Patent number: 8490889Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Inventor: Mark Edwin Rydbom

Publication number: 20110133014Abstract: The insert for roll paper products is pliable, preferably scent-impregnated, foam material that can be wrapped around a dispensing bar of a rolled paper dispenser, and resiliently grips the bar while adding friction to the total dispensing system. The dispensing bar and insert combination is then slid through the hollow core of a rolled paper product. The sleeve has dentate ends that extend beyond the ends of the paper roll. When the product core is rotated while paper is being dispensed, the passage of air through the dentate ends helps to dispense and distribute the scent through the environment proximate the paper dispenser. Moreover, the resilient foam insert provides friction between the paper roll and the foam structure, while also adding friction between the foam structure and the dispensing bar. This feature acts as a brake to prevent excess rollout of the rolled product when being dispensed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventor: David O. Patrick
