Fishing box with detachable casings

Abstract

The modular box defines a longitudinal axis and comprises a main elongated container, at least one casing selectively releasably attached to the main container, and an elongated handle attached to the container. The handle comprises a handlebar of a length shorter than or equal to that of the container and of a cross-sectional surface being sized for allowing a person to manually grasp the handlebar, with the person's fingers and hand capable of entirely surrounding the handlebar. The handle further comprises spacer elements attaching the handlebar to the container in a spaced relationship therewith for allowing a person's fingers to extend between the handlebar and the container. The handlebar extends along a substantial portion of the length of the modular box along the longitudinal axis and allows the modular box to be carried by the handlebar approximately at the longitudinal position of the center of gravity of the modular box notwithstanding the longitudinal weight repartition within the modular box.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A modular box defining a longitudinal axis and comprising: 
 a main elongated container;    at least one casing selectively releasably attachable to said main container; and    an elongated handle attached to said container, said handle comprising a handlebar of a length shorter than or equal to that of said container and of a cross-sectional surface being sized for allowing a person to manually grasp said handlebar, with the person's fingers and hand capable of entirely surrounding said handlebar, and spacer elements attaching said handlebar to said container in a spaced relationship therewith for allowing a person's fingers to extend between said handlebar and said container;    wherein said handlebar extends along a substantial portion of the length of said modular box along said longitudinal axis and allows said modular box to be carried by said handlebar approximately at the longitudinal position of the center of gravity of said modular box notwithstanding the longitudinal weight repartition within said modular box.    
     
     
         2 . A modular box as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said handlebar comprises a hollow tubular body for releasable engagement therein of the shaft of a landing net.  
     
     
         3 . A fishing box for carrying fishing gear and defining a longitudinal axis, comprising: 
 a main elongated container;    at least a first casing releasably attachable to said main container; and    an elongated handle attached to said container and extending along a substantial portion of the length of said fishing box and allowing said fishing box to be carried by said handle approximately at the longitudinal position of the center of gravity of said fishing box notwithstanding the longitudinal weight repartition within said fishing box, said handle comprising an elongated handlebar of a length shorter than or equal to that of said container, sand handlebar being spacedly attached to said container by means of spacer elements.    
     
     
         4 . A fishing box as defined in  claim 3 , wherein said handle comprises a hollow tubular body for releasable engagement therein of the shaft of a landing net.  
     
     
         5 . A fishing box as defined in  claim 3 , further comprising a second casing releasably attachable to said main container.  
     
     
         6 . A fishing box as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said main elongated container comprises a thicker first end portion and a thinner extension defining a single inner compartment and a shoulder on said thicker first end portion adjacent said thinner extension, said first casing being releasably attachable onto said container thinner extension and abutting against said shoulder, and said second casing being releasably attachable onto said container thinner extension coextensively with said first casing and abutting there against.
