Abstract A carrier for holding lures and flies has a box divided into compartments, and is received in an open top holder which has a backwall, a shorter front wall and sidewalls. The box is slidably secured in the holder through pins cooperating with elongated slots in the sides of the holder. Remote from the pins, the box has an outfolding lid hinged thereto and stops below the hinges so that the lid can serve as a horizontally disposed handling surface. Belt receiving slots are provided in the sidewalls of the holder adjacent the backwall for slidably receiving a belt secured to the wearer. The respective dimensions of the box and holder define a space therebetween which provides a sliding channel for the belt.
A lure and fly carrier adapted to be slidably supported on a wearer''s belt, comprising: an open top holder having sidewalls, a backwall and a shorter front wall, openings in said sidewalls adjacent said backwall for slidably receiving said belt; a container fitting in said holder, pivotally connected therewith and adapted to be withdrawn therefrom by outwardly pulling thereon and by being downswung about the pivotal connection to rest on the top of said front wall of said holder to lie thereon in a horizontally outwardly projecting position; a top closure for said container, a hinged connection therebetween remote from said pivotal connection and adapted to be opened by being pulled upwardly and outwardly from said container; stop means on said container below said hinged connection for locking said top closure in a horizontal position so that the same can serve as a work surface; a space forming a sliding channel for said belt between said backwall of said holder and said top closure when said container lies within said holder, said space being also provided between the back of said container and said backwall when said container is in operative position.
