Abstract
A grinding device for containers dispensing food products, which includes means for selectively adjusting the distance between blades and teeth and thereby selecting at will the desired grain size for grinding. The device has a static piece that is coupled to the neck of the container and is connected to a rotary piece such that the fixed piece includes a series of teeth which, together with blades projecting from the bottom face of the rotary piece, constitute the grinding mechanism of the device. The device includes, on the outside of the fixed piece, two or more channels that guide the rotation and axial retention of the rotary piece, while the rotary piece contains projections for fitting into the channels of the fixed piece.

(canceled).
A grinding device for a spice dispensing container, comprising
- a static piece configured for being coupled to a neck of the spice dispensing container and having a series of teeth thereon, and
- a rotary piece connected to the static piece and having a plurality of blades projecting from a bottom face of the rotary piece,
- wherein a perimeter of the static piece has two or more circumferential channels that run around the perimeter and parallel to each other and are configured for guiding a rotation and axial retention of the rotary piece,
- wherein the rotary piece contains projections configured for fitting into the channels, and
- wherein vertical passages are defined between the channels and are configured for receiving the projections so as to allow selective vertical movement between between the rotary piece and the static piece, in order to adjust a distance between the blades and the teeth.
