The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said cassette is suitable for use with all types of condiment mills or apparatus for breaking up foodstuffs, whether mechanical or electric, by virtue of a ferrule 6.
The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the operating ring 3 drives the dish-holder slide 2 by means of an internal screw thread 3a present on the operating ring 3 corresponding to an external screw thread 2c on the dish-holder slide.
The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said device is attached to the body of the mill via the fixing disk 1.
The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the operating ring 3 has a movable stop 4 with an indexing finger 4a.
The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the fixing disk 1 has a bridge for connection to the operating shaft of the grinding block.
The universal adjustment device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the connection between the fixing disk 1 and the dish-holder slide 2 is achieved by means of two bosses 2f on the dish-holder slide which are inserted in two housings 1a of the fixing disk 1.
