Abstract
A kaleidoscopic display assembly, comprising: (a) a stand; (b) a kaleidoscope tube supported by the stand; (c) a display container in alignment with the kaleidoscope tube for containing at least a first botanical specimen viewable in a kaleidoscopic pattern through a viewing opening of the kaleidoscope tube; and (d) an aroma container positioned alongside the tube and enclosing an aroma chamber for containing a second botanical specimen. The aroma container has one or more scent ports extending therethrough for sampling an aroma of the second botanical specimen during viewing of the kaleidoscopic pattern.
Claims20
A kaleidoscopic display assembly, comprising:
- a) a stand;
- b) a kaleidoscope tube supported by the stand and extending along a tube axis between a first end and a second end, the tube having an interior extending along the tube axis between a first opening at the first end of the tube and a second opening at the second end of the tube, and a plurality of reflective surfaces arranged in the interior about the tube axis for forming kaleidoscopic patterns;
- c) a display container at the second end of the tube, the display container enclosing a first display chamber extending across the second opening of the tube for containing at least a first botanical specimen viewable in a kaleidoscopic pattern through the first opening of the tube;
- and
- d) an aroma container alongside the tube and enclosing an aroma chamber for containing a second botanical specimen, the aroma container having one or more scent ports extending therethrough for sampling an aroma of the second botanical specimen during viewing of the kaleidoscopic pattern through the first opening.
A kaleidoscopic display assembly, comprising:
- a) a stand;
- b) a kaleidoscope tube supported by the stand;
- c) a display container in alignment with the kaleidoscope tube for containing at least a first botanical specimen viewable in a kaleidoscopic pattern through a viewing opening of the kaleidoscope tube;
- and
- d) an aroma container adjacent the tube and enclosing an aroma chamber for containing a second botanical specimen, the aroma container having one or more scent ports extending therethrough for sampling an aroma of the second botanical specimen during viewing of the kaleidoscopic pattern.
A kaleidoscopic display assembly, comprising:
- a) a stand;
- b) a kaleidoscope tube supported by the stand;
- and
- c) one or more containers enclosing one or more chambers for containing botanical specimens, wherein one of the chambers is in alignment with the kaleidoscope tube for forming a kaleidoscopic pattern of a corresponding botanical specimen, the kaleidoscopic pattern viewable through a viewing opening of the kaleidoscope tube, and wherein one of the containers includes one or more scent ports for sampling an aroma of a corresponding botanical specimen during viewing of the kaleidoscopic pattern through the viewing opening.
A method of displaying botanical specimens for multisensory sampling, comprising:
- a) inserting a first botanical specimen into a display chamber mounted in alignment with a kaleidoscope tube for forming a kaleidoscopic pattern of the first botanical specimen viewable through the kaleidoscope tube;
- and
- b) inserting a second botanical specimen into an aroma container mounted adjacent the kaleidoscope tube, the aroma container having one or more scent ports for sampling an aroma of the second botanical specimen during viewing of the kaleidoscopic pattern.
A kaleidoscopic display assembly, comprising:
- a) a stand;
- b) a kaleidoscope tube supported by the stand, the tube having an interior extending along a tube axis between a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening, and a plurality of reflective surfaces arranged in the interior about the tube axis for forming kaleidoscopic patterns;
- c) a first display chamber extending across the second opening for containing a botanical specimen viewable in a kaleidoscopic pattern through the first opening;
- and
- d) a second display chamber extending across the second opening between the first display chamber and the second opening of the kaleidoscope tube, the second display chamber containing a plurality of objects for forming part of the kaleidoscopic pattern viewable through the first opening.
