DISPENSING DEVICE FOR ANIMAL ATTRACTANT

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device that dispenses animal attractant and lure scents particularly a heated scent dispenser that includes: a scent container; a heater and wick assembly that extends up when in use exposing the wicks and down into the scent container when not in use; a cap on top of the heater and wick assembly that spins freely to not twist the wires of the heater, where the cap includes a means to mount the dispenser device; a power switch, where the power switch is adapted to enable a user to activate or deactivate the heater; and a power source. The means to mount may include a hook, where the hook is adapted to allow a user to hang the dispenser device from a stationary object or the flat base that allows the device to be placed on a surface.

Claims

1. A dispenser device for dispensing animal attractant comprising: a. a scent container; b. a heater and wick assembly, wherein the heater and wick assembly is adapted to raise out of the scent container to aid in dispersion and lowered to store when not in use; c. a cap, wherein the cap is assembled on top of the heater and wick assembly and the cap is adapted to spin independent of the heater and wick assembly, where the heater and wick assembly includes a means to mount the dispenser device; d. a power switch, where the power switch is adapted to enable a user to activate or deactivate the dispenser device; and e. a power source.

2. The dispenser device according to claim 1, where the means to mount includes a hook, where the hook is adapted to allow a user to hang the dispenser device from a stationary object.

3. The dispenser device according to claim 1, where the power switch includes a LED light that provides operational information regarding the use of the dispenser device.

4. The dispenser device according to claim 1, where the scent container includes a capsule adapted to receive and hold scent material.

5. The dispenser device according to claim 1, where the dispenser device includes a battery compartment below the scent container, where batteries supply power to the heater and other components of the dispenser device.

6. The dispenser device according to claim 5, where DC battery is used within the battery compartment.

7. The dispenser device according to claim 1, further including a venting portion, where the venting portion allows emission of scent from the scent container.

8. The dispenser device according to claim 1, where the heater heats the scent to a predetermined delta above the ambient temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The present invention relates to a device that dispenses animal attractant and lure scents, particularly a heated scent dispenser, which heats the scent during disbursement. As stated, the present invention includes a battery source that is used to supply energy to electronic components that then supply the power to a silicone waterproof heater that is within an assembly that holds wicks on both sides of the heater. The heater and wick assembly travels within tracks within the scent container. The assembly is raised during use and lowered into the scent compartment for storage when not in use. A hook is provided on the top of a cap that attaches to the heater and wick assembly. The upper section of the heater and wick assembly acts as a bearing within the cap. This allows the cap to spin freely to not twist the heater wires that extends into the scent container. Advantageously the device heats the scent on the wicks to create a realistic experience to attract animals while promoting diffusion.

[0014] In reference to FIG. 1, a prospective view of a dispenser device according to present invention is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, dispenser device 100 includes a scent container 30 with a heater and wick assembly 25 that rises while in use and lowers to be stored into the scent container when not in use 30. A cap 22 is assembled on top of the heater and wick assembly that acts as a bearing 25 that includes a hook 20. The hook 20 allows a user to hang the dispenser device from a tree or other stationary objects. An on and off switch 40 is also shown. The switch 40 preferably includes a LED light that provides operational information regarding the use of the dispenser device 100.

[0015] A sectional view of the dispenser device 100 is shown as FIG. 2. Within the scent container 30 is a capsule 32 that receives and holds the scent material. The heater and wick assembly 25 extends into the scent capsule 32 to absorb scent material via the wicks and then heat the scent during operation when raised. Below the scent container 30 is a battery compartment 42 which holds batteries 44 that supply power to the electronic components and the switch 40 to the heater within the heater and wick assembly 25.

[0016] FIG. 3 provides a front view of the dispenser device 100 showing switch 40 above the battery compartment 42. Preferably DC batteries are used within the device. Further shown in FIG. 3 is a venting portion 35 that allows the emission of the scent from the exposed heater and wick assembly from the scent container 30. During use a user mounts the scent device 100 onto a stationary object such as a tree using the hook on the cap 20 or it can be placed on a flat surface. The electronics within the device are programmed to heat the scent at a predetermined delta explained above promoting diffusion. Therefore, the device provides properly heated scent regardless of the ambient temperatures surrounding the device within reason. The instant invention has been shown and described in what it considers to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
