Abstract
A tackle box has a box body with a hinged lid. The box body has a deeper front portion and a shallower back portion. Correspondingly, the lid has a deeper back portion and shallower front portion. The back portion of the box body carries a stack of interconnected slidably mounted superimposed trays which can be pulled out rearwardly cantilever fashion when the lid is opened. The front portion of the box body has superimposed pull-out drawers. The box has a bail-type pivoting handle with a lid-latching mechanism which only allows the lid to open when the handle is swung forward from a box-carrying position. In the top of the lid, there is a removable shallow carrying case which can be used separately from the box.
