Benefits of technology

[0009]Preferred containers also advantageously include an insert that is sized and dimensioned to be placed inside the lumen, wherein the insert comprises a high thermal-conductive material. It is especially preferred that the insert comprises a core portion comprising high thermal-conductive material, and a surrounding portion comprising a low thermal-co

Problems solved by technology

It is becoming common for users to not smoke an entire joint in one sitting due to the cost per joint and the potency of the marijuana sold.
Unfortunately, this results in a portion of the container's inner wall to melt and chemicals to permeate into the

Embodiment Construction

[0021]The following discussion provides many example embodiments of the inventive subject matter. Although each embodiment represents a single combination of inventive elements, the inventive subject matter is considered to include all possible combinations of the disclosed elements. Thus if one embodiment comprises elements A, B, and C, and a second embodiment comprises elements B and D, then the inventive subject matter is also considered to include other remaining combinations of A, B, C, or D, even if not explicitly disclosed.

[0022]In some embodiments, the numbers expressing quantities of properties such as dimensions used to describe and claim certain embodiments of the invention are to be understood as being modified in some instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular ...

Abstract

A container for storing a used cigarette includes an insert comprising a high thermal-conductive material, sized and dimensioned to be placed at the inside bottom of the container. The insert preferably includes one or more surface features that assist in extinguishing the burning end of the cigarette.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 62 / 415,249, filed Oct. 31, 2016.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The field of the invention is containers for safe storage of used (e.g., partially smoked) cigars, cigarettes, or marijuana joints.BACKGROUND[0003]Many states have legalized marijuana for medical uses, and growing number of states are legalizing marijuana for recreational uses as well. While it is expected that the number of recreational marijuana users increases, pricing for recreational marijuana is expected to remain high. It is becoming common for users to not smoke an entire joint in one sitting due to the cost per joint and the potency of the marijuana sold. Thus, such users attempt to save the remainder of the joint by inserting the used joint back into its container, often while still lit and before the lit end has cooled. Unfortunately, this results in a portion of the container's inner wall to melt and chemicals to permeate i...
