SIPHON
There is provided a siphon for use in a growth tray comprising at least one inlet, an outlet and a cavity located between the at least one inlet and the outlet, the at least one inlet being in fluid communication with the outlet such that during use fluid may flow from the at least one inlet to the outlet via the cavity, wherein the cavity is configured to retain air within the cavity until liquid is induced to displace it such that liquid surrounding the siphon is drained through the outlet via the cavity and the at least one inlet.
Foldable pot with removable hook for the configuration of vertical gardens
Foldable plant pot with removable hooking for the configuration of vertical gardens that is manufactured from a foldable flat square structure manipulated by folds and cuts to obtain a conical reservoir with angular shapes. It has a hooking system that allows them to be suspended in vertical structures, preferably of the mesh type, thanks to the pressure generated by the folds of the material and which also allow it to come off when this pressure is reduced so that it can be placed elsewhere. When the plant is moved, it is not affected as its root remains intact in the conical reservoir and the stem is secured by a support ring which prevents it from dropping in the event of sudden movements. In the same way, it has containment flaps that partially close the conical reservoir and prevent the substrate from being extracted by external agents such as sudden movements, winds, birds, etc. As a whole, it is possible to work with vertical garden designs considering the plants as pixel units in order to create figures, letters, logos, etc. It is a very clean system that does not require prepared soil (clay, sand, etc.) and uses little water. The irrigation system only requires a hose with drippers at the top that distribute the water to vertical rows of the plant pot.
PLANT HOLDER FOR PLANT CULTIVATION OBJECT
A plant cultivation object includes a body having an upright orientation and extending along a longitudinal axis, the body having external walls with plant cavities. Plant holders are receivable in the plant cavities. The plant holders have one or more outer walls and one or more inner walls spaced inwardly from the outer walls. The one or more inner walls delimit a hole. The plant holders are resiliently deformable. The plant cultivation object is rotatable about its own axis.
TRAY SYSTEM FOR PLANT CULTIVATION
A tray for a vertical growing system for growing plants having opposed first and second side walls, a first open end and second open end opposed to the first end defining a perimeter of the tray; and a raised region disposed within the perimeter of the tray wherein the first end comprises a male extension and the second end comprises a female extension; wherein the male extension and female extension are configured to snap together between two adjacent trays.
Modular container for growing plants
A container for growing plants includes a bottom wall, a first side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall, and a second side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall and parallel to the first side wall such that the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall at least partially define a plant growing chamber. Furthermore, the container includes a lid configured to selectively occlude access to the plant growing chamber. Additionally, one of the bottom wall, the first or second side walls, or the lid includes a rail and another of the bottom wall, the first or second side walls, or the lid defines a groove such that the rail of the container is configured to be received within a groove of a first adjacent container and the groove of the container is configured to receive a rail of a second adjacent container.
Modular aeroponic growing column and system
A modular aeroponic growing column has an elongated first body, a fluid receiving cap, a fluid draining base cap, and a plurality of growing receptacles. The elongated first body includes a fluid receiving end, an opposite fluid draining end, an interior receiving space extending between the fluid receiving end and the fluid draining end, and a plurality of growing receptacle receiving openings positioned on the first body. The plurality of growing receptacles is positioned in the growing receptacle receiving openings.
PLANTING STRUCTURE
A planting structure includes a trough and a plurality of lateral covers. The trough has a hollow space and a planting space, and a canal is formed inside of the trough; the lateral covers cover a lateral side of the trough and seals off the planting space. Accordingly, the planting structure can directly perform cycled transmissions of moisture or a gas via the canal, so as to control growth conditions such as temperature and humidity in the planting space and recycle nutrient solutions and excessive moisture, thereby benefitting crops or growth of the crops and achieving environmental protection and energy saving. In comparison to the conventional indoor organic cultivation, which is necessary to control the temperature and the humidity of the whole indoor space, the present invention only needs to control the pipelines with respect to the root portions of plants, and thus is easier to control and more energy-saving.
Plant growth container
A plant-growing container (500) can include a lower portion (506) and a wall (502) extending upwardly from the lower portion (506). The wall (502) can include a first aperture (512). The plant-growing container (500) can further include an orifice (510) formed by an upper portion (504) of the wall (502) and configured to receive a removable seed receptacle. The plant-growing container (500) can further include a reservoir provided by a lower portion (506) of the wall (502). The container (500) can be configured to be removably inserted into a port of a module of a plant-growing system, wherein the reservoir can be configured to receive a first volume of fluid from a fluid that is circulated through the plant-growing system.
PLANT CONTAINER ASSEMBLY
A plant container assembly includes a first plant container, a second plant container, and at least one buckle. The first plant container has at least one first buckle part protruding from an outer wall surface of a container wall of the first plant container and located at a bottom section of the container wall of the first plant container. The second plant container has at least one second buckle part protruding from an outer wall surface of a container wall of the second plant container and located at a top section of the container wall of the second plant container. When the first plant container is stacked on top of the second plant container, the buckle could be engaged with both the first buckle part of the first plant container and the second buckle part of the second plant container, thereby enhancing the stacking strength of the plant containers.
AQUATIC HABITAT STRUCTURE FOR UNDERWATER ORGANISMS
An aquatic habitat structure mountable with a bulkhead includes an elongate body including a longitudinal axis, and a mounting member configured to couple the elongate body to the bulkhead. The aquatic habitat structure additionally includes one or more modular habitats, and one or more mounting brackets, wherein each of the one or more mounting brackets are configured to couple at least one of the one or more modular habitats to the elongate body.
