an advantageous design of the invented box for lures and the like is shown with an open lid in fig1 . the box 1 has a lid 2 . on the latter a locking flap 3 can be seen . there is a rise 4 inwardly formed in the bottom of the box , which rise extends from at least one gable of the box some length along the box . the rise ends with a groove 5 . below the box in fig1 an attachment device to fasten the box 1 to a fishing rod is shown . this attachment device consists of half a cylinder 6 , one longitudinal beam 7 , and , above the beam 7 , a stick or rod 8 . the leading part 9 of the stick is conical or otherwise tapered . on the box there is a venthole 10 , which over a slit 11 is connected to the brim of the box . the lid 2 is closed over the box 1 in fig2 . the lid 2 is hinged on one of the long sides of the box . this can be performed in many ways ; here a hinge is made when manufacturing box as well as lid . this technique is well known by the skilled man . in fig3 some drawing views ( i . e ., top view and left , right , and front elevational views ) of a box without lid can be seen . according to these views , the depth of the box 1 is relatively small , but this is not characteristic for the invention . the depth of the box can easily be chosen by the skilled man and adapted to a desired volume . the rise 4 in the bottom of the box 1 is clearly seen in fig3 . the groove or slit 5 in the plane part of the bottom is also well displayed . in this figure , the length of the rise 4 and the slit 5 are each approximately equal to a third of the box &# 39 ; s length . this length relation is however not fixed for the invention . men skilled in the art can chose any length relation relative the size of the lures which are to be packed in the box . on some occasions , no rise is used as other designs of attachments come to use . the rise 4 is at least partially defined by a wall 12 with a hole 13 formed at one gable of the box . the width of the hole equals the diameter of the stick 8 with some additional clearance . it has been found that box and stick interrelate well even without the wall 12 , but in such cases it is advisable to make the slit 5 considerably longer . in fig4 the stick 8 attached to that over the beam 7 is fastened on half a circular cylinder 6 . the latter is supposed to be fastened on a fishing rod , pole or the like by some known method like tape or glue . the pin 8 ends with a conical part 9 to simplify the mounting of the box on the stick . the cooperation of the two parts , the stick 8 and the box 1 , is shown in fig5 where the stick has been hatched . it can be seen that the height of the beam 7 is a little larger than the thickness of the box &# 39 ; s bottom , which gives a secure attachment . the groove or slit 5 in the box is a little longer than the beam 7 . according to the present invention , the beam 7 orients the box 1 along the stick 8 . in addition , the conical or pointed part 9 of the stick simplifies the mounting of the box on the attachment device . men skilled in the art understand that the box 1 should be preferably mounted with the venthole 10 and adjoining slit 11 facing the point of the rod , away from the user . the pointed end of the stick will thus face the casting reel or the handle of the rod . from this alignment it follows that a lure or bait fastened to a line and stored in the closed box will force the box to stay on the attachment device if the line is pulled taut . also , during casting , the box will be forced to stay in place by centrifugal forces . nevertheless , some kind of locking device to anchor the box on the stick may be provided . in fig5 one example of a locking mechanism is shown . the conical part 9 of the stick 8 is long enough to be guided through a hole 14 in the right gable of the box . this part 16 of the stick is clearly shown in fig5 . the locking can , as the skilled individual understands , be performed by other methods like with grooves in the conical stick facing the bottom of the box . some rises of the bottom might then form a locking device between the box and the stick . the experienced artisan can however find other locking methods , which all are covered by the following claims . the experienced man might also use dovetail slots in the box to form a dovetail joint with the beam of the attachment device . this will give a secure fastening and guidance of the box . trials with a rise along the whole of the box &# 39 ; s bottom have given some good results , but the box has a tendency to rotate around the rod if the attachment device is not similar to the one described above . this kind of design is shown in fig6 . the walls 17 of the rise are parallel . a skilled individual understand that those walls could be produced in a way so , that they should meet on the opposite side of a rod . in fig7 two views of one box &# 39 ; s gable is shown . fig7 a is identical with one of the views in fig3 . one observes , that the bottom of the box is in contact with the stick . in fig7 b the stick is thinner , which makes it possible to lower the rise 4 in the bottom . however , the latter design gives less stability . the stick 8 shown in fig4 completing the beam 7 of the attachment device and facing the box , can , as skilled users understand , be replaced by , for example , flanges of a beam . this is shown from the side in fig9 where the upper part of fig4 shows the same device from above . the flanges 21 could be made in a dovetail shape matching a dovetail slot in the bottom of the box . the pointed part 9 of this dovetail simplifies the mounting of the box on the attachment device . keeping the venthole 10 for a line or trace the box can be fastened on a plane attachment device . this is shown in fig8 which has the same layout as fig3 and 4 . the different views of the box are shown at the top . here the hole 13 shown in the first box has been transformed into an laterally elongated opening 17 . through this opening , one leg 18 of the attachment device is guided into the box . preferably now the device has plate - like form with a profile that is shown below the box in fig8 . the other leg of the device is , after a short distance below the box , bent to form half a cylinder 20 , that , in a known way , may be fastened to a rod . the lid is not shown in this figure either , as it has no other function but to close the box . it is advantageous to produce the box and the lid in the same operation and form them from plastics . the chose of compound is left to the experienced . the beam with its stick 8 or flanges 21 together with the fastening half cylinder 6 is preferably also manufactured in one operation . using glue for the fastening process should be considered . the half cylinder 6 also has to be flexible enough so that the attachment device can be used on rods with varying diameters . other designs of the attachment device will be covered by the following claims . the dimensions of the box can be chosen by the skilled user considering the size of the lures or baits that are supposed to be packed and used during fishing . big wobblers need boxes with large volume whereas small spinners or spoons only need boxes of the size , for example , 8 × 4 × 4 cm . the invented box for lures like spinners and wobblers could imply an innovation in the marketing of those products . it is the goal for the inventor that those products by routine shall be packed in this kind of box . with a consistent fixed attachment device on separate rods boxes with different fishing baits should easily be changed on a rod , which simplifies its utility for anglers and fisherman . good order of gear can be thereby maintained without lures hooking or tangling with each other .
a fishing lure box is disclosed which can be mounted in a fixed position on a fishing rod , but which can be easily separated therefrom . the lure box is removably attached to an attachment device which is fixed to the fishing rod , especially by a convenient sliding action along a rod segment or along a beam portion having an engaging flange .
