The present invention relates to the storage and display of objects, mainly fishing lures. The invention disclosed herein relates to the organization, management and display of objects to assist in the storage and use of lures, and other objects, through the disposition of an aperture associated with such an object over an apparatus. In the application of storage and display of fishing lures, the present disclosure allows for identification and selection of lures while maintaining the lures separately and in a hanging orientation maintaining the form or the lure consistent with how such a lure is pulled through the water when used.
Claims11
An apparatus for the storage of fishing lures through the eyelet of the lure comprising:
- a peg, having a constant cross-sectional profile elongated along a longitudinal axis of said peg from a proximal end of said peg to a distal end of said peg;
- a wire having a proximal end and a distal end, with said proximal end of said wire transecting said peg;
- said wire having a proximal portion within said peg and a distal cantilevered portion extending from said peg;
- said wire having a diameter-increasing element along said cantilevered portion;
- said diameter-increasing element having a diameter greater than the diameter of said wire;
- said diameter-increasing element affixed to said wire,
- wherein said diameter-increasing element having a diameter that retains a lure when the eye of said lure is disposed over said wire and said diameter-increasing element;
- and
- a mounting surface;
- said mounting surface comprising a plurality of apertures;
- said apertures having a cross-sectional profile that matches a cross-section of said peg creating an interference fit, wherein said peg is retained within the aperture.
