System and method for closing and extracting pre-rolled cones

Abstract

The invention describes a system and method for closing and extracting filled pre-rolled cones. The system comprises of a holding piece, a catch chamber, a closing piece, and an extracting piece. The holding piece comprises a plurality of openings to hold the filled pre-rolled cones and the openings have a wider diameter on the top that tapers towards the bottom. The closing piece comprises a plate, legs and a plurality of countersink holes. The countersink holes are configured to be placed and pressed over the top of each filled cone to funnel the excess paper of the cone. The extracting piece comprises a base and one or more pins. The countersink holes of the closing piece can accommodate one or more pins of the extracting piece. An application of force on the base and one or more pins of the extracting piece can fold the excess paper of the filled pre-rolled cones in the holding piece and release the pre-rolled cones through the openings of the holding piece into the catch chamber.
