Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for pen that distributes viscous plant material, such as rosin, from a cartridge. The pen receives, from a button, input corresponding to a first control instruction. The pen has a motor configured to receive the first control instruction from the controller and, in response, drive a spindle that linearly displaces a plunger, wherein the linear displacement of the plunger causes plant material to be pushed out of a nozzle of the pen. The pen cartridge includes a rubber plug configured to be linearly displaced by the plunger to cause rosin to be disturbed from the cartridge.
Claims18
A method of distributing plant material from a pen comprising:
- (a) displaying, on a display of the pen, information corresponding to a number of button clicks required to engage a heater;
- (b) receiving by a controller, via a button of the pen, the number of button clicks required to engage the heater;
- (c) in response to step (b), the controller engaging the heater to heat the plant material;
- (d) after step (c), displaying, on the display of the pen, information indicating that heating is complete;
- (e) receiving by the controller, via the button of the pen, a number of button clicks required to cause the plant material to be distributed, wherein the number of button clicks required to cause the plant material to be distributed is at least two;
- (f) in response to step (e), the controller driving a spindle with a motor to linearly displace a plunger, wherein the linear displacement of the plunger causes the plant material to be pushed out of a nozzle of the pen.
A pen including a display, a button, a controller, a heater, a motorized spindle, and a nozzle and configured to distribute stored plant material, wherein the controller is configured to:
- (a) cause to be displayed, on the display, information corresponding to a number of button clicks required to engage the heater;
- (b) receive, via the button, the number of button clicks required to engage the heater;
- (c) in response to receiving the number of button clicks required to engage the heater, engage the heater to heat the plant material;
- (d) cause to be displayed, on the display, information indicating that heating is complete;
- (e) receive, via the button, a number of button clicks required to cause the plant material to be distributed, wherein the number of button clicks required to cause the plant material to be distributed is at least two;
- (f) in response to receiving the number of button clicks required to cause the plant material to be distributed, cause the motorized spindle to linearly displace a plunger, wherein the linear displacement of the plunger causes the plant material to be pushed out of the nozzle.
