  • Patent number: 11589710
    Abstract: The present invention involves a device and system for grinding herbs, tobacco, leaves and the like. The herb grinder system herein includes a snap together configuration. The lid is provided with magnets positioned around an upper shoulder. These magnets cooperate with secondary magnets positioned around the upper perimeter of the body to hold the lid in place for use, and when not being used for grinding. The bottom portion of the body is provided with a second storage pilot that includes a cup seal. The cup seal is constructed to allow the storage container to be slipped over the pilot and retained in position by friction provided by the cup seal, even when filled with tobacco or the like from the grinder. Removal of the storage container simply requires the user to pull the storage container away from the body.
