Abstract

A multi-compartment case includes at least two separate compartments. One compartment is of sufficient size to accommodate at least one rifle or shotgun. The case includes at least one further compartment for clothes, boots, gear, etc., having an interior separate from the interior of the gun compartment. Each compartment can be independently opened, with the interiors of the compartments all being isolated from one another when closed.

1 . A multi-compartment case comprising: 
 a first compartment sized to accommodate at least one of a rifle or a shotgun;    a first lid attached to the first compartment and movable between an open position allowing access to an interior of the first compartment and a closed position for enclosing the interior of the first compartment;    a second compartment;    a second lid attached to the second compartment and movable between an open position allowing access to an interior of the second compartment and a closed position for enclosing the interior of the second compartment;    wherein each of the lids can be opened and closed independently of the other lid and when the two lids are in the closed positions, the interiors of the first and second compartments are sealed and isolated from one another to prevent contents from one compartment entering the other compartment.    
   
   
       2 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 a main body, the first and second compartments being incorporated into the main body.    
   
   
       3 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 2 , wherein the first and second compartments are positioned on opposite sides of the main body.  
   
   
       4 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 2 , wherein the first and second compartments are positioned on a same side of the main body.  
   
   
       5 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein the first compartment is shallower than the second compartment.  
   
   
       6 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the compartments includes at least one movable interior partition wall for partitioning the compartment.  
   
   
       7 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the compartments runs an entire depth of the case.  
   
   
       8 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , and further comprising: 
 a third compartment; and    a third lid attached to the third compartment and movable between an open position allowing access to an interior of the third compartment and a closed position for enclosing the interior of the third compartment;    wherein the third lid can be opened and closed independently of the other lids and when the lids are in the closed positions, the interiors of each of the first, second and third compartments are sealed and isolated from one another to prevent contents from one compartment entering the other compartment.    
   
   
       9 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein the first compartment is sized to accommodate at least two guns of a rifle or shotgun type.  
   
   
       10 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein the case is a rigid case.  
   
   
       11 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 10 , wherein the case is constructed of metal.  
   
   
       12 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , and further comprising: 
 at least one latch for maintaining at least one of the lids in a closed position; and    at least one hinge attached between the lid and its respective compartment to allow the lid to be pivoted between the open and closed positions.    
   
   
       13 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 12 , and further comprising: 
 a plurality of latches positioned around a periphery of the respective compartment for maintaining the at least one lid in a closed position.    
   
   
       14 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein the case is dimensioned so as to fall within airline restrictions for checked luggage.  
   
   
       15 . The multi-compartment case of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the compartments includes a waterproof liner.
