Little bugger insect carrying and dispensing container

A container comprising two separate and equally sized chambers both of which are used to carry insects utilized in the sport of fishing. Both chambers comprise independent openings at each lateral extremity and are utilized to segregate insects of different types. To insert or remove insects, a threaded screw type cap is provided for each opening.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
This invention pertains to devices for carrying live bait to be used in 
fishing. The insects are to be transported in such a manner that different 
types of bait are kept separated. It is desired to provide a means for 
accomplishing this end. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
The invention comprises a cylindrical container of wire or other mesh. The 
container is divided into two separate compartments by a partition to 
allow segregation of different types of insects. An opening is provided at 
each end of the container; one for each compartment. A cap is provided for 
each opening and each cap is attached to the container by a cord to 
prevent loss. A carrying strap is attached to the container for ease of 
transport.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
The container comprises a cylindrical body portion 7, as seen in FIGS. 1 
and 2, formed of wire mesh, for example. A funnel-shaped end portion 5 is 
attached at each end of the cylindrical body portion 7 by suitable means. 
The funnel-shaped end portion may be the top of a dry gas can, for 
example. The end portions 5 are tapered away from the central body portion 
7 and are provided with threaded neck portions 4 and apertures 13. There 
is a removable cap 1 provided for each threaded neck portion 4. To prevent 
loss of the caps 1, each is connected to its respective funnel-shaped end 
portion 5 by a cord 3, such as gut or 40 lb. nylon cord, attached at 2 to 
the cap 1 and at 6 to the end portion 5. 
Within the central body portion 7 is provided a solid stationary wall or 
partition 9 formed of metal, for example. The partition 9 divides the 
container into two noncommunicating chambers so that each may house live 
bait of different types. 
Suitably secured to the outside of central body portion 7 over the 
partition 9 is an "omega" shaped wire 8 provided for attachment of a 
carrying strap 12. The strap 12 is connected to the wire 8 by suitable, 
conventional means such as hook swivel arrangement 10, 11 as shown in FIG. 
1. The provision of hooks 2, 6 at each end and the one 8 in the center 
provide alternative ways of carrying the container. 
The mesh for the container may be metal wire or wire dipped in rubber and 
plastic, etc., or it could be made from fiberglass or equivalent material.
