Abstract
An intermittent flashing decoy having a housing unit, a power source, a motor, a cycler, a switch, and a flasher, wherein the motor, power source, and cycler are substantially housed within the housing unit, and wherein the power source is capable, when the apparatus is turned on via the switch, of powering the motor off and on at random as controlled by the cycler, which is an intermittent timer chip, to manipulate the flasher as to create intermittent “flashes” as flasher rotates and reflects light such as sunlight. A system of two or more intermittent flashing decoys wherein each decoy is controlled by an intermittent timer chip, the cycler, so that no pattern of flashing occurs between any two decoys.
Claims16
A wildlife attracting apparatus comprising:
- a. a housing unit;
- b. a motor;
- c. a power source;
- d. a cycler, and
- e. a flasher,
- wherein at least the motor and cycler are housed within the housing unit, wherein at least a portion of the flasher is located outside the housing unit, wherein the power source is in electronic communication with the motor and the cycler, wherein the cycler selectively controls the power to the motor, wherein the motor is connected to the flasher such that the motor causes the flasher to rotate around a central vertical axis of the flasher, thereby causing a flash to appear as ambient light strikes and is reflected off the rotating flasher.
A buoyant wildlife attracting apparatus comprising:
- a. a waterproof housing unit;
- b. a motor;
- c. a power source;
- d. a cycler, and
- e. a flasher,
- wherein at least the motor and cycler are housed within the waterproof housing unit, wherein at least a portion of the flasher is located outside the waterproof housing unit, such that at least said flasher is capable of protruding above the water surface when said buoyant wildlife attracting apparatus is located in water, wherein the power source is in electronic communication with the motor and the cycler, wherein the cycler selectively controls the power to the motor, wherein the motor is connected to the flasher such that the motor causes the flasher to rotate around a central vertical axis of the flasher thereby causing a flash to appear as ambient light strikes and is reflected off the rotating flasher.
