Claims18
An herb grinder, comprising:
- a) a cutting section, comprising:
- a cutting chamber, such that an herb material is insertable in the cutting chamber;
- and
- an herb cutter, which is configured to cut the herb material in the cutting chamber into herb cuttings;
- and
- b) a main body, which is positioned below the cutting section, wherein the main body comprises:
- a center interior;
- an exit canal;
- an exit aperture, which is positioned on an exterior of the main body;
- and
- a plurality of traversal ridges, which are mounted on a floor of the center interior, such that the traversal ridges are perpendicular to a direction from the center interior to an entry aperture of the exit canal;
- such that the traversal ridges slow a flow of the herb cuttings, whereby the traversal ridges prevent clogging of the herb cuttings at the entry aperture of the exit canal;
- such that the exit canal connects the center interior with the exit aperture;
- and
- such that the herb cuttings fall from the cutting chamber into the center interior, such that the herb cuttings pass through the exit canal and exit via the exit aperture;
- c) a window, which is mounted on a side of the main body of the herb grinder, such that the window provides visibility to the center interior;
- d) a light source, which is mounted inside the center interior, such that the light source is configured to illuminate the center interior, such that the center interior is visible through the window;
- e) a dispensing vibrator, which is mounted under the center interior, such that the dispensing vibrator is configured to produce a dispensing vibration of the herb grinder, such that the dispensing vibration aids a flow of herb cuttings from the cutting chamber;
- and
- f) a vibration button, such that pressing the vibration button starts the dispensing vibration of the dispensing vibrator;
- wherein the light source is configured to switch on when the vibration button is pressed.

- an exit aperture, which is positioned on an exterior of the main body;
- and
- a flow blocker, which is mounted on a floor of the center interior, such that the flow blocker is positioned around an inner side of an entry aperture of the exit canal, which is positioned adjacent to a peripheral wall of the center interior,
- such that the flow blocker serves to direct a flow of the herb cuttings around first and second sides of the flow blocker, whereby the flow blocker prevents clogging of the herb cuttings at the exit aperture;
- such that the exit canal connects the center interior with the exit aperture;
- and
- such that the herb cuttings fall from the cutting chamber into the center interior, such that the herb cuttings pass through the exit canal and exit via the exit aperture;
- c) a window, which is mounted on a side of the main body of the herb grinder, such that the window provides visibility to the center interior;

- e) a dispensing vibrator, which is mounted under the center interior, such that the dispensing vibrator is configured to produce a dispensing vibration of the herb grinder, such that the dispensing vibration aids a flow of herb cuttings from the cutting chamber;
- and
- f) a vibration button, such that pressing the vibration button starts the dispensing vibration of the dispensing vibrator;
- wherein the light source is configured to switch on when the vibration button is pressed.
