Abstract: An animal treat delivery system includes a multi-part body having an interior volume and baffle portions within the body that divide the interior volume of the body into compartments having openings therebetween that facilitate at least indirect communication between the compartments. A first recess is formed in a first part of the body and a second recess is formed in a second part of the body. An exit hole positioned within the first recess communicates with an exit compartment, included within the compartments, such that animal treats within the exit compartment can be discharged from the body via the exit hole. A lever that is integrated in one part of the body includes an end that is externally accessible via one of the recesses and is configured to releasably engage a structure in the other part of the body to facilitate coupling and uncoupling the first and second parts.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an animal treat dispenser includes a treat container having an aperture, an aperture adjustment mechanism that is capable of varying an effective size of the aperture to regulate passage of animal treats through the aperture, and a plush toy at least partially covering the treat container.

Abstract: A container apparatus and method includes an exterior form, with an outside and an inside, the exterior form surrounding an interior form with a compartment wherein the exterior form includes at least one space for containing items on the inside and wherein the compartment includes at least one space for containing items. At least one opening is provided in the interior form and at least one opening is provided in the exterior form.

Abstract: An animal treat method includes placing at least one animal treat into an interior compartment of a container having an opening through which the at least one animal treat can be dispensed. A first interlocking closure member is inserted at least partially within the interior compartment and extends through the opening to an exterior of the container. A second interlocking closure member is removably secured to the first interlocking closure member and over the opening, such that dispensing of animal treats from the interior compartment via the opening is impeded.

Abstract: A closure apparatus for restricting access to an opening of a container includes a first interlocking closure member having an elongate body having at least one external thread and an edible second interlocking closure member having a body sized to restrict access to an opening in a container. The body has a threaded recess having at least one internal thread formed therein to removably couple the second interlocking closure member to the first interlocking closure member by engaging the external thread of the first interlocking closure member.

Abstract: A flying disc has a radially symmetric form having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface includes a raised central portion, a flat annular ring encompassing the raised central portion, and a raised rim extending above and encompassing the flat annular ring. A maximum height of the central raised portion above the flat annular ring is no greater than a height of the raised rim.

Abstract: A container apparatus includes a container having an interior compartment and an opening communicating with the interior compartment. A first interlocking closure member extends at least partially within the compartment through the opening to an exterior of the container. A second interlocking closure member is removably secured to the first interlocking closure member and covering the opening, such that items placed within the interior compartment are restricted from being dispensed via the opening.
