BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An angler, who may be walking from lake to lake, usually desires to keep his gear organized and ready for use when he reaches the waterfront. Many anglers keep their lures attached to the line of their fishing rod. This can cause trouble, if, for example, a lure comes loose from the rod. Also, when the fishing rod is transported, lures can tangle with each other and/or the fishing line. This, of course, can be inconvenient and highly irritating for the fisherman.
With the present invention, a fisherman can store his lures or bait in a way that prevents them from coming loose and get entangled.
At the same time, manufacturers of fishing lures can pack their products in a useful carrying box, that might be of value for anglers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The presently claimed can be taken off or fastened to a fishing rod or pole with a simple action. To accomplish this, the bottom of the lure box has such a shape, that it fits an attachment which is glued or taped on the rod.
The lure box also has a cover, which may be hinged on the box. In the gable of the box there is a opening so, that a line or a trace can enter. Other holes could also be needed so that lures or line held therein do not rust or rot.
Part of the attachment device for attaching the lure box is designed to be led into the box or matching openings in the bottom of the box so, that the lure box becomes fastened to the rod. Corresponding passages are thus made in the box in one of the gables and/or along the bottom of the box. Some kind of arrangement us provided to align the lure box in parallel to the rod.
In an advantageous design, a stick portion fastened to the rod is used to engage the lure box in parallel with the rod portion can extend along the whole lure box and provides a good parallel alignment with the rod. The lure box is engaged to stick portion by slidingly inserting a pointed end of the stick portion into the outer bottom part of the lure box, such as into a groove formed therein.
For the alignment of the box along the attachment device, some kind of grooves or slits in the box are needed. If there a penetration of the box from one gable to be used, grooves or slits are made on the inside of the box's bottom. Dovetail slots or the like can instead be found on the outside of the box's bottom if the attachment device has corresponding fitting flanges.
In addition, there might be some kind of blocking arrangement to prevent the box from slipping off the attachment.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
A box is shown schematically in perspective in FIG. 1, where the box is disconnected from its attachment device on the rod. The lid of the box is closed, and the attachment device is put in place in FIG. 2.
FIG. 3 is an exploded drawing of the box.
FIG. 4 shows one kind of attachment device with a stick segment.
A section of a box mounted on an attachment device is shown in FIG. 5.
One can see some gables of boxes on sticks in FIGS. 6 and 7.
An other design of the attachment device with a modified box is shown in FIG. 8.
Finally a modification of the attachment device in FIG. 4 is shown in FIG. 9.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An advantageous design of the invented box for lures and the like is shown with an open lid in FIG. 1. The box 1 has a lid 2. On the latter a locking flap 3 can be seen. There is a rise 4 inwardly formed in the bottom of the box, which rise extends from at least one gable of the box some length along the box. The rise ends with a groove 5. Below the box in FIG. 1, an attachment device to fasten the box 1 to a fishing rod is shown. This attachment device consists of half a cylinder 6, one longitudinal beam 7, and, above the beam 7, a stick or rod 8. The leading part 9 of the stick is conical or otherwise tapered. On the box there is a venthole 10, which over a slit 11 is connected to the brim of the box.
The lid 2 is closed over the box 1 in FIG. 2. The lid 2 is hinged on one of the long sides of the box. This can be performed in many ways; here a hinge is made when manu
