Patent 9510709 was granted and assigned to McCormick & Company on December, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An herb chopper includes a bottle, an upper chopper, a lower chopper, an agitator, and a dust cap. The bottle can hold a herb to be ground. The upper chopper is positioned inside of and opposite to the lower chopper and can rotate with respect to the lower chopper. The bottle is positioned on the upper chopper partially inside of the lower chopper. The bottle is rotated relative to the lower chopper causing the herb leaves to be chopped by the upper and lower choppers and dispensed out of the chopper through dispensing holes formed in the lower chopper.
