Grinding apparatus for grinding substances, such as tobacco. In certain embodiments, grinding apparatus with a plurality of receptacles which can be selectively filled with a ground product, such as tobacco. In still other embodiments, a grinding apparatus with a cone lifting mechanism, vibration inducing mechanism and/or with a selector capability or mechanism for selecting one or more of a plurality of receptacles, or storage area(s), for delivery of a ground product.

A system and method for processing organic material, the system having four stackable housings, each housing defining a compartment, in which a first compartment of a first housing contains upper grinding teeth, and second compartment of a second housing contains lower grinding teeth, and when organic material is added to the second compartment, the upper grinding teeth and the lower grinding teeth work together to crush the organic material into smaller pieces and granules. The second housing contains holes to allow the smaller pieces and granules to fall into a third compartment of a third housing, where a filter catches the smaller pieces but allows the granules to fall to a fourth compartment of a fourth housing. The third housing has Smaller pieces trapped by the filter can be removed a sidewall opening in the third housing, and the granules can be removed through a slot in the fourth housing.

The invention involves a grinder safety cap suitable for medicinal items such as herbs or other consumable substances that may be desirably restricted from children, and which may require grinding and/or homogenizing before ingestion. The grinder safety cap is comprised of a cover shell and base shell, wherein the cover shell fits snugly over an upwardly extending top wall of the base shell. The base shell may have upwardly extending grinding protrusions, having sharp and/or serrated edges, capable of grinding, cutting, or otherwise reducing the particle size of a consumable substance. The cover shell may also have downwardly extending grinding protrusions. A consumable substance may be placed within a cavity or receptacle of the base shell, the cover shell may be placed over the top wall of the base shell so as to close the grinder safety cap, and the consumable substance may be ground by turning the cover shell.

A grinder for a plant substance includes a first grinding section having a first surface and a second grinding section having a second surface and a sidewall extending from the second surface. An edge of the sidewall of the second grinding section is configured to abut the first grinding section to form a gap that separates the first surface and the second surface from one another, and at least one of the first surface or the second surface includes bumps that extend into, but not across, the gap formed by abutment of the edge of the sidewall of the second grinding section against the first grinding section to encourage rolling friction between the plant substance and the bumps to grind the plant substance. At least a portion of one of the first grinding section or the second grinding section is composed of a silicone material.

The present invention is directed to a kief coin. The kief coin includes a pair of faces and a cylindrical shape. Each of the faces is generally smooth and free from blemishes. Further, the faces may include decorative indicia thereto. The kief coin device is useful for increasing kief yields in an herb grinder.

A container when assembled includes a body, a cover, a lower grinding component, and an upper grinding component. The body includes a primary storage area compartment, the lower grinding component includes a grinding area compartment, and the upper grinding component includes a secondary storage area compartment. The upper grinding component partially nests within the lower grinding component. The lower grinding component defines a recess comprising the grinding area compartment. The upper grinding component is inserted into and partially received within the recess of the lower grinding component to form a grinder. The lower grinding component partially nests within the body of the container and the cover fits over the upper grinding component and partially over the lower grinding component when the cover is secured to the body of the grinder, whereby the grinder is completely enclosed within the body and cover of the container.
