A storage device having a cylindrical housing with a first end, a second end and cylindrical side, wherein the ends are closed and the cylindrical side has one or more apertures. There is a cylindrical cover for each of the one or more apertures that slidably fit over the cylindrical side of the cylindrical housing and able to slide about the cylindrical side exposing or covering the one or more apertures.

A temperature monitoring and control system is provided. The system includes a plurality of temperature sensors for obtaining temperature readings of food items. The system is scalable and configurable with each sensor being capable of functioning as an individual sensor and/or as part of a grouping of sensors. The system is configured to obtain a variety of information, such as ambient air temperature, dwell time of food items, moisture levels, and the like, thereby enabling the system to recognize current and future temperature concerns. The system provides audio and visual warnings and visual displays. In some embodiments, the system performs one or more physical operation based on one or more detected condition. The system is further configured to distinguish between accurate temperature readings and inaccurate temperature readings and/or to otherwise determine if an obstacle is preventing a temperature sensor from obtaining an accurate temperature reading.

The invention generally involves a button display system and button display apparatus for storing, organizing, and facilitating a display of at least one button. The button display system comprises a frame having a plurality of side walls for enclosing the front frame and a viewing window disposed on a front side of the frame and a mount board having one or more cavities spaced apart from each other configured to snugly position one or more buttons. The mount board is affixed over a back panel or backing board to support the above arrangement and display the buttons. The mount board comprises a tab or split between each cavity to divide the cavities. Each cavity includes a channel having a base and a protrusion configured to mount a portion of the buttons inside the cavity by affixing a hook or connecting member into the protrusion.

A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen includes: (a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen; (b) at least one scent discharge port in the container body; and (c) an air pump coupled to the container body and operable to discharge the scented air from within the container body to the environment through the scent discharge port.

A base assembly for a ball display case includes a base configured to support the display case on a surface. A pedestal is supported by the base and configured to support the ball in the display case. The pedestal includes a platform for seating the ball in the display case. The platform includes a spring configured to yield when contacted by the ball in the display case.

A convertible table assembly has an item display configuration in which items can be presented for purchasers/guests. The convertible table assembly includes a tabletop assembly and one or more demountable bins for presenting food or other items for purchase, use, and/or consumption by consumers and/or guests. The convertible table assembly also has a table configuration in which the bins are not mounted and one or more power outlets and/or charging and/or communication ports are exposed for connection to electronic devices.

An illuminable display assembly including (a) a housing having a base securable to a support surface, a platform detachably mounted to the base, and a generally enclosed interior bounded from above by the platform. The platform includes a plurality of illuminable windows spaced apart from each other therealong. The display assembly further includes (b) a plurality of retractable tethers mounted to the platform in the interior of the housing. The tethers fasten corresponding display containers to the platform and urge the display containers to predetermined positions adjacent corresponding windows. The display assembly further includes (c) a lighting system including one or more interior light sources in the interior of the housing for illuminating the windows and display containers from below.

A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen includes: (a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen; (b) at least one scent discharge port in the container body; and (c) an air pump coupled to the container body and operable to discharge the scented air from within the container body to the environment through the at least one scent discharge port.

Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical materials—such as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lens—which may have various shapes. In a preferred embodiment, lid is shaped to define a recessed area with scent openings permitting aroma sampling of a sample contained within. A removable plug is shaped to fit within the recessed area of the lid. The container body and lid, with removable plug fit within the lid, form an airtight chamber within. A botanical sample may be visualized through the lens.
