## Abstract

A cannabis storage assembly includes a cap assembly comprised of a cap and a base, as well as a container upon which the cap assembly is mounted. Upon proper alignment of the cap into the base and further manipulation of the cap relative to the base once inserted, the user of the cannabis storage assembly can fully secure the container's contents.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cannabis storage assembly, comprising:
a container having a wall; and
a cap assembly situated on an open end of the container, the cap assembly includes a base and a cap;
the base has a lip, the lip defines at least one notch, the at least one notch having a ledge spanning at least partially across the at least one notch; and the cap having at least one prong;
wherein, the cannabis cap assembly possesses a corresponding number of prongs to notches;
wherein, in order to bring the cap assembly to a fully secured state, the at least one prong of the cap is brought into alignment with the at least one notch of the lip, and the at least one prong is urged over the ledge of the lip.

### Claim 2

A cannabis storage assembly, comprising:
a container having a wall; and
a cap assembly situated on an open end of the container, the cap assembly includes a base and a cap;
the base has a lip, the lip defines a first notch of a first extent and a second notch of a second extent, the first extent being different than the second extent; and
the cap having a first prong of a third extent and a second prong of a fourth extent, the third extent being different than the fourth extent;
wherein, in order to bring the assembly to a fully secured state, the first prong of the cap is brought into alignment with the first notch of the lip and the second prong of the cap is brought into alignment with the second notch of the lip, and wherein the cap assembly is prevented from being brought to the fully secured state when the first prong of the cap is misaligned with the first notch of the lip and the second prong of the cap is misaligned with the second notch of the lip.

### Claim 3

A cannabis storage assembly, comprising:
a container having a wall; and
a cap assembly situated on an open end of the container, the cap assembly includes a base and a cap;
the cap has a lip, the lip defines a first notch of a first extent and a second notch of a second extent, the first extent being different than the second extent; and
the base having a first prong of a third extent and a second prong of a fourth extent, the third extent being different than the fourth extent;
wherein, in order to bring the assembly to a fully secured state, the first prong of the base is brought into alignment with the first notch of the lip and the second prong of the base is brought into alignment with the second notch of the lip, and wherein the cap assembly is prevented from being brought to the fully secured state when the first prong of the base is misaligned with the first notch of the lip and the second prong of the base is misaligned with the second notch of the lip.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the cap contains at least one surface sufficient to allow the user of the cannabis cap assembly to manipulate the spatial orientation of the cap by rotating it relative to the base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the lip has a radially-inwardly directed expanse sufficient such that the at least one prong is prevented from being urged over the lip.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one ledge has a radially-inwardly directed expanse sufficient such that the user of the cannabis cap assembly is able to urge the at least one prong over the at least one ledge.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the lip has a first radially-inwardly directed expanse and the at least one ledge has a second radially-inwardly directed expanse, the first radially-inwardly directed expanse being greater than the second radially-inwardly directed expanse.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the base contains at least one manner of immobilization which facilitates a press-fit restriction on the base such that the cannabis cap assembly's movement is prevented upon mounting of the container.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the cap contains a first set of visual indicia such that the user of the cannabis cap assembly can confirm spatial alignment of the cap relative to the base.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 9, wherein the base contains a second set of visual indicia such that the user of the cannabis cap assembly can confirm spatial alignment of the base relative to the cap.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the cannabis cap assembly possesses a single lip at the base.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the cannabis cap assembly possesses a corresponding number of notches to prongs and no additional notches.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the cannabis cap assembly possesses a corresponding number of ledges to notches.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 10, wherein the user of the cannabis cap assembly, in order to fully secure the cannabis cap assembly, first aligns the cap and the base relative to the first set of visual indicia and the second set of visual indicia.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 13, wherein the user of the cannabis cap assembly, in order to fully secure the cannabis cap assembly, must press the cap into the base once aligned such that the at least one prong is urged over the at least one ledge.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 14, wherein the user of the cannabis cap assembly, in order to fully secure the cannabis cap assembly, must rotate the cap relative to base after the at least one prong has been urged over the at least one ledge such that the at least one prong is at least partially misaligned with the at least one notch.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the surface of the at least one prong has the requisite angle such that the at least one prong can interact with the at least one ledge in a manner such that the user of the cannabis cap assembly can bring the cannabis cap assembly to a fully secured state.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the surface of the at least one ledge has the requisite angle such that the at least one ledge can interact with the at least one prong in a manner such that the user of the cannabis cap assembly can bring the cannabis cap assembly to a fully secured state.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

The cannabis storage assembly of claim 1, wherein the extent of the at least one prong is within manufacturing tolerances of the extent of the at least one notch such that the first notch may only pass through the first notch and no other notches.
