Fishing lure tray with hinged cover

摘要

An upwardly opening rectangular tray including front, rear and opposite side walls is provided and includes a bottom wall extending between and interconnecting the lower marginal portions of the upstanding walls. The front wall terminates upwardly in a generally horizontally forwardly projecting flange extending therealong and the forward extremity of the flange terminates in an upwardly projecting flange whose upper marginal portion is provided with upwardly opening notches spaced therealong. The front wall of the tray includes forwardly projecting upstanding ribs projecting outwardly therefrom and spaced along the front wall. The ribs project forwardly outwardly beyond the forwardly projecting and upstanding flange and the tray includes a cover movable into position overlying the upper marginal edges of the front, rear and opposite side walls. The cover includes an upwardly projecting flange extending along a forward marginal edge thereof and terminating upwardly in a horizontal forwardly projecting lip overlying the notched upper marginal portion of the upstanding flange. The notches are spaced centrally intermediate pairs of adjacent ribs and the spaces between adjacent ribs are adapted to receive the body portions of plug-type lures with the curved portions of the barbed hooks of the lures seated in the aforementioned notches and the barbed terminal ends of the hooks received between the upwardly projecting flange of the cover and the upstanding flange of the tray within the vertical spacing between the upper forwardly projecting lip of the cover and the horizontally forwardly projecting flange of the tray.
