Patent number: 11964077Abstract: A scent device comprises a container defining a volume and configured to hold a fill material, which may include one or more chemical compounds, natural formulations, or both configured to absorb odor and/or moisture, and/or emit a scent. The scent device includes a vented cap reversibly coupled to the container via a connection mechanism, and a breathable insert sandwiched between the container and the cap. The breathable insert may comprise a non-woven fabric supported along its perimeter by a structural mount. Methods of manufacturing the scent device involve cutting a mount from a support material, attaching a breathable material to the mount to form a breathable insert, depositing a scent-controlling material within a container, and sandwiching the breathable insert between the container and a cap upon coupling the cap with the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Wildlife Research Center, Inc.Inventors: Samuel A. Burgeson, Anthony Berg

Publication number: 20230363373Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of attracting deer using a novel device configured to hold and support at least one tree branch above the ground, optionally above a deer scrape. The device can include a mounting plate configured for attachment to a mounting object, such as a tree or manually installed post. Two tubular portions, each configured to receive and support at least an end portion of a tree branch, may extend from a common surface of the mounting plate. One of the tree branches may serve as an interaction branch upon which deer may deposit natural scents formulated to attract other deer. A deer attractant device, such as a liquid scent dispenser, may be suspended from one of the tree branches supported by the device to deposit the attractant on the interaction branch and/or scrape.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2022Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventor: Samuel A.

Patent number: 11241007Abstract: A liquid scent dispenser may include a container, an attachment component, and a cap. The container may define an opening at a first end and an interior portion housing a liquid scent. A first attachment opening defined by the attachment component may be engaged with the container opening. The attachment component may define a second opening and an interior volume housing an amount of air. The cap may be engaged with the second opening and may define at least one scent dispense tube, which may be in fluid communication with the interior container volume. The dispenser may be configured to permit an expansion of air pressure in its interior volume when there is an increase in ambient temperature, so that air displaces a portion of the liquid scent from the dispenser, which passes through the interior volume into the cap and exits the dispenser through a scent dispense tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER, INC.Inventors: Samuel A. Burgeson, Shawn McKinney

Publication number: 20150136871Abstract: Systems and devices for dispensing liquid scent and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to scent wick dispensers having an increased surface area, containers to be used with such scent wick dispensers and methods of using the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2014Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventor: Samuel A.

Patent number: 8739455Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a temperature regulated, pressure activated liquid scent dispenser. The pressure in the interior of the container may increase as ambient temperature increases. A release structure of the container may release a portion of the liquid scent once a threshold pressure or threshold amount of pressure build-up is reached in the interior of the container. A method comprises filling the interior volume with a liquid scent so that the interior volume also includes a volume of air, suspending the dispenser over a ground surface, and dispensing the liquid scent from the interior volume through the release structure. Due to an increase of pressure of the volume of air, and upon reaching a threshold air pressure, the release structure releases a portion of the liquid scent from the interior volume. Applications may include dispensing animal attractant or repellent.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Wildlife Research Center, Inc.Inventor: Samuel A. Burgeson
