Handle Conversion Unit

Abstract

An apparatus or method for securing and accessing storage containers. More particularly, and not by way of limitation, a handle or handle conversion unit with a tackle tray or hobby tray. The handle or handle conversion unit can include two coupling ends coupled to a rectangular section and at least two sets of protrusions extending from each end, each having an upper lip on the first protrusion and a lower lip on the second protrusion. Each set of protrusions can be placed at distal ends. Each upper lip may attach to the latches of the tray to form a hinge while each lower lip may grip the latches of the tray. The method may include the steps of attaching sets of protrusions to tackle tray latches.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A handle conversion unit comprising:
 a rectangular material having a first end and a second end that is distal from the first end;   a first set of protrusions at the first end; and   a second set of protrusions at the second end.   
     
     
         2 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 1 , wherein the rectangular material is of a sufficient thickness to prevent bending to occur, while also allowing for some flexibility. 
     
     
         3 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of protrusions are sized and configured to engage with a first latch of a tackle tray. 
     
     
         4 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 1 , wherein the second set of protrusions are sized and configured to engage with a second latch of a tackle tray. 
     
     
         5 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of protrusions has an end body. 
     
     
         6 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 5 , wherein the end body has a first lip and a second lip to engage with a tackle tray latch. 
     
     
         7 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 1 , wherein the second set of protrusions has a main body. 
     
     
         8 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 7 , wherein the end body has a first lip and a second lip to engage with a tackle tray latch. 
     
     
         9 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 6 , wherein the first lip and the second lip are each configured to engage with the tackle tray latch in a manner that allows it to be opened or closed when the handle conversion unit is coupled to the tackle tray. 
     
     
         10 . The handle conversion unit of  claim 8 , wherein the first lip and the second lip are each configured to engage with the tackle tray latch in a manner that allows it to be opened or closed when the handle conversion unit is coupled to the tackle tray. 
     
     
         11 . A handle for use with a tackle tray comprising:
 a first set of protrusions configured to grip a first latch of the tackle tray;   a second set of protrusions configured to grip a second latch of the tackle tray; and   a handle material that connects the first set of protrusions with the second set of protrusions.   
     
     
         12 . The handle of  claim 11 , wherein the handle material further comprises a gripping section. 
     
     
         13 . The handle of  claim 11 , wherein the handle material further comprises a finger lip. 
     
     
         14 . A method of converting a tackle tray comprising:
 attaching a first set of protrusions to a first tackle tray latch; and   attaching a second set of protrusions to a second tackle tray latch; wherein a connection section couples to the first set of protrusions and the second set of protrusions.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein attaching a first set of protrusions includes securing a first lip of a first protrusion, and engaging a second lip of a second protrusion. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein attaching a second set of protrusions includes securing a first lip of a first protrusion, and engaging a second lip of a second protrusion. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein attaching a first set of protrusions includes securing a first lip of a first protrusion to a top side of the first tackle tray latch and engaging a second lip of a second protrusion to a bottom side of the first tackle tray latch. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein attaching a second set of protrusions includes securing a first lip of a first protrusion to a top side of the second tackle tray latch and engaging a second lip of a second protrusion to a bottom side of the second tackle tray latch. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprises pulling on the connection section releasing the first tackle tray latch and the second tackle tray latch. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the first lip is attached to the first tackle tray latch by a hinge and the second lip grips the first tackle tray latch.
