Abstract
A container stores, grinds, and measure material. The container includes upper and lower grinding sections that are mated together and rotated to grind the material. A collection section is below the lower grinding section and includes a mesh screen to filter particulate. The mesh screen also functions as a scale to weigh the contents in the collection section. An electronic housing includes a display, microcontroller, one or more buttons, a communications device, and a power supply. Below the electronics housing is a container section retained by a container holder that also includes a scale. The container is enabled to communicate with an external computing device through an application to send and receive data and commands.
Claims19
A container, comprising:
- an upper grinding section, a lower grinding section, a collection section, an electronics housing, a storage container section, and a container holder;
- the upper and lower grinding sections are mated together and are configured to grind and pulverize a target material;
- the collection section is disposed beneath the lower grinding section and collects material falling through holes in the lower grinding section;
- the electronics housing includes a display, microcontroller, and a power source;
- and
- the storage container section is disposed beneath the electronics housing and is retained by the container holder.
A container, comprising:
- a cap, an upper grinding section, a lower grinding section, a collection section, an electronics housing, a storage container section, a container holder, and a base each substantially coaxially aligned with one another;
- the upper and lower grinding sections are mated together and are configured to grind and pulverize a target material;
- the cap attached to the upper grinding section to facilitate rotation of the upper grinding section with respect to the lower grinding section;
- the collection section is disposed beneath the lower grinding section and collects material falling through holes in the lower grinding section;
- the collection section including a housing having a mesh screen forming a bottom partition;
- a secondary collection section disposed beneath the screen and configured to collect particulate falling through the mesh screen;
- the electronics housing includes a display, microcontroller, a power source, and a communications device, the communications device connected to the microcontroller and operable to send and receive data to and from an external computing device;
- and
- the storage container section is disposed beneath the electronics housing and is retained by the container holder, wherein the container holder comprises an electronic scale to measure a weight of contents in the storage container, the electronic scale in communication with the microcontroller and the display to measure and out the weight.
