Abstract
This invention concerns a semi-automatic device for grinding herbs and similar products. More specifically, the model concerns an improved manual device that uses an elastic mechanical member to store and release energy, significantly reducing the physical effort required of the user during the grinding operation, while eliminating the need for continuous manual pressure.
Claims15
A semi-automatic device for grinding herbs or similar products, characterized by comprising:
- a first part provided with first grinding elements;
- a second part provided with second grinding elements, wherein the first and second parts are couplable to form a grinding chamber;
- releasable coupling means configured to maintain said first and second parts in mechanical assembly during the grinding operation;
- an elastic mechanical member configured to store elastic potential energy during rotation in a first direction and to return the stored energy by causing automatic rotation in a second direction opposite to the first;
- traction means connected to the elastic mechanical member and configured to manually actuate it;
- wherein the elastic mechanical member is mechanically connected to the first part such that rotations in said first and second directions cause relative rotation between the first and second grinding elements for grinding the material, thereby reducing the effort required by the user.
