The plurality of annular covers is defined by an outer perimeter, wherein each of the annular cover comprises a containment face and a base face, wherein at least one protrusion and at least one depression are coupled to the annular cover. The outer lip is disposed to extend along the outer perimeter and extending from the containment face. The at least one protrusion is disposed in general alignment with the at least one depression, whereby the at least one protrusion is configured to form a snap-fit relationship with the at least one depression. The containment face from one of the plurality of annular covers, and the base face from another one of the plurality of annular covers are detachably connected, forming an inner cavity and a stacked arrangement of annular covers. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A stackable sawblade containment assembly, comprising: a plurality of annular covers defined by an outer perimeter, wherein each individual annular cover comprises a containment face and a base face, wherein at least one protrusion and at least one depression are coupled to the annular cover; an outer lip disposed to extend along the outer perimeter and extending from the containment face; and a top cover comprising at least one depression and lacks any protrusion, wherein the top cover comprises a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface is flat; whereby the at least one protrusion is disposed in general alignment with the at least one depression, whereby the at least one protrusion is configured to form a snap-fit relationship with the at least one depression, whereby the containment face from one of the plurality of annular covers, and the base face from another one of the plurality of annular covers are detachably connected, forming an inner cavity and a stacked arrangement of annular covers. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a flange disposed to extend from the outer perimeter of the plurality of annular covers. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a flange cover defined by a ridged edge, wherein the flange comprises a flange depression defined by a depressed edge, the flange cover is configured to cover the flange depression, whereby the ridged edge of the flange cover forms a snap-fit relationship with the depressed edge of the flange depression. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the flange depression is configured to enable retention of a tag. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the tag is configured to identify the plurality of annular covers and the at least one sawblade, the tag further configured to position in the flange depression. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the flange depression has a generally rectangular shape. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one depression are located at the flange. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the flange comprises an elongated slot. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a flat extension disposed to extend from the outer perimeter of the plurality of annular covers. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the flat extension is diametrically opposed from the flange. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the flat extension is configured to enable upright standing of the plurality of annular covers. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 9, further comprising at least one recess located on the flat extension. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one depression are located at the flat extension. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of annular covers is at least partially transparent. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of annular covers is fabricated from a polymer. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner cavity is defined by the outer lip and is adapted to enable containment of at least one sawblade. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 16, wherein the outer lip is configured to inhibit lateral shifting by the at least one sawblade. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 17, wherein the plurality of annular covers is configured to be stacked, and with each set of annular covers containing the at least one sawblade. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The stackable sawblade containment assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of annular covers has a diameter between the outer perimeters between 22 to 30 inches.
