Abstract

A compact utility device, system, and method of use for and by smokers is disclosed. The compact utility device is configured to have at least two separate compartments formed in the case, and independent doors located at an end of the case to allow access to each of the separate compartments. The system further comprises certain tools including a removable grinder card, a “one-hitter” smoking tool, and a poker to clear the “one-hitter.” A separate full length door or opening is also included over the grinder card screen section to allow access to the grinder card, and when the grinder card is removed, access to the compartment holding the cleaned and ground tobacco. Further, the system may include separate, removable sub-compartments, for use to hold cleaned and ground tobacco or concentrates. The utility case may be manufactured from various thermoplastic materials including polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride.

Claims

What I claim as my invention is: 
     
         1 . A smoker's utility system, comprising:
 a case having at least two compartments formed within said case;   each of said at least two compartments having at least one openable door located at one end of each said at least two compartments;   at least one of said at least two compartments having an openable full length lid formed as a partial top to said case;   at least one sub-compartment formed within one of said at least two compartments;   at least one separate, removable container sized to fit within said at least one sub-compartment;   a grinder card section positioned within said case and said grinder card section covering one of said at least two compartments;   a one-hitter smoking device that fits into one of said at least two compartments; and   a poker tool that fits into one of said at least two compartments and may be used to clean an air passage in said one-hitter smoking device.   
     
     
         2 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said grinder screen is integrally formed as part of said case. 
     
     
         3 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , further comprising a card-type slot formed along at least two edges of said case, and wherein said grinder card is removable by sliding said grinder card within said card-type slot. 
     
     
         4 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said case is manufactured from a thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         5 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said case is manufactured from a heat resistant thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         6 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said case is manufactured from metal. 
     
     
         7 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 3 , wherein said removable grinder card is manufactured from metal. 
     
     
         8 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one separate, removable container is used to store tobacco. 
     
     
         9 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one separate, removable container is made of silicone. 
     
     
         10 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one separate, removable container is made of a thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         11 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 3 , further comprising flexible wiper pads positioned above and below said card-type slot to dislodge tobacco from said removable grinder card as said grinder card is slid out of said case. 
     
     
         12 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein one of at least two compartments formed within said case has a length dimension that is shorter than a length of said one-hitter smoking device. 
     
     
         13 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , wherein one of at least two compartments formed within said case has a length dimension that is shorter than a length of said one-hitter smoking device, and further wherein said length dimension is adjustable. 
     
     
         14 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 13 , wherein said length dimension is adjusted by repositioning a wall into one of a plurality of slot sets formed within said case. 
     
     
         15 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 13 , wherein said length dimension is proportionally adjusted by moving a lever connected to a moveable wall. 
     
     
         16 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , further comprising on at least one of said at least one openable door and said openable full length lid a flexible lip that fits into an opposing opening within said case to maintain said doors and lid in a closed position. 
     
     
         17 . The smoker's utility system of  claim 1 , further comprising magnets to provide a retaining force to each said door and lid to maintain said door and lid in a closed position, and to provide a pulling force to said one-hitter smoking device and poker tool when said door of said compartment housing said one-hitter smoking device and poker tool is opened to partially remove said one-hitter smoking device and said poker tool.
