DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Some implementations described herein provide a rolling tray for rolling smokeable items. The rolling tray may include a tray portion, a set of container compartments, and a lid portion. The lid portion is configured to sealingly engage with the tray portion to prevent the spilling of smokeable ingredients associated with smokeable items, and seal in an aroma associated with the smokeable ingredients.

In this way, some implementations herein provide an improved rolling tray that includes compartments into which smokeable ingredients and/or other items may be stored, and that includes a sealable lid that confines and/or mitigates the aroma associated with smokeable ingredients.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rolling tray 100 may include a sealable lid 101, and a tray portion 102. The rolling tray 100 may be configured to permit assembly of a smokeable item. For example, a user may utilize the rolling tray 100 to assemble a smokeable item, such as a cigar, cigarette, and/or the like.

The tray portion 102 may include a component of the rolling tray 100 that is configured to permit the assembly of smokeable items, and/or that is configured to permit the storage of smokeable items, assembled smokeable items, and/or other items. The tray portion 102 may be comprised of any suitable material, such as a plastic, aluminum, titanium, steel, graphite, and/or the like. Further, the tray portion 102 may include any suitable shape, such as a rectangular shape, a square shape, an oval shape, a circular shape, a geometric shape, and/or the like. Further still, the tray portion 102 may include any suitable dimensions to permit the assembly of smokeable items.

The sealable lid 101 may include a component that is configured to sealably attach to the tray portion 102. For example, the sealable lid 101 may be separably attached to the tray portion 102, and may seal the tray portion 102 based on being attached to the tray portion 102. The sealable lid 101 may be comprised of any suitable material that permits the sealable lid 101 to sealingly engage with the tray portion 102. In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 may be comprised of a same material as the tray portion 102. Alternatively, the sealable lid 101 may be comprised of a different material than as compared to the tray portion 102. The sealable lid 101 may include any suitable dimensions to permit the sealable lid 101 to sealingly engage with the tray portion 102.

Although FIG. 1 depicts a single sealable lid 101, other embodiments include additional sealable lids 101. For example, the rolling tray 100 may include two sealable lids 101, three sealable lids 101, etc. In some implementations, different sealable lids 101 of the rolling tray 100 may include substantially similar dimensions. For example, a first sealable lid 101 may cover substantially a first half of the tray portion 102, and a second sealable lid 101 may cover substantially a second half of the tray portion 102. Alternatively, different sealable lids 101 may cover different amounts of the tray portion 102, respectively (e.g., 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and/or the like). Additionally, different sealable lids 101 may be configured to sealingly cover different compartments of the rolling tray 100.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tray portion 102 may include a recessed portion. In other words, a bottom surface of the tray portion 102 may include a recess. Alternatively, the tray portion 102 may include a planar bottom surface that does not form a recess. It should be understood that myriad types of bottom surfaces are applicable to embodiments herein.

The tray portion 102 may include a component, disposed on a bottom surface of the tray portion 102, that permits a lighter to be removably attached to the tray portion 102. For example, the tray portion 102 may include a set of substantially L-shaped portions that extend from a bottom surface of the tray portion 102, and that collectively permit a lighter to be attached to the tray portion 102.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tray portion 102 may include a set of compartments. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the tray portion 102 may include a first side compartment 103, a main compartment 104, and a second side compartment 105.

In some implementations, the tray portion 102 may include any number of compartments. Additionally, different compartments of the tray portion 102 may include different dimensions and/or different shapes. For example, the first side compartment 103, the main compartment 104, and/or the second side compartment 105 may include rectangular compartments, square compartments, circular compartments, oval compartments, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the compartments of the tray portion 102 may be configured to hold and/or store various items, such as smokeable ingredients, rolling paper, assembled smokeable items, vaporizer devices, cartridges for vaporizer devices, ash, edible items, and/or the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tray portion 102 may include a top surface, a bottom surface, and a set of side surfaces. The top surface may form a peripheral edge that extends from the side surfaces. In other words, the top surface may be larger than the bottom surface in some implementations. Alternatively, the top surface and the bottom surface may include substantially similar areas. In this case, the side surfaces may extend vertically from the top surface to the bottom surface, and the tray portion 102 might not include a substantial peripheral edge surface.

The sealable lid 101 may connect to the top surface of the tray portion 102. In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 may connect to the tray portion 102 via a press-fit, an interference fit, a friction fit, and/or the like. Additionally, or alternatively, the sealable lid 101 may connect to the tray portion 102 via a connection mechanism. For example, the sealable lid 101 may connect to the tray portion 102 via a set of protrusions, a set of clamps, a set of buttons, and/or the like.

In some implementations, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sealable lid 101 is completely separable from the tray portion 102. Alternatively, the sealable lid 101 may be semi-affixed to the tray portion 102, and configured to be displaceable with respect to the tray portion 102. For example, the sealable lid 101 may be connected to the tray portion 102 via a set of hinges, via a sliding mechanism, via a telescoping mechanism, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 may include a component to permit the sealable lid 101 to seal the tray portion 102. For example, the sealable lid 101 may include a silicone liner to permit the sealable lid 101 to sealingly engage the tray portion 102. In other implementations, the sealable lid 101 may include a tolerance such that the sealable lid 101 forms an effective seal when attached to the tray portion 102.

In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 is configured to sealingly engage with the tray portion 102 to substantially prevent the dispersion of aroma associated with smokeable ingredients. In other words, the sealable lid 101 might prevent a substantial aroma of the smokeable ingredients from dispersing in a vicinity of the rolling tray 100. In this way, some implementations herein permit discrete storage of smokeable ingredients and/or assembled smokeable items.

The foregoing disclosure provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the implementations to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above disclosure or may be acquired from practice of the implementations.

Even though particular combinations of features are disclosed in the specification, these combinations are not intended to limit the disclosure of possible implementations. In fact, many of these features may be combined in ways not specifically disclosed in the specification.

No element or feature used herein should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items, and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Furthermore, as used herein, the term “set” is intended to include one or more items (e.g., related items, unrelated items, a combination of related and unrelated items, etc.), and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the term “one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms. Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise.
