Abstract
A modular vessel assembly configured to hold one or more plants in a cultivation environment is provided. The vessel assemblies may be assembled from multiple components, each component having an identical design. Aspects of the present disclosure allow for high-volume production of a single component that is versatile enough to join with other identical or substantially similar components to form a tower of vessels configured to hold a number of plants during cultivation.
Claims20
A modular vessel comprising:
- a first module and a second module, each module comprising:
- a body defining an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion, the body defining a void in the central portion;
- a first male engagement disposed on a first interior wall and a second male engagement disposed on a first exterior wall;
- a first female engagement disposed on the interior wall and a second female engagement disposed on the exterior wall;
- a first edge including a flange;
- a second edge defining a groove;
- wherein the first module is configured to couple to the second module by engaging the flange of the first module with the groove of the second module and the flange of the second module with the groove of the first module.
A modular grow-tower comprising:
- a first tower half and a second tower half, each tower half comprising a plurality of modules, each module comprising:
- a body defining an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion, the body defining a void in the central portion;
- a first male engagement disposed on a first interior wall and a second male engagement disposed on a first exterior wall;
- a first female engagement disposed on the interior wall and a second female engagement disposed on the exterior wall;
- a first edge including a flange;
- a second edge defining a groove;
- wherein each module of the first and second tower halves are configured to couple by engaging the first male engagement of a first module to first female engagement of a lower module;
- and
- wherein the first tower half is configured to couple to the second tower half by engaging the flanges of the modules of the first tower half with the grooves of the second tower half and the flanges of the second tower half with the grooves of the first tower half.
A method of assembling a modular vessel, the method comprising:
- engaging a first flange of a first vessel module with a first groove of a second vessel module, the first flange disposed on a first rear edge of the first vessel module, the first groove defined on a second rear edge of the second vessel module;
- engaging a second flange of the second vessel module with a second groove of the first vessel module, the second flange disposed on a third rear edge of the second vessel module, the second groove disposed on a fourth rear edge of the first vessel module.
