  • Patent number: 4155477
    Abstract: Small trays may conveniently be used, in the packaging of items such as fishing lures, for re-use in containing such items and holding them securely and conveniently. For this purpose a stacking tray, used in combination with like stacking trays, has a molded plastic body having rhomboid-shaped parallel upper and lower sides forming opposite acute angle corners. The upper side has a plurality of integrally molded container-like portions and, at each acute angle corner, has upward-extending pivot pins. The lower side has, directly beneath one pivot pin, an upward-extending bore which snap-accepts a pivot pin to permit an overlying tray to rotate from above an underlying tray, and directly beneath the other pivot pin a track is formed in an arc about the bore to slideably accept a pivot pin, the track extending to open ends at the outer side of the body. The track has, beneath the pivot pin, a detent to latch underlying and overlying trays aligned in registration, forming a closed container.

  • Patent number: 4141170
    Abstract: For use with a conventional type jig head resembling the head of a minnow or other natural prey, a fishing lure molded integrally of a resilient material has a body, with a forward extending transition flap and a wing portion. These bend upward over the front end of the body and backward to form a movable wing. As assembled, the hook of the jig head penetrates and anchors the folded transition flap against the body; and its projecting hook emerges at the top of the body and passes through an opening in the wing.A method of integrally molding the body and wing in two colors is disclosed in which a deeper mold cavity portion is used to form the body of the lure and a shallower mold portion contiguous with it forms the transition flap and wing. Moldable material of one coloration fills the deeper cavity portion and is allowed to partially cure or set.
