Abstract:
1. A device for grinding organic material, the device comprising: a first grinding disk having a central opening; a second grinding disk disposed adjacent to and against the first grinding disk; a substantially cone shaped member disposed within the central opening of the first grinding disk, the cone shaped member having a base edge which engages a nip opening between the first grinding disk and the second grinding disk; a motor apparatus operatively engaging and rotating the cone shaped member and at least one of the first grinding disk and the second grinding disk; and a feed tube in communication with the central opening in the first grinding disk wherein the organic material fed through the feed tube is moved along a lateral surface of the cone shaped member and between the first grinding disk and the second grinding disk and wherein the feed tube is a telescoping feed tube which includes an outer feed tube and an inner feed tube, the outer feed tube being in communication with an input conduit and the inner feed tube having a lateral opening which is aligned with the input conduit to allow material to be fed into the device when the inner feed tube is substantially retracted within the outer feed tube and wherein the input conduit does not communicate with the inner feed tube and material cannot be fed to the device through the input conduit when the inner feed tube extends outwardly of the outer feed tube.
