Lid for containers and related methods

Abstract

A lid designed to allow a user to see and adjust the humidity levels of a container using a hygrometer and pocket for humidity packs. The lid also allows this to be accomplished without removing the lid because a hatch gives the user access to the inside of the container and underside of the lid, where the pocket is located. Also, the hatch on the lid provides a more efficient and easier method of accessing the contents of a container because a user can simply open and close a hatch, instead of needing to unlock a lever locking latch to remove a lid.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A lid for transforming a non-humidity controlled container into a humidity controlled container, said lid comprising:
 a topside and an underside;   a circular rim configured to attach to the non-humidity controlled container of a specified diameter, thus transforming the non-humidity controlled container into the humidity controlled container;   a hygrometer, located on the topside of the lid, wherein the hygrometer is adapted to monitor and digitally display the humidity within the humidity controlled container; and,   wherein the lid comprises an intake port and an exhaust port which are configured to connect the topside and the underside of the lid, wherein the exhaust port features a fan or pump that is powered automatically at timed intervals and is controlled by a timer.   
     
     
         2 . A lid for augmenting a container to become a humidity-controlled container and controlling the level of humidity in the container comprising:
 A topside and an underside   a rim configured to be secured around an edge of a non-humidity controlled container;   an exhaust port and an intake configured to connect the topside of the lid to the underside of the lid; and,   means for wireless transmission of data to a mobile device.   
     
     
         3 . A method of turning a non-humidity controlled container into a humidity controlled container and adjusting the humidity in the humidity controlled container comprising:
 obtaining a non-humidity controlled container having an edge;   obtaining a lid, the lid comprising:
 a topside and an underside; 
   a filtered exhaust port and carb which are configured to connect the topside and the underside of the lid wherein the exhaust port features a fan or pump that is powered automatically at timed intervals and is controlled by a timer;
 a circular rim configured to attach to the non-humidity controlled container; 
   securing the lid to the non-humidity controlled container by placing the rim over the edge of the non-humidity controlled container, thus transforming the non-humidity controlled container into the humidity controlled container;
 setting the timer; and, 
 automatically burping the container at the timed intervals.
