Abstract
Abstract A container comprising a first housing member and a second housing member which together form a pair of opposed exterior housing members cooperating to define an internal storage compartment pivotally mounted to each other for opening and closing movement about a pivot axis oriented transversely of and enclosed within one corner of said storage compartment, and Lshaped internal members, each of said L-shaped internal members having one end of one of the L-shaped members attached directly to and pivotally mounted on said pivot axis, whereby said Lshaped internal members are adapted to be successively pivoted through said opening movement preparatory to successive use of each, and whereby the legs that are directly attached to said pivot are in stacked side-by-side relationship when said container is closed and also when said container is open and all of said L-shaped members have been pivoted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A container for fishing lure and like paraphernalia comprising three upstanding exterior walls arranged so as to bound a generally rectangular internal volume having an open end, means defining a pivot axis located in said open end of said internal volume, the one of said exterior walls in facing relation to said pivot axis being angularly oriented, and plural substantially L-shaped paraphernalia supports formed by an intersecting shorter leg and a longer leg disposed within said internal volume such that corresponding ends of said shorter leg of said supports are pivotally mounted on said pivot axis and said supports are pivotally movable thereabout until the longer ends of said other legs thereof abut against said angularly oriented wall, whereby said abutting supports are supported in spaced relation by said angularly oriented wall to effectively subdivide said internal volume into plural storage compartments.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A container for fishing lure and like paraphernalia comprising three upstanding exterior walls arranged so as to bound a generally rectangular internal volume having an open end, means defining a pivot axis located in said open end of said internal volume, the one of said exterior walls in facing relation to said pivot axis being angularly oriented, and plural substantially L-shaped paraphernalia supports formed by an intersecting shorter leg and a longer leg disposed within said internal volume such that corresponding ends of said shorter leg of said supports are pivotally mounted on said pivot axis and said supports are pivotally movable thereabout until the longer ends of said other legs thereof abut against said angularly oriented wall, whereby said abutting supports are supported in spaced relation by said angularly oriented wall to effectively subdivide said internal volume into plural storage compartments.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said shorter legs of said L-shaped supports are in side by side relationship when said cOntainer is in the closed position and also when said container is in the open position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A container as defined in claim 2 wherein each said longer support leg has a spacing member projected from the free end thereof to the side opposite that of said shorter leg, said spacing members cooperating with each other to maintain said spaced relation of said supports in said pivoted positions thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
148 words
A first housing member and a second housing member, said members forming a container for fishing lure and like paraphernalia comprising a pair of opposed exterior housing members cooperating to define an internal storage compartment pivotally mounted to each other for opening and closing movement about a pivot axis oriented transversely of and enclosed within one corner of said storage compartment, and L-shaped internal members, each of said L-shaped internal members having one end of one of the L-shaped members attached directly to and pivotally mounted on said pivot axis, whereby said L-shaped internal members are adapted to be successively pivoted through said opening movement preparatory to successive use of each, and whereby the legs that are directly attached to said pivot are in stacked side-by-side relationship when said container is closed and also when said container is open and all of said L-shaped members have been pivoted.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
148 words
A first housing member and a second housing member, said members forming a container for fishing lure and like paraphernalia comprising a pair of opposed exterior housing members cooperating to define an internal storage compartment pivotally mounted to each other for opening and closing movement about a pivot axis oriented transversely of and enclosed within one corner of said storage compartment, and L-shaped internal members, each of said L-shaped internal members having one end of one of the L-shaped members attached directly to and pivotally mounted on said pivot axis, whereby said L-shaped internal members are adapted to be successively pivoted through said opening movement preparatory to successive use of each, and whereby the legs that are directly attached to said pivot are in stacked side-by-side relationship when said container is closed and also when said container is open and all of said L-shaped members have been pivoted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A container as defined in claim 4 wherein said second housing member has an angularly inclined wall in facing relation to said pivot axis effective to serve as a stop limiting closing pivotal movement of said internal members within said storage compartment.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A container as defined in claim 5 wherein said internal members have spacing members projected therefrom in said opening direction of movement effective to restrict opening pivotal movements of said members relative to each other to the size of said spacing members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
A container as defined in claim 6 wherein said members are L-shaped and have said spacing members projected from the free end of one leg thereof on the side opposite that of the other leg.
