As a result, a ratchet device 13 as a one-way intermittent rotating device for intermittently driving the rotating shaft 8 in one direction by swinging the drive handle 11 is configured. And
A base cap 15B is fitted on the upper surface of the base substrate 15A, and is fixed by screws 50, 50 to form a substantially sealed device chamber 16 in which a driving mechanism such as the ratchet device 13 is provided. Inside the container body 2, the spice passages 1 formed on both sides of the base member 15 having the device chamber 16 from the spice storage section 3 above the base member 15.

To use the spice mill 1 as described above, the cap 14 is opened and the spice storage section 3 of the container body 2 is opened.
And spices S such as pepper, sansho, sesame, etc. are put in the form of grains, and the cap 14 is closed again. When the fixed handle 10 and the drive handle 11 projecting from the side of the container body 2 are repeatedly gripped with one hand, the drive handle 11 swings at a predetermined angle with respect to the container body 2 and the handle board of the drive handle 11 Feed claw 43 attached to 32
Accordingly, the ratchet wheel 36 intermittently rotates in only one direction in a state where the rotation in the reverse direction is restricted by the pawl springs 46 and 46. Due to the intermittent rotation of the rotating shaft 8 in one direction, the inner blade 9 attached to the rotating shaft 3 intermittently rotates in only one direction with respect to the outer blade 7 fixed to the container body 2, The particles of the spice S are pulverized between the inner surface 7 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner blade 9 and discharged from the lower end opening of the container body 2.

As described above, according to the spice grinder 1 of the present invention, spices can be crushed and discharged with only one hand operation, and in the case of cooking or the like, cooking utensils such as a frying pan or the like can be used with one hand. The spices can be sprinkled with the other hand on the ingredients in the cooking utensil with the other hand while stirring the ingredients inside or while continuing other operations.
Further, the spices are crushed and discharged by rotating the outer blade 7 and the inner blade 9 relatively in one direction, so that crushing and discharging are performed more efficiently than in the case where the both blades are reciprocated and crushed.

Further, in the spice mill 1 shown in the figure, the inner blade 9 is moved up and down along the rotating shaft 8 by the adjusting screw 42 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 8 so that the space between the inner blade 9 and the outer blade 7 is increased. By adjusting the interval, the particle size of the spice to be pulverized can be adjusted according to the type and taste of the spice.

The outer blade 7 and the inner blade 9 of the spice mill 1 are made of, for example, ceramics. As the outer blade 7 and the inner blade 9, as shown in FIG. A coarse feed blade 7a is formed on the upper inner surface, and a lower end opening edge is formed so as to have a diameter increasing in an inclined manner toward the outside, and a fine crushing blade 7b is formed on the inclined surface. The inner cutter 9 has a coarse spiral feed blade 9a formed on the upper outer peripheral surface thereof and a fine crushing blade 9b formed on the lower outer peripheral surface thereof. By attaching each crushing blade 7b of the inner blade 9 and the crushing blade 9b of the inner blade 9 in a state where the crushing portion is formed, the spice particles are transferred to the coarse feed blade 7a formed on the inner surface of the upper portion of the outer blade 7. In the locked state, on the inner blade 9 which rotates in one direction with respect to the outer blade 7, While being pulverized by the coarse spiral feed blade 9a formed on the outer peripheral surface, the two feed blades 7a, 7a are forcibly fed into the lower pulverizing portion while being pulverized, and are formed on the outer cutter 7 and the inner cutter 9. In the crushing section between the fine crushing blades 7b and 9b, it is possible to discharge efficiently in a state where the crushing is further finely performed.

Further, by holding the fixed handle 10 and the drive handle 11 with one hand as described above and repeatedly squeezing the drive handle 11, the drive handle 11 is swung at a predetermined angle, and the rotary shaft 8 is intermittently rotated in one direction so that the outer side is rotated. When the spice S is crushed and discharged by the blade 7 and the inner blade 9, the angle between the fixed handle 10 and the drive handle 11 is inevitably limited because the fixed handle 10 and the drive handle 11 are gripped with one hand. The swing angle of the handle 11, that is, the rotation angle of the rotary shaft 8 at one time cannot be made too large, and it is necessary to repeatedly grip the rotary handle 10 and the drive handle 11. At this time, if the number of teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 is small,
The interval between the position where the feed pawl 43 and the pawl spring 46 and the ratchet wheel 36 are engaged is increased, and the play at the time of engagement of the feed pawl 43 with the pawl wheel 36 causes the ratchet wheel 36 due to the swinging of the drive handle 11.
Is reduced, and the return of the rotated ratchet wheel 36 increases due to the play at the time of engagement between the pawl spring 46 and the ratchet wheel 36. As a result, the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 8 is further reduced, and the number of times the rotation shaft 8 is gripped becomes necessary accordingly. In order to reduce the play at the time of engagement between the ratchet wheel 36 and the feed pawl 43 or the pawl spring 46, the number of teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 may be increased. At times, a very large force is applied between the ratchet wheel 36 fixed to the rotating shaft 8 and the feed pawl 43. When the number of teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 is increased, the teeth are inevitably thin and the strength of the teeth is reduced.
In the case of a ratchet having a large number of teeth, wear and loss of the teeth become remarkable when the ratchet wheel is repeatedly used in a state in which the large force acts. Therefore, the number of teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 cannot be increased unnecessarily. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7A, the pair of feed claws 43a and 43b of the ratchet device 13 and the pair of claw springs 46a and 46b serving as detents are engaged with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 with their phases shifted from each other. So that one of the feed claws 43a and the pawl spring 46a are
The drive handle 11 is shifted from the state shown in FIG.
(The handle substrate 32) is rotated toward the fixed handle 10 (the handle mounting portion 21), and the ratchet wheel 3 is moved by the feed pawl 43a.
7 is rotated in one direction, the other pawl spring 46b engages with the ratchet wheel 36 even though the pawl spring 46a does not engage with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 36, as shown in FIG. The rotation of the drive handle 11 (handle substrate 32) in the reverse direction is restricted by the detent wheel 36 being detented,
The amount of return of the ratchet wheel 36 can be reduced as compared with the case where the return of the ratchet wheel 36 is restricted by one pawl spring 46a. Further, as shown in FIG. When it returns to its original position,
Even if the one feed claw 43a does not engage with the ratchet wheel 36, the other feed pawl 43b engages with the ratchet wheel 36, so that the drive handle 11 (the handle substrate 32) and the ratchet wheel 36 (the rotating shaft 8) During the play, one feed claw 43a is connected to the ratchet wheel 36.
The spices can be made smaller than in the case of intermittent rotation by engaging with the spices, and the spices can be crushed and discharged more efficiently. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the feed pawls 43 and the number of the pawl springs 46 provided with the phase shifted are two, but if the number of the feed pawls 43 provided with the phase shifted is further increased, Return of 36 and drive handle 11 (handle board 3
The play between 2) and the ratchet wheel 36 can be further reduced.

In the above embodiment, the drive handle 11
The ratchet device 13 is provided as a device for intermittently rotating the rotary shaft 8 to which the inner blade 9 is attached in one direction by the swing of the ratchet. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A rotating device can also be employed.

[0018]

As described above, the spice grinder according to the present invention can be easily operated by simply holding the fixed handle and the drive handle with one hand without stopping other work during cooking. The spices in the form of grains can be efficiently crushed on the spot as needed, and the spices can be sprinkled freshly without sacrificing the flavor of the spices.
