A tackle box has a horizontal stack of upstanding rectangular housing units. The stack can be opened like a fan for access to contents, as adjacent units are hinged by vertical hinge pins. The pins are readily removable so units can be added or deleted as desired by fishermen. A handle anchor slot in the top of each unit, and flexible carrying handle, facilitate carrying the stack.

A tackle box comprising: a plurality of generally rectangular housing units stacked horizontally, each of said units having a top and at least one generally straight upstanding hinge side, with hinge means vertically spaced along said side and connected to hinge means on a next adjacent unit, each of said units being thereby hingedly connected to the next adjacent unit, a carrying handle at the top of at least one of said units, said hinge means having vertical hinge axes and each of said units having a swing side horizontally spaced from the hinge side, the swing sides of adjacent units being horizontally separable from each other to permit access to interiors of said units while hinge sides thereof remain connected to next adjacent units, said hinge means being constructed to facilitate intentional disconnection of one of said units from the unit next adjacent to it, each of said units having a hinge edge meeting a hinge edge of the next adjacent unit, the hinge means including at least one hinge loop on each hinge edge, each loop having a circular aperture with a loop axis, the hinge loops on meeting hinge edges having their loop axes colinear and vertical, and top headed hinge pins received through the apertures of hinge loops having colinear axes to hingedly connect said loops together, but said pins being readily removable upwardly from said hinge loop apertures, to facilitate connection and disconnection of one of said units to another of said units without tools, a handle receiver on the top of each of said units, said handle having a central hand receiver portion and having end portions attachable to any of said receivers and attached to said handle receivers on at least two of said units, said handle being alterable between said hand receiver portion and said end portions to facilitate spanning greater and lesser numbers of units of said plurality of units, intermediate the two units to which said end portions are attached.
