Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical materialssuch as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lenswhich 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.

A flower pot support assembly includes a rectangular panel defining a few windows. The support is engaged and retained into a corresponding panel window via lateral flange grooves. An arcuate seat is made integral to the panel window periphery and abuttingly cooperates with a corresponding flower pot support and associated window edge sloping ramps for flower pot support sliding and tilting engagement within the panel window, all in such a way as to releasably lock the flower pot support in nesting condition inside the panel window with the support member mouth facing upwardly.

An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber for receiving a plurality of plant pods. A drive assembly is provided for selectively rotating the grow module within the grow chamber, and includes a turntable assembly configured for receiving the grow module, a bi-directional motor assembly, and a clutch assembly mechanically coupling the motor assembly and the turntable assembly, the clutch assembly having a torque slip threshold beyond which the clutch assembly disengages the motor assembly from the turntable assembly.

A device for packing cut flowers incorporating a bucket for use as a bottom part, and further incorporating a sleeve-shaped top part. The bucket incorporates a peripheral channel that is open at a top side for receiving and retaining a bottom portion of the top part, wherein the peripheral channel projects outwardly with respect to a standing wall of the bucket, and wherein the bucket incorporates a filler piece arranged underneath the peripheral channel and connecting up to both a bottom of the peripheral channel and a portion of the standing wall as present underneath the peripheral channel. Due to the presence of the filler piece on the bucket, channels of adjacent buckets being part of stacks containing buckets positioned alongside each other are prevented from meshing together.

A display container for botanical samples includes: (a) an enclosure including a container body having an open top and a lid detachably mounted to the container body and covering the open top. The container body and the lid enclose an interior chamber for storing a botanical sample. The lid has a transparent viewing section extending over the interior chamber for viewing the botanical sample. The display container further includes (b) one or more scent ports extending through the lid between the chamber and environment. The one or more scent ports are spaced apart from the transparent viewing section. The display container further includes (c) a plug mounted to the lid and sealing the one or more scent ports. At least a portion of the plug is movable away from the lid to expose the one or more scent ports for sampling an aroma of the botanical sample.

A display container includes (a) an enclosure having a container body and a lid mounted to the container body to enclose an interior chamber for storing botanical samples. The lid includes a lens defining an optical axis. The container body includes (i) an open top covered by the lid and defined by an opening, (ii) an interior base surface in the interior chamber and defined by an area smaller than that of the opening, the optical axis intersecting the base surface, and (iii) an interior sidewall surface sloping toward the base surface. The display container further includes (b) one or more scent ports extending through the lid, and (c) a port blocking member attached to the lid and movable between a closed position for blocking the scent ports and an open position for sampling an aroma of the botanical samples through the scent ports.

The invention relates to a container for cut flowers, the container being nestable, the container comprising a container body which at an upper region is provided with a channel-shaped sleeve holder for holding a protective sleeve arranged to protect cut flowers. The channel-shaped sleeve holder is open at its top. Further, the channel-shaped sleeve holder has an outer channel wall. The container further comprises at least one anti-interlocking flange extending downwardly from the channel-shaped sleeve holder. The anti-interlocking flange, or at least a bottom section of the anti-interlocking flange, is staggered with respect to the outer channel wall, or at least a top section of the outer channel wall.

An arcuate seat is made integral to the panel window periphery and abuttingly cooperates with a corresponding flower pot support and associated window edge sloping ramps for flower pot support sliding and tilting engagement within the panel window, all in such a way as to releasably lock the flower pot support in nesting condition inside the panel window with the support member mouth facing upwardly.

An apparatus and a method are provided for a controlled atmosphere display case for prolonged storage of plant-based contents within the case. The controlled atmosphere display case includes a rigid housing having an interior cavity. An inert gas supply provides an inert gas to the interior cavity. The inert gas may be nitrogen, or a combination of inert gases that includes nitrogen. An inlet valve conveys the inert gas into the interior cavity. A vacuum pump and the inert gas supply cooperate to create a nitrogen flush that replaces oxygen-rich air within the interior cavity with nitrogen gas. A pressure gauge actuator regulates the concentration of nitrogen gas within the interior cavity. A refrigeration unit controls temperature and moisture within the interior cavity. The nitrogen flush advantageously extends the shelf life of plant-based produce that may be stored within the interior cavity.
