20140175202 | ELECTRIC SEASONING MILL - An electric seasoning mill includes a grinding mechanism that is driven by a driving mechanism to grind seasonings, and a control unit that includes a control seat, a control element disposed in and movable relative to the control seat, and a resilient element disposed for biasing the control seat away from the driving mechanism. When the control seat is pressed toward the driving mechanism, the electric seasoning mill is operable from a power-off state, where the control element is away from the driving mechanism, to a power-on state, where the electric seasoning mill is convertible between activating and deactivating positions for controlling contact between the control element and the driving mechanism. | 06-26-2014 |
20110162538 | PEPPER MILL - A pepper mill includes a driving member coupled rotatably to a container body and cooperating with the container body to define a receiving space, a grinding unit, a planetary gear mechanism, and an adjusting component. The grinding unit includes a coupling shaft extending rotatably and being movable in the receiving space, a stationary first grinding seat, and a second grinding seat co-rotatable with the coupling shaft. The size of a grinding space between the first and second grinding seats is adjusted when the coupling shaft and the second grinding seat move axially relative to the first grinding seat. The planetary gear mechanism includes a driving gear unit and a driven gear unit driven rotatably by the driving gear unit to drive rotation of the coupling shaft. The adjusting component is connected threadedly to the coupling shaft and is operable to drive the axial movement of the coupling shaft and the second grinding seat. | 07-07-2011 |
20100200685 | PEPPER MILL - A pepper mill includes a receiving unit, a grinding unit, a coupling unit and a closure unit . The receiving unit includes a container body defining a receiving space for receiving peppercorns, and a driving member disposed movably in the receiving space. The coupling unit is disposed in the receiving space and is driven rotatably by the driving member. The grinding unit is disposed in the receiving space and is coupled co-rotatably to the coupling unit for grinding the peppercorns to result in ground pepper. The closure unit includes a closure member movable relative to the grinding unit between a closed position so as to block discharge of the ground pepper through a discharge end of the container body, and an opened position so as to permit discharge of the ground pepper through the discharge end. | 08-12-2010 |
20090121063 | PEPPER MILL - A pepper mill includes a receiving unit defining a receiving space, a grinding unit disposed at one end of the receiving space, and a stop unit dividing the receiving space into first and second space portions that are respectively distal from and proximate to the grinding unit. The stop unit is formed with a passage to permit peppercorns in the first space portion to fall into the grinding unit so as to be ground thereby through the second space portion when the pepper mill is disposed at a dispensing position, and is configured to stop a portion of residual ground pepper in the second space portion from reaching the first space portion via the passage when the pepper mill is disposed at a non-dispensing position. | 05-14-2009 |
