Abstract
The Invention is a standard set of round, cylindrical and spherical pieces that form objects to hold other objects and food, to transport things and to build modular elegant and beautiful constructions. For example, the Invention's pieces can be used as spherical flowerpots that are arranged along a walkway with flowers, and those same flowerpots can be stacked to support a flowerpot a few feet off the ground. Furthermore, the flowerpots can be stacked to form columns that vines grow on. Pieces can be made exponentially larger and smaller, and features on pieces can also be made exponentially larger and smaller, while maintaining compatibility within the system of Invention pieces. For example, the stacked boxes that are FIG. 33 can be elongated to stack in a manner that forms the pattern of a standard brick wall's interlocking pieces.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention

With circular and spherical pieces, the Hand Heart Holder (the “Invention”) series of pieces build bowls, trays, necklaces, and spheres that hold objects (including food), stack to form structures, and form stackable hands that snap together when holding an object in the form of a heart.


Description of Related Art

Round and spherical bowls hold food.


There are necklaces that have hands as ornaments.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Invention uses simple standard measurements and design specifications to create circles and spheres that can be assembled by stacking together in a series of different and reversible ways.


The Invention's pieces use undulating surfaces to fit into themselves on top of one another, as lids to themselves, and as enclosed spaces that can be stacked (i.e., as lids of themselves in pieces that are also securely stacked on top of each other).


The Invention's spherical objects can transport smaller parts of the Invention inside the spheres so the Invention provides not just stackable objects and enclosed spaces and containers, it also forms its own transportation mechanism in the form of spheres carrying Invention objects and other objects through an area or through a construction. In this manner the Invention can build itself. When rounded surfaces of the Invention's objects are magnetized so that they can fit together magnetically or so that they can be propelled through constructions made of the Invention's objects, the Invention can self-assemble constructions.


The Invention's pieces are useful stable building blocks that also are aesthetically appealing in that they communicate a message of love and care and in that they embody useful design that is also beautiful.


The Invention can be made with a wide range of materials including ceramic, metal, glass, plastic materials and combinations of these materials and other recycled or natural materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION


FIG. 1A is an undulating tray (1, 2) with a smooth bottom (3) whose top fits into itself to form an enclosed disc in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 14 (the assembled piece's lips (41, 42) in FIG. 14 have the same undulating design as FIG. 1A but the wavy bottom that appears in FIG. 14 (41, 42) is different from the flat bottom (3) of FIG. 1A).



FIG. 1B is the undulating tray (4, 5) shown in FIG. 1A except the drawing in FIG. 1B shows the tray from more of a side angle. The low points of the edges (for example, the low point at element 5) are negatively charged magnetically and the high points (for example, at element 4) are positively charged so that the pieces not only fit into each other because of their shape but they also affix themselves to each other because of their magnetic charge.



FIG. 2A is similar to FIG. 1A except it has a wavy bottom (6, 7). It fits into itself in the manner shown in FIG. 14.



FIG. 2B is a view from the bottom of the undulating bottom (8, 9) of the tray shown in FIG. 2A. As with the edges of the tray at FIG. 1B, elements 4 and 5, the undulating bottom at FIG. 2B is also magnetized so that the object affixes itself to other objects just like itself and to other undulating surface objects that are part of the invention. As with the charges of protruding and receding edges at elements 4 and 5, the protruding undulation at element 8 is positively charged and the receding undulation at element 9 is negatively charged so they can fit into each other and into other undulating pieces in the invention and also be affixed to each other magnetically with pieces that have opposite magnetic charges attracting each other.



FIG. 2C is a side view of the undulating tray (10, 11) with a wavy bottom (12, 13) that is shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B.



FIG. 3A is similar to the prior pieces except its undulating sides (14, 15) are on a sphere (16) and not a cylindrical shape like the prior shapes. It fits into itself and into other pieces in the manner generally shown in FIGS. 15 and 16.



