ABSTRACT:
A holder for related items used in an activity where such items are likely to be used, includes a substantially planar base to be placed on a surface and an open top receptacle hinged to the base so that the receptacle can be tipped about the hinge with respect to the base. The hinge is positioned substantially along a lower side edge of the receptacle and provides resistance to tipping movement of the receptacle so a user can tip the receptacle with respect to the base and the receptacle will maintain the tipped position until readjusted by the user. A divider unit is preferably removably positioned in the receptacle to divide the receptacle into sections for organizing and holding items to be held. A coil spring has ends attached to the receptacle so that the spring assumes an arcuate position extending from a side of the receptacle to receive and hold elongate items. One top side edge of the receptacle may be lower than the other top side edges with the edges adjoining the lower side edge angled downwardly from an intermediate location along those edges. The lower edge provides a side of the receptacle for shorter items or for items to hang over the edge.
