  • Patent number: 6550706
    Abstract: A pepper grinder has a grinding assembly including an inner grinding member and an outer grinding member turnable relative to each other to grind pepper in between. The outer grinding member is secured in a lower housing member by means of a lower securing ring connected to the outer grinding member; the securing ring has saw teeth projecting from an upper edge, and is pressed into the lower housing for the pointed ends of the saw teeth to be inserted into the inner side of the lower housing such that the outer grinding member can't turn relative to the lower housing. The inner grinding member is also secured to an upper housing by a securing ring of the kind. Thus, the inner grinding member can turn relative to the outer one when the upper housing is turned relative to the lower housing.
