Abstract
In a peppermill, which is designed as a disposable container for contained peppercorns, a cylindrical body is provided with a grooved section at one end to comprise the female element of the grinding mechanism. The grooved section includes a conical inwardly directed fact which mates with a conical surface on a male grinding element which closes one end of the cylinder. The other end of the cylinder is closed by a turning knob, which is rotatably mounted on the cylinder. A connecting rod is molded in one piece with the turning knob and is permanently connected to the male grinding element so that the peppermill cannot be refilled.
