## Abstract

Device embodiments use a person's exhaled breath to distribute an evaporated, sublimated, or vaporized material. The disclosure provides non-powered devices that use evaporation or sublimation to create the vapor that is distributed and the disclosure provides devices with electric vaporizers which rapidly vaporize liquid scent materials for distribution. The scent can be designed as a masking or cover scent, an aromatic lure scent, a scent elimination material, a pleasant scent for freshening air in a room or automobile, or a repellant scent. The device can be worn as a mask or configured as a game call.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A game call device that distributes a scent material when used to generate a game call sound; the device comprising:
a body having an inlet and an outlet;
a scent carrier that distributes a scent material to an airflow flowing through the body from the inlet to the outlet wherein the scent material exits the outlet with the airflow to be distributed from the game call device; and
a reed adapted to create a game call sound when subjected to airflow.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The game call device of claim 1, further comprising a one-way valve between the inlet and the outlet.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The game call device of claim 1, further comprising a filter between the inlet and the outlet.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The game call device of claim 1, wherein the scent carrier is a portion of the body.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The game call device of claim 4, wherein the portion of the body that functions as the scent carrier is a tube infused with a scent.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The game call device of claim 4, wherein the portion of the body that functions as the scent carrier is a tube coated with a scent.

### Claim 7

A game call device that distributes a scent material when used to generate a game call sound; the device comprising:
a body having an inlet and an outlet;
a scent carrier that distributes a scent material to an airflow flowing through the body from the inlet to the outlet wherein the scent material exits the outlet with the airflow to be distributed from the game call device;
a reed adapted to create a game call sound when subjected to airflow; and
wherein the body includes a branch tube with an air direction valve; a power source, a vapor device, and a liquid scent material tank; the vapor device being an electric burner that is selectively powered to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material carried within the liquid scent material tank.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The game call device of claim 7, further comprising a one-way valve between the inlet and the outlet.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The game call device of claim 7, further comprising a filter between the inlet and the outlet.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The game call device of claim 7, further comprising a one-way valve carried by the branch tube.
