  • Publication number: 20230363325
    Abstract: A vertical garden having an assemblage of parts that facilitates packaging and transportation in a disassembled state and/or one or more features that provide an enhanced leakproof design. The assemblage includes a base and planter modules that are stackable atop the base to form a vertical column of stacked modules for growing plants when in a fully-assembled state. The planter modules may be nestable within each other to form a compact bundle of nested modules that is smaller in size than the vertical column of stacked modules when in a disassembled state, thereby providing a kit that facilitates compact packaging of the vertical garden. An intermediate portion of the garden may have a divider that separates a drain path from the fill port of the device, thereby restricting leakage. A catch basin may be provided for capturing debris. A modular grow lighting system also may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20220211184
    Abstract: An ottoman includes a support base, a reversible footrest that is removably supported in the support base and houses an electrically powered massager, and a compression band that is attached to the reversible footrest and extends over a top or bottom side of the reversible footrest, with the compression band being configured to compress a foot or feet of a user between the compression band and the reversible footrest. The reversible footrest has a first orientation in which the compression band is exposed outside the support base and a second orientation in which the compression band is stowed in the support base. The electrically powered massager is operable when the reversible footrest is in both the first orientation and in the second orientation.
