Patent number: 11076542Abstract: A hydroponic plant cultivation apparatus includes a reservoir with an opening. A plurality of planting modules can be stacked above the opening. Each module includes at least one planting port, a module conduit aperture, a top end, and a bottom end configured to releasably engage the opening or the top end of another module. A conduit fluidly communicable with the reservoir is receivable through the module conduit apertures. A fluid distributor is engageable with a top end of the conduit. A fluid contained in the reservoir is selectively circulatable from the reservoir through the conduit to the fluid distributor, where the fluid is redirected down the interior of the modules and back to the reservoir when the modules are stacked above the opening in the reservoir, the conduit is received in the module conduit apertures and fluidly communicated with the reservoir, and the fluid distributor is engaged with the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: TOWER GARDEN, LLCInventor: Morris Bryan, III

Patent number: 10791687Abstract: A hydroponic plant cultivation apparatus including a reservoir having a base defining a first portion of the reservoir and a cover defining a second portion of the reservoir. An upper opening is defined in the cover. A planting column with a hollow interior is positioned above the upper opening. At least one planting port is defined in the planting column. A conduit can pass through the hollow interior of the planting column, the conduit fluidly communicated with the reservoir. A fluid distributor is positioned atop the planting column, the fluid distributor in fluid communication with the conduit. Fluid is selectively circulated from the reservoir through the conduit in the planting column to the fluid distributor, where the fluid is redirected down the hollow interior of the planting column and back to the reservoir. A hydroponic plant cultivation apparatus including a reservoir positioned on a plurality of rollers.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: TOWER GARDEN, LLCInventor: Morris Bryan, III

Patent number: 10136594Abstract: An aeroponic growing system and method is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the system includes at least one vertical column of interconnected growing pots and an overhead support to suspend the vertical column of interconnected growing pots. The system also includes a supply conduit that is in fluid communication with a top of the vertical column of interconnected growing pots and a return conduit in fluid communication with a bottom of the vertical column of interconnected growing pots. In addition, the system includes a reservoir in fluid communication with the supply conduit and the return conduit. A turning mechanism may also be used for rotating the column to achieve uniformity of illumination.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: TOWER GARDEN, LLCInventor: Timothy A.
