Humidity control container

Abstract

A humidity control container may include a container enclosure having an enclosure interior. An enclosure lid may be supported by the container enclosure. The enclosure lid may be selectively deployable in a closed lid position and an open lid position on the container enclosure. The enclosure lid may form a substantially airtight seal with the container enclosure in the closed lid position. At least one humidity pack compartment may be supported by the enclosure lid. The humidity pack compartment may be suitably sized and configured to contain at least one humidity pack. The humidity pack in the humidity pack compartment may be disposed in air communication with the enclosure interior of the container enclosure when the enclosure lid is deployed in the closed lid position on the container enclosure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of preserving a humidity-sensitive substance in a humidity control container, the method comprising:
 placing at least one humidity pack into a humidity pack compartment supported by an enclosure lid of the humidity control container, wherein the humidity pack compartment is configured to maintain air communication with an enclosure interior of the humidity control container;   placing the humidity-sensitive substance into the enclosure interior;   closing the enclosure lid to form a substantially airtight seal between the enclosure lid and a container enclosure of the humidity control container; and   maintaining the humidity-sensitive substance in the enclosure interior such that moisture from the humidity pack is transferred into the enclosure interior, thereby preserving freshness of the humidity-sensitive substance.   
     
     
         2 . A humidity control container for preserving a humidity-sensitive substance, the container comprising:
 a container enclosure defining an enclosure interior;   an enclosure lid supported by the container enclosure and selectively deployable between a closed lid position and an open lid position, the enclosure lid forming a substantially airtight seal with the container enclosure in the closed lid position; and   at least one humidity pack compartment supported by the enclosure lid and configured to receive at least one humidity pack in air communication with the enclosure interior when the enclosure lid is in the closed lid position.   
     
     
         3 . A humidity control container for preserving a humidity-sensitive substance, the container comprising:
 a container enclosure having a bottom enclosure panel, a front enclosure panel, a rear enclosure panel, and a pair of side enclosure panels joined to define an enclosure interior;   an enclosure lid pivotally coupled to the container enclosure and selectively deployable between a closed lid position, in which the enclosure lid forms a substantially airtight seal with the container enclosure, and an open lid position, in which the enclosure interior is accessible; and   at least one moisture-porous humidity pack compartment supported on an interior lid surface of the enclosure lid and configured to contain at least one humidity pack in air communication with the enclosure interior when the enclosure lid is in the closed lid position.   
     
     
         4 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the enclosure lid is pivotally coupled to the container enclosure by at least one hinge disposed along a rear edge of the enclosure lid. 
     
     
         5 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the humidity pack compartment is positioned substantially at or near a geometric center of the interior lid surface. 
     
     
         6 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the humidity pack compartment comprises a fabric, mesh, or netting material configured to allow moisture to pass from the at least one humidity pack into the enclosure interior. 
     
     
         7 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one enclosure partition disposed in the enclosure interior to divide the enclosure interior into at least two compartments. 
     
     
         8 . The humidity control container of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one enclosure partition is removably mounted to allow reconfiguration of the enclosure interior. 
     
     
         9 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the bottom enclosure panel, the front enclosure panel, the rear enclosure panel, or the side enclosure panels is fabricated from a material different from a material of at least one other panel, the material or materials selected from wood, metal, plastic, fiberboard, or composites thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The humidity control container of  claim 9 , wherein the material or materials include distinct varieties of wood selected from maple, cherry, mahogany, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the container enclosure is substantially rectangular such that each panel is joined along respective edges to define the enclosure interior. 
     
     
         12 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the enclosure lid comprises an exterior lid surface configured to receive at least one logo, brand, or decorative marking. 
     
     
         13 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one humidity pack opening in the humidity pack compartment for placement or removal of the at least one humidity pack. 
     
     
         14 . The humidity control container of  claim 13 , wherein the humidity pack opening is disposed between a bottom compartment panel and a side compartment panel of the humidity pack compartment such that, in the closed lid position, the at least one humidity pack remains in air communication with the enclosure interior. 
     
     
         15 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the humidity-sensitive substance comprises  Cannabis.    
     
     
         16 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the humidity pack compartment is dimensioned to hold a plurality of humidity packs simultaneously. 
     
     
         17 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the enclosure lid and the container enclosure form the substantially airtight seal by virtue of a continuous gasket disposed around a rim of at least one of the enclosure lid or the container enclosure. 
     
     
         18 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , wherein the bottom enclosure panel, the front enclosure panel, the rear enclosure panel, and the side enclosure panels are each joined at a respective edge to form a rectangular prism defining the enclosure interior. 
     
     
         19 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , further comprising a locking mechanism configured to secure the enclosure lid in the closed lid position. 
     
     
         20 . The humidity control container of  claim 3 , further comprising a lid stop or support adapted to maintain the enclosure lid at a fixed angle in the open lid position.
