Not applicable
The general field of the embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish is game hunting and fishing accessories. More specifically, the field of the embodiments relates to dispersal of attractant fluids for attracting game animals and fish.
Hunting game routinely requires the hunter to place scent in the field to attract game. The prior art consists of containers of scent placed in a location and opened to allow the scent to escape. A drawback of the prior art is that these devices are expensive and do not provide a long-duration of scent application.
Embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish are comprised of a pouch, where the pouch forms a sombrero hang hole, a duel core tin tie removably affixed to the side of the pouch, a spout, a foil tamper seal, and a spout cap, and where on the bottom of the dripper bag is formed three selections of areas to puncture with varying flow rate and therefore varying total effluent time.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the embodiments that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the embodiments in detail, it is to be understood that the embodiment is not limited in this application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The embodiment or embodiments are capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be used as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the embodiments. Additional benefits and advantages of the embodiments will become apparent in those skilled in the art to which the present embodiments relate from the subsequent description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the embodiments.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the embodiments of the application which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the embodiments in any way.
Embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish 100 comprise a pouch 101, a top cap 102, a spout 103, a spout cap 104, and a spout aperture 202.
One embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100 comprises a pouch 101, where the pouch forms a sombrero hang hole 503, a duel core tin tie 901 removably affixed to the side of the pouch 101. On the bottom of the dripper bag is formed three selections of areas to puncture with varying flow rate and therefore varying total effluent time. Another embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100 comprises an optional carabiner 502 that is threaded through the sombrero hang hole 503 and is used to attach the Dripper Bag 100 to a tree, fence, or other structure from which to hang the Dripper Bag 100.
Another embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100 comprises an optional zip aperture 501. The zip aperture 501 forms interlocking ridges near the edges of the opening to be easily closed or sealed by pressing one side of the opening against the other. The zip aperture 501 can be used to fill the pouch 101 with liquid attractant.
The pouch 101 is comprised of thin polymeric material or thin metallized polymeric material that is used to contain the liquid scent or liquid attractant desired to be distributed. The pouch is a fixed at its bottom to a spout. In one embodiment, the spout is comprised of a spout aperture 103 and a spout aperture cap 104. In another embodiment, the spout is comprised of a spout ball valve 401. The spout ball valve 401 can be used to adjust the rate of flow of the contents of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish 100 per the requirements of the user.
In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100 the spout is 10 mm in diameter and the spout is covered with a foil tamper seal 902. The tamper seal 902 provides the means to drip the liquid scent from the pouch. The tamper seal 902 is covered with a spout cap 104 for shipment and transportation and to prevent inadvertent puncture of the foil tamper seal. A dual core tin tie 901 is a fixed to the side of the pouch 101 with an adhesive means that permits removal of the dual core tin tie 901. The pouch 101 also forms an opening in the form of a sombrero 503 at the top of the pouch to permit hanging of the pouch 101 from a tree or other vertical structure.
The dual core tin tie has added at its end a pre-serrated separation cut approximately 0.25 inches from its tip. This pre-serrated separation cut permits the user to grasp the plastic sheath 1001 end of the dual core tin tie 901 and remove the plastic sheath 1001 from the end. The dual core tin tie 901 can then be used to puncture the foil tamper seal 902 on the spout permitting flow of the liquid scent.
The spout 103 is comprised of a threaded connection that permits removal of the spout cap 104. On the end of the spout 103 is placed with adhesive means the foil tamper seal 902. The spout cap 104 is then threadedly affixed to the spout.
In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100 the spout 103 comprises a dripper nozzle and a cap. In this embodiment, the flow is regulated by the size of the dripper nozzle. Dripper nozzles of various size. In yet another embodiment of the of the Dripper Bag 100 a spout insert is placed between the pouch and the nozzle. The spout insert allows the user to regulate the flow of the liquid scent by replacing the spout insert with appropriate flow rated inserts.
In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag 100, the Dripper Bag is comprised a pouch 101, a top flow reducer 1100, a bottom flow reducer 1200. The top flow reducer 1100 is affixed to the pouch via a threaded aperture formed by the pouch 904.
The top flow reducer 1100 is comprised of a top cap 1102, one or more flow restriction capillaries 1101, a threaded midportion 1103, and a lower threaded portion 1104. The threaded midportion 1103 threads into the aperture form by the pouch 904. The top cap 1102 provides a holding volume with inside the pouch to allow the contents of the pouch to be released. The lower threaded allow the bottom flow restriction 1200 to be inserted via a threaded connection. The one or more flow restriction capillaries 1101 pass from the top of the top flow reducer 1101 to the opening at the bottom of the top flow reducer 1100 that forms the lower threaded portion 1104. The one or more flow restriction capillaries 1101 allow for the fluid in the pouch to be properly metered for release. Different flow rates can be accommodated by changing the number of flow restriction capillaries or though diameter of the one or more flow restriction capillaries.
The bottom flow reducer 1200 is comprised of a threaded portion 1202 and a single capillary 1201. The bottom flow reducer 1200 is threadedly attached to the upper flow reducer 1100 via the lower threaded portion 1104 of the top flow reducer 1100.
The flow path for the fluid in the Dripper Bag 100 proceeds as follows. The fluid to be dispensed collects in the top cap 1102 and proceeds through the flow restriction capillaries 1101 and into the area formed by the lower threaded portion 1104. The floor then proceeds through the bottom flow reducer 1200 via the single capillary 1201. The combination of the what are more flow restriction capillaries 1101 in the single capillary 1201 allows for precise and reproducible metering of the fluid to the outside of the Dripper Bag 100.
