Abstract

A smoking accessory assembly facilitates storing and transporting accessories for grinding smoking matter and rolling the smoking matter for smoking. The assembly includes a housing having a plurality of compartments. A grinder has a plurality of grinder teeth and a peripheral wall enclosing the grinder teeth. A plurality of cap teeth is coupled to and extends from a top cap. The grinder is insertable into the top cap for grinding plant matter. A funnel tapers away to a tube section extending from a base of the funnel. Openings extend through the grinder for passing ground plant matter through the funnel and into the tube section. The tube section is open for passing the ground plant matter into a rolling paper wrapped around the tube section.

4. The assembly of claim 3 , further comprising said head being cylindrical having a flat surface perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said shaft.

5. The assembly of claim 4 , further comprising a tail coupled to said shaft opposite said head, said tail having a rounded end facing away from said shaft.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second guide line extending around said tube section, said second guide line being positioned between said first guide line and said second end of said grinder.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , further comprising said second guide line being positioned closer to said first guide line than said second end of said grinder.

8. The assembly of claim 6 , further comprising said second guide line being spaced a distance between 0.5 and 1.5 centimeters from said first guide line.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a channel extending through said top cap wherein said top cap is configured for being coupled to an extrinsic object by a tether.

10. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising said channel being fully enclosed by said top wall of said top cap.

11. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

said plurality of compartments including a plant matter storage compartment extending into the bottom of said housing; and

a bottom cap, said bottom cap being selectively couplable to said bottom of said housing wherein said bottom cap encloses said plant matter storage compartment.

12. The assembly of claim 11 , further comprising a bottom seal positioned between said bottom cap and said housing wherein said plant matter storage compartment is sealed when said bottom cap is coupled to said housing.

13. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising said plurality of compartments including a paper storage compartment extending into said top of said housing.

14. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising said plurality of compartments including a filter storage compartment extending into said top of said housing.

15. A smoking accessory assembly comprising:

a housing having a plurality of compartments, said housing having a top and a bottom, said plurality of compartments including a paper storage compartment extending into said top of said housing, said plurality of compartments including a filter storage compartment extending into said top of said housing, said housing including a grinder storage compartment, said plurality of compartments including a plant matter storage compartment extending into the bottom of said housing;

a grinder having a first end, a plurality of grinder teeth coupled to and extending from said first end of said grinder, a peripheral wall coupled to said grinder, said peripheral wall extending around said first end enclosing said grinder teeth, said grinder being positionable in said grinder storage compartment, said grinder including a funnel tapering away from said first end and a tube section extending from a base of said funnel, said tube section being transparent;

a top cap couplable to said housing such that said top cap covers said top of said housing, said top cap having a top wall and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending from said top wall surrounding a bottom surface of said top wall;