FIG. 3B is a view from the bottom of the spherical undulating tray (16, 17) shown in FIG. 3A.



FIG. 3C is similar to the view of the tray shown in FIG. 3A except the view in FIG. 3C is more from the side.

FIG. 7 is similar to FIG. 6A except it has a female screw interface in the middle center of itself (28) into which the shaft that is FIG. 8A (at element 29) can be screwed as shown in in FIG. 9A at element 30. Another flexible shape that is FIG. 7 can then be screwed onto the top of FIG. 9A to form a sphere as is shown in FIG. 9B.



FIG. 8A is a profile view of a shaft that can be screwed into FIG. 7 in the manner shown in FIG. 9A at element 30.

FIG. 9B is a depiction of how another undulating half bowl in the form of the bowl shown in FIG. 7 can be screwed on to the top of the pieces assembled in FIG. 9A to form a sphere.



FIG. 10A is a platter with undulating sides (31, 32) that fit into themselves in the manner shown in FIG. 12.



FIG. 10B is a view more from the top of the platter (33) shown in FIG. 10A.



FIG. 1I A is a half sphere (34) with undulating sides (35, 36) that fit into themselves in a manner similar to FIG. 9 except FIG. 11A has more undulations (35, 36).



FIG. 11B is a view more from the side of the half sphere shown in FIG. 11A.



FIG. 11C is a profile view of the half sphere with undulating sides (37, 38) shown in FIG. 11A.



FIG. 13 is an example of how FIG. 5A (at element 39) holds FIG. 6A (40) as a lid.



FIG. 12 through 17 are examples of how the different pieces fit into themselves into one stable stacked column despite the differences in undulation steepness and despite the differences in undulating patterns that certain of the pieces have.



FIG. 14 is an example of how FIG. 2A fits into FIG. 1A.



FIG. 15 is an example of how FIG. 3B (43) fits into (44) FIG. 14 (45).



FIG. 16 is an example of how FIG. 3B (46) fits into (47) FIG. 15 (48).

FIG. 18A is a profile view of an example of how FIG. 3A (60) stacks in a fitted manner (61) to save space (i.e., one piece fits into another piece (61), which in turn fits into another piece (62, 63) like stacked paper cups).



FIG. 18B is a view from the side of the pieces (64, 65, 66, 67) stacked in the manner shown in FIG. 18A.



FIG. 18C is a view from the bottom (68) of the pieces (69, 70, 71, 72) stacked in the manner shown in FIG. 18A.



FIG. 19 is a demonstration of how pieces with different steepness in their undulations (73, 74) fit together in a stable manner (75, 76).



FIG. 20A is an example of how the Invention's features have dimensions whose ratio to the rest of the Invention object creates sizes that are always divisible by two for ease of design. For example, if the diameter of a bowl is 128 millimeters (77), then the lips (78) will be 4 millimeters. If FIG. 1A has a diameter of 128 millimeters (77) then the full distance covered by the undulating sides (from the lowest point of undulation at element 79 to the highest point at element 80) will cover 16 millimeters. To fit into themselves, the undulations always must be of an even number (i.e. two protruding undulations in FIG. 1A, four undulations in FIG. 3A and so on). The standard and even nature of these numbers allows them to be easily understood so that they can be adapted to be used by others, so that the objects can be manufactured with more ease by following standard conventions, and so that they can be combined together more easily. For example, FIG. 20A combines two kinds of undulating edges (81, 82): the undulating sides of FIG. 3A (four protruding bumps, one of which is at element 81) are combined with the undulating sides of FIG. 11A (with eight protruding bumps, one of which is at element 82).



FIG. 20B is a view more from the top of the undulating platter (83) shown in FIG. 20A.



FIG. 21A is FIG. 20A except that the dimensions on one of its horizontal axes (84) is one-fourth less than the dimensions of the other horizontal axis (85). This gives it an oval shape.



FIG. 21B is a profile view of the object shown in FIG. 21A.



