Abstract: The invention relates to a grinding mill (15) for grinding seasonings, particularly salt, with a stator (1) and a rotor (11) which is rotatably mounted and arranged concentrically with respect to said stator, wherein the stator (1) and the rotor (11) have, in at least some sections, milling projections (2) which are convexly curved in cross-section and the surfaces of which are devoid of discontinuities.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) having an opening (9) and an opening section (10), which extends in a cylinder shape, proceeding from the opening (9), which container comprises a sealing cap (3) that is removably fixed to the container (1) and seals the opening (9) when in a closed position and has a substantially cylindrical shell surface (30), which encloses the opening section (10) at least in part when in the position. Interacting latching elements (17, 34) are provided on closed position. Interacting latching elements (17, 34) are provided on an inner surface of the shell surface (30) of the sealing cap (3) and on an outer surface of the opening section (10). A peripheral protrusion (13) is provided below the latching elements (17, 34) in the opening section (10). A ring (5) is peripherally connected on the top edge (50) thereof to the shell surface (30) of the sealing cap via a tear-off skin (7). The tear-off skin (7) contacts the first protrusion (13) of the originally sealed container.

Abstract: A grinder has a jar having a surface provided with a screwthread. A grinding cap has a lower part engageable over the surface of the jar and provided with a screwthread such that the lower part can be screwed onto the jar and an upper part rotatable on the lower part. Grinding formations on the parts are effective on relative rotation of the parts. A ramp projects radially from the jar surface toward the cap surface, and a generally angularly extending and radially elastically deflectable arm has an inner end fixed on the cap surface and an outer end spaced in a relaxed condition of the arm radially outward from the cap surface toward the jar surface. The arm is oriented to engage and have its outer end deflected radially toward the cap surface by the ramp on screwing of the lower part onto the jar.
