ABSTRACT:
A food seasoning shaker and pepper mill unit (10) for dispensing salt and the like and for dispensing pulverized peppercorn. The shaker and pepper mill unit is comprised of a food seasoning shaker (11) for dispensing food seasoning (13) and a pepper mill (15) for grinding peppercorn into a food seasoning. The shaker is mounted on the pepper mill by a coil spring (23) mounted on a central shaft (17) that connects between the shaker and the pepper mill. The shaft and coil spring also serve to hold a rotor (19), which is mounted on the shaft, in a spaced relationship with a stator (27) portion of the pepper mill. The rotor is adjustable on the shaft to enable a user of the unit to regulate the fineness or coarseness of the pulverized peppercorn leaving the pepper mill. The peppercorn are ground between the rotor and the stator by rotating the shaker relative to the pepper mill. This causes the shaft to rotate, which in turn rotates the rotor relative to the stator. To fill the unit, the shaker and the pepper mill are held in an inverted position and the pepper mill is moved axially away from the shaker. This causes the pepper mill to partially separate from the food seasoning shaker and causes the stator to move away from the rotor. The peppercorn and food seasoning can then be introduced into the respective pepper mill and the food seasoning shaker.