FIG. 21C is a view from the top (86) and to one side of the object shown in FIG. 21A.

When the other end of the string is also inserted through another FIG. 30 and the same FIG. 31A (126), all the pieces (127, 128, 129) can be snapped shut in the manner shown in FIG. 32A. In this way the string can be a necklace and the hand holding a heart can be how the necklace snaps together.

The assembled hands (that appear in FIGS. 32 and 33 at 142 and 143, for example) are a symbol of how two people come together because the hand arrangement cannot be made by one person. The hands must both be of the same side (i.e., two right hands or two left hands, not one person's right and left hands being held together).


The simplicity of design and standard relationship of the features to each other give the pieces an elegance, and make it easier for others to design and use. Others can combine the bowls, combine features of the bowls, and those different combinations can be more easily manufactured with a wide range of objects because of the standard and simple relationship of the pieces to each other and of the features' relationship to each other.

A bowl set comprising a plurality of objects that are solid and load-bearing, capable of sustaining loads of 100 lbs. or more,wherein the objects include smooth bowls with smooth undulating edges on the top lips of the bowl edges and smooth undulations on the bottom that extend radially from the center in a manner that allows them to fit into themselves;wherein protruding undulations on the smooth bowls with smooth undulating edges and smooth undulations on the bottom are positively charged magnetically and receding undulations on the smooth bowls are negatively charged so the bowls are also lids of other bowls because of their shapes and because they affix to each other magnetically;wherein solid smooth load bearing oval-shaped smooth bowls have undulations on the top lips of the bowls that allow them to fit into other oval-shaped bowls in a reversible manner to form enclosed oval bowls with grooves on the bottom and top of the oval bowls so they reversibly fit into the bottom or top of other oval-shaped bowls to build strong compact constructions, larger constructions of pillars, rows of pillars that form stable load-bearing walls and staggered enclosed oval-shaped bowls that form strong walls;wherein fingers extend from the top edge of a finger bowl to intersect in a reversible and stable manner with fingers from other finger bowls with the same shape, and one of the fingers has a ring on it that is a snap that snaps in a reversible manner with the ring on the finger of another finger bowl when they are affixed together in a reversible manner on account of both finger bowls having the same shaped finger with a ring that hooks into the other finger with a ring to form a snap;wherein the insides of the smooth bowls have lips protruding inward that allows a separate object in the shape of a heart to be placed inside two bowls that are fitted together as a bowl and a lid such that the heart will snap the two bowls together;wherein the smooth bowls are of a size that is appropriate for serving food without residual food getting stuck in crevasses or can be of other sizes to make smooth jewelry, stackable toys, and puzzles.
  • 3. A building set comprising a plurality of solid load-bearing circular or spherical objects capable of sustaining loads of 100 lbs. or more with dimensions that make it easier to store the objects and control the objects to build constructions;wherein the spherical objects assemble into hollow spheres that transport building materials through the constructions by rolling through the constructions while they are being built;wherein the hollow spheres that transport building materials also build the constructions to economize on cost, space and resources for controlling, storing and transporting building materials;wherein the objects include circular bowls with undulating lips on the top of the bowls and undulating surfaces on the bottom of the bowls with undulations that extend radially from the center wherein the circular bowls stack on top of each other in a stable manner with objects of the same size or of larger or smaller sizes to make walls that are also storage containers and that have insulation qualities because they have empty space inside solid sturdy stable constructions;wherein the objects are in the shape of bowls, platters, discs, or plates that stack and assemble in secure ways with smooth undulating interfaces that interface with other smooth undulating surfaces extending radially from the center of the bottom of objects or from the edges of the tops of objects of the same size, or of different sizes and different undulating heights, magnet interfaces, or snap interfaces to form a wide range of useful human constructions that include walls, pillars, decorative sturdy durable landscape constructions that stand up to the elements that stack in a stable, smooth and secure way with objects of the same size or of larger or smaller sizes that also do not allow for dirt or debris to get stuck in crevasses.
