ABSTRACT:
A tackle box with a plurality of independently pivotal trays oriented in a tiered arrangement and provided with a side closure for each side of the box. In one embodiment, the tackle box housing includes a bottom member, a pair of end members upstanding from the bottom member connected by connecting walls to form a U-shaped structure, a generally U-shaped flanged end receiver coupling pairs of the end members, a top support channel bridging the tackle box housing and supported at its ends by a top support adapter connected to the U-shaped end receiver, a carrying handle on the top support channel, a central divider secured to the bottom member and fastened to the top support channel and handle, a series of bait trays having opposite ends pivoted to the end member and a side cover assembly including a guide bar and an interlocking lip disposed to be received within an adjacent space. When in its extended position, the side cover assembly extends as a cover peripherally of the tackle box housing and has a series of snap buttons at the lower edge thereof for engaging a snap button arrangement on a hingedly provided side door thereby completing respective closure coverings for the tackle box. In another embodiment, an articulated hinged side cover is provided to fold back and allow access to the trays in the tackle box, thereby greatly simplifying the structure.
