Reel-type Storage Patents (Class 239/48)
  • Patent number: 8490889
    Abstract: A scent dispenser is provided to dispense liquid scent during a hunt for wild game. The inventive scent dispenser uses age old scientific and natural phenomena to enhance the speed of the wind. The provided dispenser uses a venturi wind channel to accomplish a wind speed increase. Supported at its center of gravity from above or below, allowing rotation, the funnel shaped wind channel is continuously aligned with the wind direction by a wind vane. Liquid scent is introduced in the constricted section of the venturi wind channel where the wind velocity is increased. This increased wind speed, and continuous alignment to wind direction, enhances the vaporization of liquid scents that attract wild game, and that mask the scent of a hunter from the wild game's keen sense of smell.

  • Patent number: 4788787
    Abstract: A scent propagation device (10) for luring animals and then masking the scent of a human who is hunting game has a line (21) of substantial length that is wound on a free-moving spool (20). The spool (20) is rotatably mounted within a leak-proof container that is comprised of an upper housing (11) that sealingly mates with a lower housing (12). A plug (40) in the body of the container may be removed to open a channel to the interior of the scent propagation device (10) so that a liquid concentrate of a desired scent may be added. The line (21) is absorbent and becomes saturated with the scent. To disperse the desired scent, the user withdraws the line (21) from the container by tying the line (21) to a fixed object and walking away from that object. The line (21) is guided to exit the container through a bushing (26) that also partially meters the scent concentrate and extracts excess liquid concentrate.
