  • Patent number: 9044120
    Abstract: A spice grinder is revealed. The spice grinder includes a base connected to a bottom of a container body, an inner grinding member, and an outer grinding member arranged between the container body and the base. The inner grinding member includes a plurality of grinding blades. Each grinding blade has an insertion hole on a center thereof. A rod of a fixing shaft is inserted through the insertion hole of each grinding blade. Thus a first fixing block on one end of the fixing shaft and a second fixing block on other end thereof are against a top and a bottom of the inner grinding member respectively. While in use, the container body and the base are rotated to drive the inner and the outer grinding members. Thus granular spices are ground gradually by the grinding blades.
