A retail display table includes a table top with openings, and a modular display mat disposed over each opening. Each of the modular display mats is movable between a closed position in which it covers its respective table-top opening, and an open position in which it is lifted above the table top so that a cavity underneath the modular display mat is accessible. Also, each modular display mat has holes to accommodate a configuration of displayed items, and is removable and replaceable with another modular display mat having a different configuration of holes to accommodate a different configuration of displayed items. A retail display system may include such a retail display table, along with other modular retail fixtures such as display walls with modular display wall inserts and retail counter units with modular display mats interchangeable with those of the retail display table.

Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical material—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.

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 storage container and an apparatus that is exemplarily, although not necessarily modular. The modular device may be a modular rack assembly removably coupled to an interior of the storage container. The modular rack assembly may include a plurality of modular rack trays, each of the plurality of modular rack trays including a plurality of slits configured to receive a portion of a button positioned in a slanted orientation. The button display system enables systematic organization of at least one, but usually several buttons, effectively storing, preserving, and facilitating their display.

A monitoring and control system is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensors for obtaining readings associated with food items, such as temperature readings, freshness indications, and the like. 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 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 readings and inaccurate readings and/or to otherwise determine if an obstacle is preventing a sensor from obtaining an accurate reading.

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.

Disclosed is a portable freezer module (30) for displaying and dispensing frozen edible products. The module comprises a case (32) and a duct (36). The case (32) comprises an insulated container having an interior space (33) for containing the frozen products, and an active cooling system for cooling the interior space and having a hot end (31) and a cold end (35). The duct (36) extends from the hot end (31) of the active cooling system of the case to a heat exhaust outlet (38). The module (30) is configured such that the case (32) can be removably sited in a presentation space (24) of a chill cabinet (20) with the heat exhaust (38) of the duct (36) positioned outside of the presentation space (24). The duct (36) is a hollow tube free from refrigerant conduits, electrical cables and other electrical equipment.

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 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.

A display container for a botanical sample includes (a) an enclosure having an interior chamber for storing the botanical sample; (b) a plurality of scent ports extending through a wall of the enclosure between the interior chamber and environment; (c) a plug mounted to the enclosure and sealing the scent ports, the plug movable away from the enclosure to expose the scent ports for facilitating sampling of an aroma of the botanical sample when in the enclosure; and (d) an elongate mounting projection in the chamber for retaining the botanical sample thereon.
