Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is an herb storage container, which is an airtight herb storage container that has a method of collecting fine resin gland particles in a connected compartment. This device can be used to store herbs in order to keep them fresh, it allows the user to collect strain specific fine resin gland particles in a connected compartment and accomplishes this through the floor of the main chamber being made of a mesh screen. The core components of the invention are a lid, a silicone humidity pack holder that is fitted up in the inner part of the lid also functions as an airtight seal mechanism, a second modified lid with the center portion removed and threads on the lining of the removed center portion that allows the attachment of a handheld herb grinder, a dually open ended plastic, glass or aluminum jar with threads on both ends, an adapter that holds a removable screen, a removable screen, a part that unscrews from the adapter to allow removal and replacement of the mesh screen, a section that has a closed floor that collects the fine resin gland particles and a second smaller glass, plastic or aluminum jar that stores ground herbs, which, generally speaking, are configured as follows: lid, silicone humidity pack holder, glass, plastic or aluminum jar, jar adapter, mesh screen, mesh screen holder, fine resin gland particle storage compartment and lastly at the very bottom is the glass, plastic or aluminum ground herb storage jar. With respect to the device it should be further noted that because of a unique feature of having the second modified lid the user can now screw a handheld grinder with matching threads into the lid of the jar and grind directly into the storage container which can then be agitated to sift the fine resin gland particles into the compartment below. With respect to the associated method, in order to carry out the method the following core steps are followed: step one is to remove the lid by unscrewing it from the jar and replacing it with the second modified lid, step two is to attach the handheld grinder to the lid by screwing it into the threads on the open missing center portion of the modified lid, step three is to use the hand held grinder to grind the herb from a nug form into a ground form, step four is to remove the grinder from the top of the modified lid by unscrewing it and then removing the modified lid from the jar and replacing it with the first lid, the fifth step is to then agitate the storage container so that the fine resin gland particles can be sifted into the next compartment of the container, the sixth step is to remove the lid and to remove the ground herb storage jar from the very bottom of the container and then dump the ground herb into the ground herb storage jar and then screw the ground herb storage jar back onto the bottom side of the fine resin gland particle storage compartment and screw the lid back onto the top of the storage container. Also, with respect to the device it should be further noted that because of a unique feature of having a jar that has a mesh screen bottom with another compartment underneath, the user can take unground herbs and store them in the storage container and agitate the entire container so that the fine resin gland particles can detach and fall through the mesh screen into the next compartment below. With respect to the associated method, in order to carry out the method the following core steps are followed: step one is to remove the lid, step two is to place the unground herbs into the jar, step three is to place the lid back on the jar by screwing it back onto the jar, step four is to agitate the storage container so that the fine resin gland particles can sift through the mesh screen into the compartment down below. Ultimately, at the conclusion of the two series of steps described above, one has now stored their herbs in a airtight environment, they have a method of grinding herbs directly into the jar so that they can collect strain specific fine resin gland particles and keep them both organized and categorized and one can take their airtight stored unground herbs and collect the fine resin gland particles in the compartment below the mesh screen.
