US Patent:

6574906, Jun 10, 2003

Filed:

Jun 28, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/340911

Inventors:

Walter Louis Meier - Cumming GA

Assignee:

Inventive Designs, Ltd. - Cumming GA

International Classification:

A01K 9706

US Classification:

43 252

Abstract:

The present invention discloses containers for storing fishing lures, baited or unbaited hooks, terminal tackle, fishing accessories, bait, fishing lines and other fishing devices (âtarget objectsâ). The containers are designed for quick and efficient insertion of the target objects into the containers. Fasteners attached to such containers, in addition to closing the opening of the containers, allow for quick attachment and detachment of the containers to and from a fishing rod, thereby capturing and retaining line and thus minimizing entanglement. These fastening devices may also be used to attach the containers to other non-rod objects such as boats or clothing for immediate access to or storage of target objects. All versions of containers may be formed of at least partially clear plastic or other materials for ready identification of the contained materials.
