DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new storage device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the cannabis storage assembly 10 generally comprises a cannabis grinder 12 that has a grinder portion 14 which releasably engages a reservoir portion 16, and the grinder portion 14 has a foraminous wall 18 and a plurality of teeth 20. The cannabis grinder 12 includes a lid portion 22 that is rotatably positionable on the grinder portion 14. Each of the grinder portion 14 and the reservoir portion 16 has an outer wall 24. The outer wall 24 of the grinder portion 14 has threads on an inside surface 26 of the outer wall 24 of the grinder portion 14. Additionally, the outer wall 24 of the reservoir portion 16 has threads on an outer surface 28 of the outer wall 24 of the reservoir portion 16. The threads on the inside surface 26 threadably engage the threads on the outer surface 28 for attaching the grinder portion 14 to the reservoir portion 16.

The grinder portion 14 has a bottom wall 30, the bottom wall 30 is foraminous, and each of the teeth 20 on the grinder portion 14 extends upwardly from the bottom wall 30. The lid portion 22 has an upper wall 32 and the upper wall 32 has a plurality of teeth 34 extending downwardly from the upper wall 32. Furthermore, the plurality of teeth 34 on the upper wall 32 is interlaced with the plurality of teeth 20 on the bottom wall 30 to grind cannabis 36 for smoking having the ground cannabis 36 falling through the bottom wall 30 into the reservoir portion 16. The upper wall 32 of the lid portion 22 has a top surface 38, the top surface 38 has a recess 40 extending into the top surface 38 and the recess 40 is coextensive with a perimeter of the upper wall 32.

A canister 42 is releasably engaged to the cannabis grinder 12 such that the canister 42 is vertically oriented on the cannabis grinder 12. The canister 42 has a tunnel 44 is integrated into the canister 42 to insertably receive a rolled cigarette 46 for storage. Each of the cannabis grinder 12 and the canister 42 has a diameter that is sufficient for positioning in a cup holder 48 in a vehicle 50. In this way the canister 42 is accessible to an occupant of the vehicle 50. The canister 42 includes a plurality of storage containers 51 that are removably integrated into the canister 42 to contain accessories for rolling cigarettes. The vehicle 50 may be a passenger vehicle, a cargo vehicle or any other motorized vehicle that is driven on public roadways.

The canister 42 comprises a disk 52, a tube 54 extending upwardly from the disk 52 and a plurality of dividers 56 radiating outwardly from the tube 54. The plurality of dividers 56 defines a plurality of spaces 58 between each of the dividers 56 and the tube 54 defines the tunnel 44 for receiving the rolled cigarette 46. The disk 52 has a lip 60 extending downwardly from a perimeter edge of the disk 52. The disk 52 rests on the top surface 38 of the upper wall 32 of the lid portion 22 of the cannabis grinder 12 and the lip 60 engages the recess 40 in the top surface 38.

Each of the storage containers 51 has a bottom wall 62 and an outer wall 64 extending upwardly from the bottom wall 62 of the storage containers 51. The outer wall 64 of the storage containers 51 has front side 66, a back side 68, a first lateral side 70 and a second lateral side 72. The front side 66 is concavely arcuate with respect to the first lateral side 70 and the second lateral side 72 such that the front side 66 conforms to the tube 54 when the storage containers 51 are positioned in the spaces 58 between the dividers 56. The back side 68 is co-arcuate with the front side 66. Each of the first lateral side 70 and the second lateral side 72 angles inwardly between the back side 68 and the front side 66 such that each of the first lateral side 70 and the second lateral side 72 abuts a respective divider 56 when the storage containers 51 are positioned in the spaces 58.

An ashtray 74 is provided and the ashtray 74 is positionable on the canister 42 such that the ashtray 74 is accessible to the occupant of the vehicle 50. The ashtray 74 has an opening 76 extending through the ashtray 74 to accommodate the tunnel 44 in the canister 42 when the ashtray 74 is positioned on the canister 42. In this way the cigarette 46 in the tunnel 44 is accessible when the ashtray 74 is positioned on the canister 42. The ashtray 74 has a lower wall 78 and a perimeter wall 79 extending upwardly from the lower wall 78. The opening 76 extends through the lower wall 78 and the opening 76 is centrally positioned on the lower wall 78. The ashtray 74 has a ring 80 which extends upwardly from the lower wall 78 and surrounds the opening 76. The lower wall 78 rests on an upper edge 81 of each of the dividers 56 when the ashtray 74 is positioned on the canister 42. Furthermore, the tube 54 is aligned with the opening 76 when the ashtray 74 is positioned on the canister 42.

A lid 82 is provided and the lid 82 is positionable on the ashtray 74 for closing the ashtray 74. The lid 82 has a hole 84 extending through the lid 82 and the hole 84 is aligned with the tunnel 44 in the canister 42 when the ashtray 74 is positioned on the canister 42. In this way the hole 84 facilitates the rolled cigarette 46 to be accessible in the tunnel 44 when the lid 82 is positioned on the ashtray 74. A rolling tray 86 is provided and the rolling tray 86 is comprised of a deformable material, including but not being limited to, silicone or rubber. In this way the rolling tray 86 can be rolled into a tube 54 for storing 70 in a respective one of the storage containers 51.

In use, the cannabis grinder 12 is employed for grinding and subsequently storing 70 the ground cannabis 36. Accessories for rolling cigarettes, such as rolling papers, for example, can be stored in any other storage containers 51. Additionally, any rolled cigarettes 46 can be inserted into the tunnel 44 for storage. In this way the rolled cigarettes 46 are easily accessible to occupants of the vehicle 50 along with the accessories for rolling cigarettes. Furthermore, the lid 82 can be removed from the ashtray 74 to facilitate the ashtray 74 to collect any ashes from smoking the rolled cigarette 46.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
