Abstract
An apparatus includes an inner container having a baseplate and a cover, an outer container having a pod dome and a pod door, and a first set of pins and a second set of pins disposed on the pod door. The pod door has a locked state and an unlocked state. The first set of pins and the second set of pins are configured to support the baseplate. When the pod door is in the unlocked state and the first set of pins contacts the baseplate, a clearance is formed between the second set of pins and the baseplate. When the pod door is in the locked state, the first set of pins and the second set of pins contact the baseplate.
