  • Patent number: 4037797
    Abstract: A grinding mill arranged in a housing having a stone grinding wheel turned by a power source such that a face thereof moves over a fixed grinding stone. Grain deposited between faces thereof is ground into meal or flour and falls into a receptacle preferably in the housing that can be removed therefrom. The invention provides a feed arrangement for passing whole grain from a trough, through an opening in the fixed grinding stone to a location between the faces.Adjustment of spacing between the faces of the stone grinding wheel and fixed grinding stone is provided by the inclusion of a manually turnable shaft arrangement that attaches to a threaded sleeve fixed to the electric motor. The turning of the shaft draws the electric motor toward or urges it away from a fixed point to shift the electric motor within the housing, so as to vary, as desired, the spacing between the faces.
