  • Publication number: 20170020342
    Abstract: A grater for grinding and cutting plant matter or medicines having a plate with a plurality of first identical shapes and a plurality of second identical shapes. The plurality of first identical shapes can be cut into the plate at a depth from 5 percent to 75 percent of the plate thickness. The plurality of second identical shapes can be positioned adjacent the first plurality of identical shapes forming a textured pattern on the plate. The plurality of second identical shapes can be sized to fit within a first inner diameter and extend through the plate, wherein a first portion of plant matter or medicine is broken down through grinding with the plurality of first identical shapes while a second portion of plant matter or medicine is cut using the plurality of second identical shapes before passing through the plurality of second identical shapes forming a ground and cut material.

  • Patent number: 9505009
    Abstract: A storage, grinder and dosage dispensing device having a top cap body, a middle section body and a bottom cup. The middle section body rotatably engages the top cap body beneath the plurality of downwardly protruding top grinding knives. The bottom cup removably attaches to the top cap body or the middle section body forming an airtight storage chamber. The storage, grinder and dosage dispensing device is configured to simultaneously grind and tear material inserted into the top cap body by the plurality of downwardly protruding top grinding knives and a plurality of grinding teeth in an upper section of the middle section body as the top cap body is rotated on the middle section body creating ground material, which is then passed through a plurality of holes to a middle section chamber.

  • Patent number: 8739386
    Abstract: A method for removably attaching portable items which are usable with each other. The method comprises the steps of removably inserting a first magnetically attractable component into a first portable item, thereby forming a first magnetically attractable item; removably inserting a second magnetically attractable component into a second portable item, thereby forming a second magnetically attractable item; allowing the first magnetically attractable item to magnetically engage the second magnetically attractable item, thereby forming a detachable magnetic assembly, wherein the detachable magnetic assembly can magnetically engage a magnetic surface, enabling the detachable magnetic assembly to be removably secured to the magnetic surface, and enabling one of the first or second portable items to be removed from the detachable magnetic assembly while maintaining the other first or second portable item in engagement with the magnetic surface.
