System comprising a machine for preparing a smokable product from a portion capsule

A system for preparing a smokeable product, the system comprising:

• a) a capsule used for preparing the smokeable product, the capsule comprising:
• i) a bowl shaped body made from aluminum and having an open top and a rounded bottom creating a cavity for holding smokeable material therein, the rounded bottom having a closed, roughly cylindrical neck extending from a center of the rounded bottom, away from the open top;
• ii) a circular disc of aluminum foil coupled to the open top of the body of the capsule;
• and
• iii) smokeable material contained within the cavity of the body;
• and
• b) a machine for preparing the smokeable product, the machine comprising:
• i) a housing;
• ii) a vibration plate mounted to the housing on two springs, one spring on either side of the vibration plate;
• iii) two vibration motors, one vibration motor coupled to either side of the vibration plate;
• iv) a capsule receiving compartment disposed within the vibration plate for receiving a capsule used to prepare the smokeable product;
• v) a capsule sensor located within the capsule receiving compartment;
• vi) a support structure slidably coupled to a top surface of the housing, the support structure supporting:
• 1) a compressing screw, the compressing screw configured to puncture the disc of aluminum foil at the top of the capsule and the closed neck extending from the bottom of the capsule to permit and facilitate movement of smokeable material from the capsule and into a rolling medium positioned directly under the capsule in a rolling medium holder;
• and
• 2) a compressing screw motor electrically coupled to the compressing screw and configured to turn the compressing screw and move the compressing screw up and down;
• wherein the support structure, the compressing screw and the compressing screw motor are slidable between a forward position and a recessed position, and when in the forward position the compressing screw is positioned directly above the capsule located in the capsule receiving compartment, and when in the recessed position, the compressing screw is positioned distal the capsule receiving compartment so that the capsule receiving compartment may be accessed by a user;
• vii) the rolling medium holder pivotally coupled to a front surface of the housing, the rolling medium holder having an open top end and a closed bottom end, wherein the rolling medium holder is configured to receive and hold the rolling medium, the rolling medium holder pivotable between a closed position for receiving the rolling medium and forming a smokeable product and an open position for dispensing the smokeable product;
• viii) a rolling medium sensor located within the rolling medium holder;
• ix) a waste chamber slidably coupled to the housing, the waste chamber located below the rolling medium holder and configured to receive any waste that passes through the rolling medium holder as well as used capsules;
• x) a controller electrically coupled to the rolling medium holder, the rolling medium sensor, the support structure, the vibration plate, the two vibration motors, and the capsule sensor, wherein the controller is configured to control movement of the rolling medium holder, the support structure and the vibration plate;
• and
• xi) a controller button electrically coupled to the controller to control the machine.
