Abstract

A capsule having two halves and each half having a locking mechanism. Each half has an extended diameter at the edge to allow for the locking mechanism and to provide that each half can stack upon itself for easy shipping. The dome shape of each half of the capsule can be stacked on like halves for shipping in a straight stack. The extended diameter allows each half of the same type to stack with a friction point directly above the step on each half and allows the user to stack in a straight pile for shipping. Below each step on each half is an extended rim, and a locking mechanism. A user can place any small object such as a toy in the upper and lower half for vending or storage.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A stackable device, comprising: 
 an upper dome, having a first section and a second section;    at least one point disturbing the normal slope of said upper dome, wherein said at least one point divides said upper dome into said first section and said second section; and    wherein said second section has a greater circumference than said first section.    
     
     
         2 . A stackable device as in  claim 1 , wherein said upper dome is a hemisphere.  
     
     
         3 . A stackable device as in  claim 1 , further comprising a lower dome removably communicating with said upper dome.  
     
     
         4 . A stackable device as in  claim 3 , wherein the largest circumference of said lower dome is smaller than the largest circumference of said upper dome.  
     
     
         5 . A stackable device as in  claim 4 , wherein said upper dome communicates with said lower dome via a locking mechanism.  
     
     
         6 . A stackable device as in  claim 1 , wherein said upper dome can communicate with another identical upper dome via said at least one point.  
     
     
         7 . A stackable device as in  claim 3 , wherein said lower dome has a lower first section and a lower second section; at least one lower point disturbing the normal slope of said lower dome, wherein said at least one lower point divides said lower dome into said lower first section and said lower second section; and wherein said lower second section has a greater circumference than said lower first section.  
     
     
         8 . A stackable device as in  claim 7 , wherein said lower dome can communicate with another identical lower dome via said at least one lower point.
