  • Patent number: 6814233
    Abstract: A container has article-holding cells, holding articles, each cell being closed along a top wall, a bottom wall, and one or more longitudinal closure side walls, as well as having one or more open sides. The cells pivot with respect to each other, on hinges. The containers have an enclosing configuration, and an open configuration, preferably a plurality of potential open configurations. In open configurations, closure side walls can have free edges adjacent each other, or closure side walls bearing free edges are adjacent each other, or open side walls provide access to contained articles about substantially a full circle about the longitudinal axis of the container, or the container exposes more than 180 degrees of open wall, and/or article holders hold the articles against unintended falling out at any orientation of the container.

  • Patent number: 6564791
    Abstract: A quiver has arrow-holding cells, holding arrows, each cell closed along a top wall, a bottom wall, and one or more longitudinal closure sidewalls, as well as having one or more open sides. The cells pivot with respect to each other, on hinges. The quivers have an enclosing configuration, and an open configuration, preferably a plurality of potential open configurations. In open configurations, closure side walls can have free edges adjacent each other, or closure side walls bearing free edges are adjacent each other, or open side walls provide access to arrows about substantially a full circle about the longitudinal axis of the quiver, or the quiver exposes more than 180 degrees of open wall, and/or arrow holders hold the arrows against unintended falling out at any orientation of the quiver.
