Claims11
A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen, comprising:
- a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen, at least a portion of the container body generally transparent to facilitate viewing 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, the air pump cooperating with the container body to define an interior volume of the display container, wherein the air pump is movable between an expanded state and a contracted state, and movement of the air pump toward the contracted state reduces the interior volume for discharging the scented air from within the container body through the at least one scent discharge port,
- wherein the interior volume comprises an air chamber of the air pump, and wherein movement of the air pump to the contracted state collapses the air chamber,
- wherein the air pump comprises a resiliently deformable bulb mounted to the container body, the bulb having a bulb interior defining the air chamber, and
- wherein when the air pump is in the expanded state, the bulb projects outwardly from an exterior surface of the container body and is depressible inwardly toward the container body to move the air pump toward the contracted state and collapse the air chamber.
