Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation in part of and claims priority from application Ser. No. 10/992,493, filed Nov. 16, 2004, entitled “STORAGE CASE”, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
- The present disclosure generally relates to utility cases, and more particularly, to a utility case for storage and transport of articles which includes vertically offset holding units.
- Conventional utility cases provide receptacles defined in various orientations and configurations for the storage and transport of articles, as discussed in application Ser. No. 10/992,493, which has been incorporated by reference. However, one disadvantage of such conventional utility cases is the lack of receptacle density. Aside from the storage case from which this application claims priority, easy access to a compact, high density configuration of storage receptacles is not found in conventional utility cases. As a result, conventional utility cases are larger than necessary, require the use of more materials (resin if made of plastics), have a lot of unusable space or volume on a percentage basis and have difficulty accommodating articles having a non-standard configuration.
- One example of an article having a non-standard shape, which will be used throughout this disclosure, as was in application Ser. No. 10/992,493, which has been incorporated by reference, is a particular variety of artificial fish baits (i.e., lures) that have a relatively large, generally planar element depending from the lure. The depending element is generally called a blade or a spoon, and the lures are commonly referred to as spinner bait, because of the spinning action of the spoon-shaped blade when the lure is pulled through the water by a fisherman. More specifically, the disclosure is directed to discrete storage and transport of articles having a non-standard configuration, so that a given article can be selectively retrieved without risk that the selected article will be entangled with the other articles or without removing other articles to obtain access to the desired article.
- Throughout this disclosure, spinner bait fishing lures will be used as an example of an article having a non-standard shape. It is within the teachings of this disclosure and will be recognized by those of skill in the art that any other suitable article having a non-standard or standard configuration or dimension may be substituted therefor. Those of ordinary skill in the art will also recognize that this disclosure shall not be limited to the example of the spinner bait as disclosed. Rather, the spinner bait fishing lure is useful to facilitate description of the utility case disclosed herein. A more detailed description of the structure and function of a spinner bait fishing lure and other conventional storage apparatus is set forth in application Ser. No. 10/992,493, which has been incorporated by reference.
- Therefore, there exists a need in the art for a utility case for storage and transport of articles that provides a compact, high density configuration of storage receptacles and overcomes disadvantages described above but also uses less material, is easier to assemble and is less costly and provides improved performance in use.
- Certain embodiments are shown in the drawings. However, it is understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the arrangements and instrumentality shown in the attached drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a utility case in accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the utility case ofFIG. 1 illustrating a first storage compartment; and -
