System Comprising a Machine for Preparing a Smokable Product from a Portion Capsule

Abstract

A capsule used for preparing a smokeable product, the capsule comprising a bowl-shaped body made from aluminum and having an open top and a rounded bottom creating a cavity configured to hold smokeable material therein, the rounded bottom having a closed, roughly cylindrical neck extending from a center of the rounded bottom, away from the open top; and a circular disc of aluminum foil configured to couple to the open top of the body of the capsule.

1 . A capsule comprising:
 a) a body, in the shape of a hemisphere, and having an open top and a bottom creating a cavity configured to hold smokeable material therein, the bottom having a neck extending from a center of the bottom, away from the open top, forming a free end; and   b) a circular disc coupled to the open top of the body of the capsule.   
     
     
         2 . The capsule of  claim 1 , wherein the body is made from biodegradable material. 
     
     
         3 . The capsule of  claim 1 , wherein smokeable material is contained within the body. 
     
     
         4 . The capsule of  claim 1 , wherein the circular disc is made from aluminum foil hermetically sealed to the open top of the body. 
     
     
         5 . The capsule of  claim 1 , wherein the neck is closed at its free end. 
     
     
         6 . A capsule comprising:
 a) a body, in the shape of a hemisphere, and having an open top and a rounded bottom creating a cavity configured to hold smokeable material therein, the rounded bottom having a neck extending from a center of the rounded bottom, away from the open top and configured to dispense the smokeable material from the cavity, the neck forming a free end, wherein the neck is closed at its free end; and   b) a circular disc coupled to the open top of the body of the capsule;   wherein the capsule is configured to dispense the smokeable material through the neck and into the rolling medium inside the machine.   
     
     
         7 . The capsule of  claim 6 , wherein the body is made from biodegradable material. 
     
     
         8 . The capsule of  claim 6 , wherein smokeable material is contained within the body. 
     
     
         9 . The capsule of  claim 6 , wherein the circular disc is made from aluminum foil hermetically sealed to the open top of the body. 
     
     
         10 . A capsule comprising:
 a) a body, in the shape of a hemisphere, and having an open top and a rounded bottom, the rounded bottom having a neck extending from a center of the rounded bottom, away from the open top and configured to dispense the smokeable material from the cavity, the neck forming a free end, wherein the neck is closed at its free end; and   b) a circular disc hermetically sealed to the open top of the body of the capsule.   
     
     
         11 . The capsule of  claim 10 , wherein the body is made from biodegradable material. 
     
     
         12 . The capsule of  claim 10 , wherein smokeable material is contained within the body. 
     
     
         13 . The capsule of  claim 10 , wherein the circular disc is made from aluminum foil. 
     
     
         14 . The capsule of  claim 10 , wherein the first diameter of the open top being greater than the second diameter of the closed neck. 
     
     
         15 . The capsule of  claim 10 , wherein the capsule is configured to dispense the smokeable material through the neck and into the rolling medium inside the machine.
