Abstract

A substance container assembly includes an outer jacket open at one end, the outer jacket having an internal volume, an inner container having an internal volume, the inner container accessible by opening the container, the inner container fitting into the internal volume of the outer jacket and retained therein through alignment with and seating of at least one form on the inner container or component thereof into at least one opening through the wall of the outer jacket and a compression gap created by material removal of a strategic portion or portions of the inner container beneath the at least one aperture enabling physical depression of the at least one aperture below the inside wall of the outer jacket.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A substance container assembly comprising:
 an outer jacket open at one end, the outer jacket having an internal volume;   an inner container having an internal volume, the inner container accessible by opening the container, the inner container fitting into the internal volume of the outer jacket and retained therein through alignment with and seating of at least one protuberance on the inner container into at least one opening through the wall of the outer jacket;   a compression gap created by material removal of a strategic portion or portions of the inner container beneath the at least one protuberance enabling physical depression of the at least one protuberance below the inside wall of the outer jacket.   
     
     
         2 . The substance container assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the outer jacket and inner container are tubular. 
     
     
         3 . The substance container assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the inner container is a clam shell package having an outer diameter and an inner volume for storing the substance. 
     
     
         4 . The substance container assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the inner container is a tubular inner jacket having an internal volume, the inner jacket closed at one end and having a removable bottom tray to close the open end. 
     
     
         5 . The substance container assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one protuberance is a button form contiguously formed on the outside surface of the inner container. 
     
     
         6 . The substance container assembly of  claim 4  further including:
 a tubular rear jacket having an outside diameter, an internal volume and at least one opening through the wall of the rear jacket, the rear jacket having an outside diameter just small enough to fit into the outer jacket; and, 
 a split ring having an outside diameter and internal volume, the split ring hosting the at least one protuberance and a compression gap wherein the compression gap is a longitudinal gap created by material removal to split the ring. 
 
     
     
         7 . The substance container assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one protuberance is a button form on the split ring materially contiguous thereto and strategically located central to and opposite of the split ring compression gap. 
     
     
         8 . The substance container assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one button form may be aligned with and seated through at least one opening on the rear jacket and at least one opening on the outer jacket, the seat openings of the rear and outer jackets aligned to accept the at least one button form. 
     
     
         9 . The substance container assembly of  claim 7  further including:
 a substance staging platform annular in form having an annular plate with a hole pattern provided there through of a uniform hole diameter to accept rolled cigarettes containing the substance. 
 
     
     
         10 . The substance container of  claim 9  further including a plurality of tubular seats attached to the annular plate aligned with and individually matched with each hole in the hole pattern, the tubular seats accepting the staged cigarettes therein holding them substantially parallel and spaced apart according to the hole pattern. 
     
     
         11 . A method for securing a substance in a container and securing the container with substance therein into an outer jacket having at least one seat opening provided through the jacket wall, the seat opening adapted to accept seating of at least one compressible button form comprising the steps:
 (a) opening the container;   (b) placing the substance into the container;   (c) inserting the container from one end of the container partially into the outer jacket up to the at least one button form;   (d) sight aligning the at least one button form to the at least one seat opening;   (e) depressing the at least one button form to elevation below the wall of the outer jacket;   (f) further inserting the container into the outer jacket; and   (g) rotating to seat the at least one button form into the at least one seat opening locking the container into the outer jacket.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in (a) the container is an elongate clam shell package comprising two half shells that snap together. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in (a) the container is a tubular container closed at one end with a removable cap to close the open end. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in (b) the substance is cannabis cigarettes placed in a staging platform. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in (c) the at least one button form is contiguous to a clam shell package as the container. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in (c) the at least one button form is contiguous to a split ring used to retain a tubular container into the outer jacket. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein in (a) the tubular container includes a staging platform comprising an annular plate supporting a through hole pattern and matching tubular seats for staging cannabis cigarettes held spaced apart and parallel within the container. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising steps:
 (h) depressing the at least one button form to elevation below the wall of the outer jacket; 
 (i) pulling or pushing the container out from the outer jacket; and 
 (j) opening the container and retrieving the substance. 
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein in (h) the at least one button form is contiguous to a clam shell package. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein in (h) the at least one button form is contiguous to a split ring used to retain a tubular container having a closed end and a cap to close the open end.
