Abstract:
A packing device for consumable materials comprising an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and springs. The outer sleeve and inner sleeve may matingly and telescopically engage with each other and the inner sleeve may be slideably moveable between a resting position and a compressed position. The inner sleeve may have (a) an interior chamber that is configured to engage with a cone and (b) a consumable material loading chamber. The springs may be configured to create a tension when the inner sleeve is slideably moved from the resting position to the compressed position by a user, such that the inner sleeve is slideably biased into the resting position when the inner sleeve is released by the user, such that when a consumable material is loaded into the consumable material loading chamber, the consumable material is packed into the cone.

Claim (Index 12):
A packing device for consumable materials, comprising:\n an outer sleeve; an inner sleeve; one or more compression springs; and one or more protrusion screws; wherein said outer sleeve is hollow and is configured to matingly and telescopically engage with said inner sleeve; wherein said inner sleeve matingly and telescopically engages within said outer sleeve and is slideably moveable between a resting position and a compressed position; wherein said inner sleeve comprises (a) an interior chamber that is configured to engage with a cone, (b) a consumable material loading chamber, and (c) one or more spring notches that are configured to engage with said one or more compression springs, such that said one or more compression springs are held in place and are prevented from deforming laterally when compressed; wherein said one or more compression springs are configured to create a tension when said inner sleeve is slideably moved from said resting position to said compressed position by a user, such that said inner sleeve is slideably biased into said resting position when said inner sleeve is released by said user, such that when a consumable material is loaded into said consumable material loading chamber, said consumable material is packed into said cone; wherein said one or more protrusion screws pass through said outer sleeve and protrude proximally from said inner surface of said outer sleeve; wherein said inner sleeve further comprises one or more spring notches that are configured to engage with said one or more compression springs, such that said one or more compression springs are held in place and are prevented from deforming laterally when compressed; wherein each of said one or more spring notches comprise a spring notch top shoulder and a spring notch bottom shoulder, such that there are one or more spring notch top shoulders and one or more spring notch bottom shoulders; wherein said one or more spring notch bottom shoulders are positioned at a base of said inner sleeve and wherein each of said one or more spring notch bottom shoulders are configured to engage with a bottom of said one or more compression springs when said inner sleeve is slideably moved from said resting position to said compressed position; wherein said base of said inner sleeve has an aperture that is configured to allow said user to access said cone in said interior chamber of said inner sleeve; wherein said base of said inner sleeve is configured to impact a solid flat surface, which allows said user to more densely pack said cone with said consumable material; wherein said device is configured to allow said user to repeatedly articulate said inner sleeve from a resting position to a compressed position in order to more densely pack said cone; and wherein said device is configured to allow said user to repeatedly articulate said inner sleeve from a resting position to a compressed position in order to pack additional batches of said consumable material into said cone.
