by its outer face of a helical engraving that faces the nerves of the emergency (12).

This item (3) rotates freely with respect to the element (1) fixed in the package, remaining on the outer face, between it and the fixed element (1), a perimeter groove (32) through which the product comes out milled by the turning action of this element, when the container upside down and the product contained in it is imprisoned and channeling to this exit zone, as it is crushed by the action of the spinning wheel (31) against the nerves of the cavity (12).

-

By above the aforementioned elements, fixed (1) and mobile (3) and coupled in the latter, the element (2) presenting the aspect of a plug when the previous ones are hidden in its inside.

The element (2) then, together with (3), for which purpose both are joined by a series of radial fins (34) that pass over of the fixed element (1).

-

He rocker (4) featuring a circular body, equipped with two diametrically opposed projections (41) that engage in notches existing in the recess (33) of the mobile element (3).

The element mobile (3) centrally has a recess (33), inside the emergency (31) that communicates the inside of the container with the Exterior. This gap is closed by the rocker (4), which can adopt a closed position when it works as a grinder (see Fig. 1), or open (see Fig. 2) to be able to take product from the inside the container without grinding.

This seesaw (4) presents an outward orthogonal emergency (42) for your handling. This emergency is out in the position of closed and hidden inside the hole in the position of open.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not involve an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
