Abstract
A cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder has a lid section having grinding surface features. A bottom section is connected to the lid section and has grinding surface features and a blade. A passageway penetrates the entire cutter and grinder and is aligned with both sections such that the sections can be rotated around the passageway without obstructing it. The lid section and bottom section combine to form an interior cavity within the cutter and grinder, for grinding a smokable substance.
Claims13
A cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder, comprising:
- a lid section comprising grinding surface features;
- a bottom section connected to the lid section, comprising:
- grinding surface features;
- a blade;
- and
- an alignment mechanism on both the lid section and the bottom section for interfacing with one another to align the sections together in a constant axial spatial relationship;
- wherein the lid section comprises a side wall and a ceiling which anchors the grinding surface features of the lid section and the ceiling faces the grinding surface features of the bottom section;
- wherein the alignment mechanism comprises a cylinder on the lid section and a cylinder on the bottom section;
- wherein the cylinders of both sections are configured so that each cylinder is sized to receive the other cylinder and permit rotation when the cylinders attach to one another, while the attached cylinders prevents displacement of the two sections in a direction radial to an axis of the cylinders;
- and
- an opening on the lid section and the bottom section that leads to a passageway penetrating the cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder centrally through an axis of the cylinders of both sections.

A cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder, comprising:
- a lid section comprising spikes;
- a bottom section connected to the lid section, comprising:
- spikes;
- a blade;
- and
- an alignment mechanism on both the lid section and the bottom section for interfacing with one another to align the sections together in a constant coaxial spatial relationship, the alignment mechanism comprising a cylinder on the lid section and a cylinder on the bottom section, wherein each cylinder is configured so that each cylinder is sized to receive the other cylinder and permit rotation when the cylinders attach to one another, while the attached cylinders prevent displacement of the two sections in a direction radial to an axis of the cylinders;
- a passageway penetrating the cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder centrally through both sections such that the sections can be rotated around the passageway without obstructing the passageway;
- wherein the lid section comprises a side wall and a ceiling which anchors spikes of the lid section and the ceiling faces the spikes of the bottom section;
- wherein the lid section and bottom section combine to form an interior cavity within the cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder, for grinding a smokable substance;
- the cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder comprises an opening on the lid section and bottom section that leads to a passageway penetrating the cigar cutter and smokable substance grinder directly through an axis of the cylinders of both sections;
- wherein a slot is disposed in an interior member of the bottom section, the slot is configured to hold the blade in a fixed position, and wherein the blade is inside the slot and a cutting edge of the blade extends into an interior of the passageway;
- wherein the blade comprises:
- a surface containing the cutting edge disposed inside the slot in the interior member of the bottom section;
- and
- a surface turned at an angle to the surface containing the cutting edge;
- wherein the surface turned at an angle abuts the cylinder and prevents the blade from extending into the passageway beyond a predetermined point.
