Abstract: A cylindrical utility box includes a circular floor with a central cylindrical shaft extending perpendicularly from the center of the floor. One or more storage trays, each having a wedge-shaped section removed therefrom, are fitted over the shaft. A rotatable cover substantially is fitted over the uppermost storage tray, and a handle is secured to the cylindrical shaft to carry the utility box. Additional storage trays can be added to the utility box by extending the length of the cylindrical shaft, with one or more shaft extension sections.

Abstract: A tackle box (10) is disclosed that includes a rotatable cover (20), one or more storage trays (30), each having a substantially three-quarter circular periphery, a bottom tray (40), and central shaft (50) for vertically stacking and mounting the storage tray or trays and rotatable cover to the bottom tray. Access to the tackle boxes compartments is made by rotating the cover and/or the storage trays. The side walls of the bottom tray and storage tray or trays in combination with the bottom tray floor and rotatable cover form the exterior surface of the tackle box. the number of storage trays that are included in the tackle box may be varied by changing a point of connection between the central shaft and the bottom tray.
