Abstract

An environmentally sensitive container assembly for curing cannabis includes a jar that has cannabis positioned therein for the purposes of curing the cannabis. A disk is positionable on the jar for closing the jar. A humidistat is coupled to the disk to detect humidity levels in the jar. A thermometer is coupled to the disk to detect a temperature in the jar. A display is coupled to the disk, the display displays temperature indicia for communicating the temperature in the interior of the jar and the display displays humidity indicia for communication the humidity in the interior of the jar. A lid is removably coupled to the jar and compresses the disk against the jar to close the jar.

Claims (25)

1. An environmentally sensitive container assembly being configured to display atmospheric conditions within assembly for storing and curing cannabis, said assembly comprising:

a jar having cannabis positioned therein for the purposes of curing the cannabis;

a disk being positionable on said jar for closing said jar;

a humidistat being coupled to said disk, said humidistat being in fluid communication with an interior of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar wherein said humidistat is configured to detect humidity levels in said jar;

a thermometer being coupled to said disk, said thermometer being in thermal communication with said interior of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar wherein said thermometer is configured to detect a temperature in said jar;

a display being coupled to said disk, said display displaying temperature indicia for communicating the temperature in said interior of said jar, said display displaying humidity indicia for communication the humidity in said interior of said jar; and

a lid being removably coupled to said jar and compressing said disk against said jar to close said jar.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said jar has a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly therefrom, said outer wall having a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall defining an opening into said jar, said outer wall having an outer surface, said outer surface having a threaded portion adjacent to said distal edge, said jar being comprised of a fluid impermeable material.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein:

said disk has a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said disk having an aperture extending through said first and second surfaces, said aperture being centrally positioned on said disk, said first surface resting on said distal edge of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar;

said disk being comprised of a rigid material; and

said disk having a bend therein being spaced from and being coextensive with said perimeter edge to define a outer portion of said disk being offset with a central portion of said disk, said outer portion lying on said distal edge of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar.

4. The assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising a housing being positioned within said aperture, said housing having an outer surface and an upper surface, said outer surface being continuously arcuate such that said housing has a disk shape, said outer surface of said housing engaging a bounding edge of said aperture having said upper surface being directed upwardly from said disk.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising a gasket extending around said outer surface of said housing, said gasket engaging said second surface of said disk such that said gasket forms a fluid impermeable seal between said housing and said disk to inhibit fluid communication between said interior of said jar and ambient air when said disk is positioned on said jar.

6. The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said lid has an outside wall, said outside wall being continuously arcuate such that said lid forms a closed ring, said outside wall having an upper edge, a lower edge and an inwardly facing surface extending therebetween, said inwardly facing surface threadably engaging said threaded portion on said outer surface of said outer wall of said jar for removably retaining said lid on said jar.

7. The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said lid has a lip extending inwardly from said inwardly facing surface of said outer wall of said lid, said lip being aligned with said upper edge of said lid, said lip engaging said second surface of said disk when said lid is positioned on said jar for compressing said disk against said distal edge of said outer wall of said jar.

8. An environmentally sensitive container assembly being configured to display atmospheric conditions within assembly for storing and curing cannabis, said assembly comprising:

a jar having cannabis positioned therein for the purposes of curing the cannabis, said jar having a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly therefrom, said outer wall having a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall defining an opening into said jar, said outer wall having an outer surface, said outer surface having a threaded portion adjacent to said distal edge, said jar being comprised of a fluid impermeable material;

a disk being positionable on said jar for closing said jar, said disk having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said disk having an aperture extending through said first and second surfaces, said aperture being centrally positioned on said disk, said first surface resting on said distal edge of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar, said disk being comprised of a rigid material, said disk having a bend therein being spaced from and being coextensive with said perimeter edge to define a outer portion of said disk being offset with a central portion of said disk, said outer portion lying on said distal edge of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar;

a housing being positioned within said aperture, said housing having an outer surface and an upper surface, said outer surface being continuously arcuate such that said housing has a disk shape, said outer surface of said housing engaging a bounding edge of said aperture having said upper surface being directed upwardly from said disk;

a humidistat being coupled to said housing, said humidistat being in fluid communication with an interior of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar wherein said humidistat is configured to detect humidity levels in said jar;

a thermometer being coupled to said housing, said thermometer being in thermal communication with said interior of said jar when said disk is positioned on said jar wherein said thermometer is configured to detect a temperature in said jar;

a display being coupled to said housing, said display being electrically coupled to each of said humidistat and said thermometer, said display displaying temperature indicia for communicating the temperature in said interior of said jar, said display displaying humidity indicia for communication the humidity in said interior of said jar, said display being positioned on said upper surface of said housing wherein said display is configured to be visible when said disk is positioned on said jar;

a gasket extending around said outer surface of said housing, said gasket engaging said second surface of said disk such that said gasket forms a fluid impermeable seal between said housing and said disk to inhibit fluid communication between said interior of said jar and ambient air when said disk is positioned on said jar; and

a lid being removably coupled to said jar and compressing said disk against said jar to close said jar, said lid having an outside wall, said outside wall being continuously arcuate such that said lid forms a closed ring, said outside wall having an upper edge, a lower edge and an inwardly facing surface extending therebetween, said inwardly facing surface threadably engaging said threaded portion on said outer surface of said outer wall of said jar for removably retaining said lid on said jar, said lid having a lip extending inwardly from said inwardly facing surface of said outer wall of said lid, said lip being aligned with said upper edge of said lid, said lip engaging said second surface of said disk when said lid is positioned on said jar for compressing said disk against said distal edge of said outer wall of said jar.
