A grow cabinet, for indoor use, comprising a first portion, defining a first cavity, and a second portion, defining a second cavity, wherein the first and second portion are configured to register, for communication of the first and second cavity and for complimentary slidable engagement, such that a floor area of the combined first and second cavity is variable.
Claims13
A grow cabinet, for indoor use, comprising:
- a first portion having an outside, defining a first cavity, wherein a bottom face of the first portion includes at least one ground-engaging foot projecting from the bottom face, wherein the first portion has a first floor;
- and
- a second portion, defining a second cavity, wherein a bottom face of the second portion includes at least one ground-engaging wheel and a slit, wherein the slit is configured to register with the at least one foot of the first portion and wherein the second portion has a second floor and a door,
- wherein the first portion and second portion are configured to register, for communication of the first and second cavities and for complimentary slidable engagement, such that a floor area of the combined first cavity and second cavity is variable, wherein the second portion passes around the outside of the first portion, and wherein the at least one foot extends from the bottom face of the first portion towards the bottom face of the second portion, into and through said slit, and extends out of the slit so that the at least one foot projects out and away from the bottom face of the second portion to support the first portion on a floor on which the first portion is placed in use, such that a portion of said at least one ground-engaging foot within the slit passes along the slit as the second portion moves on the at least one ground-engaging wheel relative to the first portion, so that the second portion is moveable relative to the first portion,
- wherein the second floor is below the first floor before, during, and after complimentary slidable engagement;
- and
- wherein the combined first cavity and second cavity form an enclosed space to provide a controllable environment with respect to temperature and humidity suitable for growing a plant, in which the volume of the enclosed space can be adjusted by moving the second portion, the enclosed space being accessible from outside via the door.
