## Abstract

The heater and dehumidifier for game calls includes a body having a least one main inlet for receiving airflow into the body, an at least one second opening formed in the body defining an at least one main outlet. A first chamber has a first passageway, a second chamber has a second passageway and a third chamber has a third passageway. The first passageway is in communication with the second passageway, and the second passageway is in communication with the third passageway. The device further includes at least one stack adapted to receive a call.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for dehumidifying and drying game calls, comprising:
a body having an inner chamber, and at least one first opening formed in the body defining an at least one main inlet for receiving airflow into the body, an at least one second opening formed in the body defining an at least one main outlet, and an at least one passageway formed in the inner chamber, to enable communication between the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening;
at least one stack adapted to receive a call, the stack having an at least one stack inlet in communication with the at least one main outlet of the body, to receive air flow from the at least one passageway, the stack having an at least one stack outlet opening in communication with the at least one stack inlet opening to facilitate air flow through the stack, the stack having an adapter configured to receive a call;
an air driving assembly to facilitate air flow into the body through the at least one first opening formed in the body;
a power source to provide power to the air driving assembly;
wherein when the device is turned on, the air driving assembly drives air through the main inlet of the body, through the at least one passageway, through the at least one stack and through at least one stack outlet to provide drying air to a call:

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, further comprising a heating element provided in the inner chamber to warm air as it passes through the at least one passageway.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, further comprising a controller to control the power delivered from the power source to the air driving assembly.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the controller provides a processor and interface to enable a user to selectively program the device to operate for a selected time duration.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the air driving assembly comprises a fan and a motor to facilitate air flow through the at least one passageway.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein a thermostat is located in the inner chamber to detect the temperature of the air passing through the at least one passageway.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the inner chamber includes a first chamber defining a first passageway, a second chamber defining a second passageway, and a third chamber defining a third passageway, wherein the first passageway is in communication with the second passageway and the second passageway is in communication with a third passageway.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The device of claim 5, wherein the first chamber is positioned in a lower portion of the inner chamber, the third chamber is positioned in an upper part of the inner chamber and the second chamber is positioned in the inner chamber, intermediate to the first chamber and the second chamber.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the thermostat is provided in the second chamber for detecting the temperature of the air prior to distribution.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the heating element is provided in the first chamber and first passageway after the air driving assembly.

### Claim 11 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the power source is provided in the first chamber.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the stack includes a baffle disposed therein to open and close the stack.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one stack includes a plurality of stacks, and the at least one main outlet includes a plurality of main outlets in communication with the corresponding plurality of stacks.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the power source is a battery provided in the first chamber.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first heating element is a light bulb.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first heating element is a heating coil.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, where in the power source includes a rechargeable battery.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one stack has plural outlets formed about the stack to enable air flow out of the stack in plural locations.

### Claim 19

A device for dehumidifying and heating up and drying mouthpieces, comprising:
a body having an least one main inlet for receiving airflow into the body, an at least one second opening formed in the body defining an at least one main outlet.
a first chamber defining a first passageway, a second chamber having a second passageway and a third chamber having a third passageway; the first passageway being in communication with the second passageway and the second passageway being in communication with a third passageway.
at least one stack adapted to receive a mouthpiece, the stack having an at least one stack inlet in communication with the at least one main outlet of the body, to receive air flow from the at least one passageway, the stack having an at least one stack outlet opening in communication with the at least one stack inlet opening to facilitate air flow through the stack, the stack having an adapter configured to receive a mouthpiece;
an air driving assembly to facilitate air flow into the body through the at least one first opening formed in the body;
a power source to provide power to the air driving assembly;
a heating element provided in the inner chamber to warm air as it passes through the at least one passageway;
a controller to controls the power delivered from the power source to the air driving assembly;
and, a thermostat is located in the inner chamber to detect the temperature of the air passing through the at least one passageway.
