Abstract

This is a multi-tubular container for transporting, storing and securing materials such as rolled plans, blueprints, maps, charts, art work, or anything else one desires to deposit into a container which shields the contents from the elements and yet are readily accessible by authorized persons such as office personnel, building inspectors, foremen, or superintendentants of any building project. The invention consists of an opted number of elongated, hollow, tubular receptacles that are assembled together by a connection process with two multi-encircling flat flange plates. Closure of the two ends of each receptacle is facilitated by the use of snugly fitting caps or covers. The bottom cap shall be a permanent seal but still could be openable if one so desires. The top cap although snug may be pulled off easily by hand for convenient access to the contents. For field use, the removeable cover cap is attached to the tubal unit with an optional retainer line as not to be misplaced when unit is opened. A combination of tubes may be secured within the assembly by use of varied sizes and configurations of flanges making this container lightweight, secure and safe, convenient and simple and sorely needed in the engineering field. This unit may be conveniently mounted on or in a work truck or set next to a desk in an office or in a boat for easy access by engineers, draftsmen, architects, plan checkers, sailors or anyone else involved with rolled plans, blueprints, maps, charts, or art work of any kind.
