Storage device for smoking material, lighter and smoking device

Abstract

A storage container includes a housing. The housing includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first compartment, and a second compartment within the housing. The first compartment defines a first opening at the first end and is sealed at the second end of the housing. The second compartment is adjacent to and separate from the first compartment within the housing. The second compartment extends distally beyond the first end of the housing and defines a second opening. The second compartment is sealed with respect to the second end of the housing. The first compartment defines a first cross-sectional shape, and the second compartment defines a second cross-sectional shape. The second cross-sectional shape is the same as the first cross-sectional shape. The second compartment has a cross-sectional area at least as large as a cross-sectional area of the first compartment.

         12 . A storage container, comprising:
 a housing, the housing including a first end and a second end opposite the first end;   a lighter compartment within the housing, the lighter compartment defining a first opening at the first end and having a sealed compartment floor at the second end of the housing; an organic material compartment adjacent to and separate from the lighter compartment within the housing, the organic material compartment extending distally beyond the first end of the housing and defining a second opening, the second compartment having a sealed compartment floor proximate to the second end of the housing; and   the lighter compartment defining a first cross-sectional shape and the organic material compartment defining a second cross-sectional shape, the second cross-sectional shape being the same as the first cross-sectional shape, the second compartment having a cross-sectional area at least as large as a cross-sectional area of the first compartment.   
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the lighter compartment and organic material compartment are formed as unitary structures within the housing. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the lighter compartment and organic material compartment each include a rim having an inner circumscribed portion and an outer circumscribed portion. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 14 , further including a lid hingedly connected to the first end of the housing for operation of the lid between an open position and a closed position, the lid having an inner sealing member configured to provide a seal against the organic material compartment when in the closed position. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the inner sealing member is coupled to the outer circumscribed portion of the rim of the organic material compartment when in the closed position. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16 , further including a plurality of cleaning elements coupled to and extending distally away from the sealed compartment floor of the organic material compartment.
