Abstract
A wind detection device with a flexible enclosure, and opening, and a dispensing tube, filled with powder or liquid and designed to be attached to hunting equipment, headgear, or clothing, wherein pressing on the outside of the device causes a puff of powder or vapor to be dispensed into the air, allowing the user to determine wind direction.
Claims2
A wind detection device, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an interior cavity, a flexible wall, and a mounting structure, the mounting structure comprising a male threaded screw;
- an opening in the enclosure configured to allow insertion and retention of a dispensing tube;
- the dispensing tube inserted into and retained in the opening, the dispensing tube having a first and a second end, with the first end extending through the opening into the interior cavity, and with a longitudinal hole extending the length of the dispensing tube from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a mounting receiver comprising an adhesive surface and a female threaded screw, wherein the mounting receiver is configured to be attached to an object by means of the adhesive surface, and configured to receive and hold the mounting structure of the enclosure by means of the female threaded screw;
- wherein, when a particulate substance is contained within the interior cavity, pressure on the exterior of the enclosure causes air in the interior cavity to be compressed, forcing a mixture of air and particulate matter from the interior cavity into the first end of the dispensing tube and out of the second end of the dispensing tube.
