Abstract:
The present invention involves a system and method for grinding herbs, tobacco, marijuana and the like. The herb grinder system herein includes interchangeable and replaceable lower grinder plates that are secured in place with threading, bayonet mounts or the like. The upper and lower grinding plates are provided with blades having a modified diamond shape which provides extremely sharp leading edges regardless of which direction the grip assembly of the grinder housing is rotated. The lower plates are also provided with variations in the size, shape and arrangement of hole sizes through which the ground material is allowed to pass through. This construction provides the user with the ability to control his/her grind size mixture, which may be consistent sized grinds or a mixture of different sized grinds.

Claim (Index 11):
An herb grinder system comprising:\n a tubular housing member including an internal bore, an outer surface, a top surface and a lower surface, a top portion of the said internal bore having a smooth surface, a lower portion of said internal bore having internal engaging structure; a first lower grinding plate including a plate portion having an upper surface with upstanding blades integrally formed to said first lower grinding plate, at least a portion of an outer diameter having an external engaging structure for securing said first lower grinding plate perpendicular to said internal bore; an interchangeable screen assembly, said interchangeable screen assembly including a screen and a screen frame, said screen frame extending around and secured to a perimeter of said screen with said screen frame securing said interchangeable screen assembly within said internal bore, said screen frame including said external engaging structure that is constructed and arranged to cooperate with said internal engaging structure for securing said interchangeable screen assembly spaced apart and parallel to said first lower grinding plate; a bottom cap member enclosing said internal bore of said tubular housing member; and an upper grinding plate assembly, said upper grinding plate assembly including a pilot portion sized and shaped to fit within said internal bore of said tubular housing member while allowing rotation of said upper grinding plate assembly with respect to said tubular housing member, a lower surface of said upper grinding plate assembly including a plurality of outwardly extending blades positioned to pass between said upstanding blades of said lower grinding plate when said upper grinding plate is rotated.
