This invention relates generally to the field of combination container and dispensing devices and more specifically to a container having a shredder mechanism built into the cap of the container.
The primary object of the invention is to provide combination shredder and container where a user can remove an air tight lid and dispense shredded cannabis product through a plurality of apertures in the cap by turning the outer portion of the cap.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a combination shredder and container for cannabis including an open topped container having a male threaded aperture and a child proof tab, a cap assembly including a top lid, a lid gasket, an outer ring having an upper integral cover plate, the cover plate having a plurality of apertures, the underside of the cover plate having downwardly facing pyramid shredding members, a secondary gasket, a cylindrically shaped inner cap, the inner cap including female threads that can engage the male threads of the container, the inner cap including a cover plate having plurality of upwardly directed pyramid shaped shredding members that are in close proximity to the pyramid shaped shredding members of the outer ring cover plate, the inner cap assembly including downwardly faced tabs that can engage indentations in the perimeter of the container causing the inner cap to remain stationary while the outer cap can be rotated by a user causing the upper and lower shredding pyramid members to pass by each other in close proximity creating a shredding action to the cannabis within the container which then can exit the apertures in the outer cap cover plate.
The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments to the instant invention, which may be embodied in various forms. It is to be understood that in some instances various aspects of the instant embodiments may be shown exaggerated or enlarged to facilitate an understanding of the instant embodiment.
Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.
Referring now to
In the preferred embodiment, the container 4 is blow molded from an opaque blow molded plastic, and the cap assembly 2 is injection molded from polycarbonate plastic.
While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention to the particular form set forth, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
In the claims, the word ‘comprising’ does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps then those listed in a claim. Furthermore, the terms “a” or “an,” as used herein, are defined as “one, or more than one.” Also, the use of introductory phrases such as “at least one” and “one or more” in the claims should not be construed to imply that the introduction of another claim element by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim element to inventions containing only one such element, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an.” The same holds true for the use of definite articles.
