ABSTRACT:
A portable carrying case (10) includes a hollow tube (12) having a length comparable to at least that of objects fitted into the tube for storage or transport. The tube has an interior wall (16) which is hexagonal. An end piece (20) permanently closes one end of the tube. An end cap (22) is insertable into the other end of the tube and is removable therefrom to secure an object in the tube. The end cap has a round post (26) which fits in the end of the tube. The tube has an annular groove (28) extending circumferentially about its interior wall. The post includes a locking member (30) extending radially outwardly from its side. The end cap is positioned in the tube with the locking member at a corner between adjacent sides (18a, 18b) of the hexagon. The end cap locks in place by pushing the post into the tube until the locking member is adjacent the groove, and then turning the end cap until the locking member is received in the groove.
