Smoking Material Container System

Abstract

A smoking material container system has a housing which has an interior container which is slidably positionable into a surrounding sleeve. A folding funnel can be used to place smoking material into rolled cigarette papers. A grating component may also be included to allow the user to grate course smoking material into grated particles which are easier to position within the cigarette papers.

 said folding funnel having a stowed configuration wherein both said first planar side and said second planar side are aligned; 
 said folding funnel having a folded configuration wherein said first planar side and said second planar side both angle toward the folding connection; and 
 said folding funnel in said folded configuration defining a ramp for sliding smoking material positioned thereon toward said first end of said folding funnel and into an axial cavity surrounded by a rolled cigarette paper. 
 
     
     
         3 . The smoking material container system of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 said folding funnel tapering from first width at said first end thereof to a second width at a second end thereof; and 
 said second end of said folding funnel sized for positioning through an opening at a first end of said rolled cigarette paper and into said axial cavity. 
 
     
     
         4 . The smoking material container system of  claim 3  additionally comprising:
 at least one said rolled cigarette paper removably positioned within said internal cavity; and 
 said rolled cigarette paper tapering from a first diameter at said first end thereof, to a second diameter smaller than said first diameter at a second end thereof. 
 
     
     
         5 . The smoking material container system of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 a ramp, said ramp having a pivoting connection at a first side thereof to a portion of said sidewall projecting around said perimeter of said bottom surface; 
 said ramp movable between a stowed position located within said internal cavity to a deployed position projecting from said internal cavity; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a support for said sleeve during openings communicating through said sleeve sidewall from an exterior surface of said sleeve sidewall into said interior chamber; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a slide for communicating said grated particles of said smoking material into said interior cavity from said interior chamber of said sleeve when positioned atop said ramp. 
 
     
     
         6 . The smoking material container system of  claim 2  additionally comprising:
 a ramp, said ramp having a pivoting connection at a first side thereof to a portion of said sidewall projecting around said perimeter of said bottom surface; 
 said ramp movable between a stowed position located within said internal cavity to a deployed position projecting from said internal cavity; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a support for said sleeve during openings communicating through said sleeve sidewall from an exterior surface of said sleeve sidewall into said interior chamber; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a slide for communicating said grated particles of said smoking material into said interior cavity from said interior chamber of said sleeve when positioned atop said ramp. 
 
     
     
         7 . The smoking material container system of  claim 3  additionally comprising:
 a ramp, said ramp having a pivoting connection at a first side thereof to a portion of said sidewall projecting around said perimeter of said bottom surface; 
 said ramp movable between a stowed position located within said internal cavity to a deployed position projecting from said internal cavity; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a support for said sleeve during openings communicating through said sleeve sidewall from an exterior surface of said sleeve sidewall into said interior chamber; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a slide for communicating said grated particles of said smoking material into said interior cavity from said interior chamber of said sleeve when positioned atop said ramp. 
 
     
     
         8 . The smoking material container system of  claim 4  additionally comprising:
 a ramp, said ramp having a pivoting connection at a first side thereof to a portion of said sidewall projecting around said perimeter of said bottom surface; 
 said ramp movable between a stowed position located within said internal cavity to a deployed position projecting from said internal cavity; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a support for said sleeve during openings communicating through said sleeve sidewall from an exterior surface of said sleeve sidewall into said interior chamber; and 
 said ramp in said deployed position forming a slide for communicating said grated particles of said smoking material into said interior cavity from said interior chamber of said sleeve when positioned atop said ramp. 
 
     
     
         9 . The smoking material container system of  claim 5  wherein said pivoting connection of said ramp, additionally comprises:
 a pivoting portion having a first side opposite a second side, said first side of said pivoting portion in a pivoting connection to said sidewall; 
 said pivoting connection engaging a second side of said pivoting portion and said first side of said ramp; and 
 said ramp in said stowed position positionable parallel to and in contact against said bottom surface of said interior container.
