Abstract
A compact lightweight atomizing scent dispenser which may be used to actively disperse liquid scent into the atmosphere as atomized droplets for the purpose of attracting game and masking the scent of a hunter, the scent dispenser including means to change the scent being dispensed without exposing the hunter to contact with the scent, the scent dispenser further being specifically adapted for mounting on an archery bow to function additionally as a bow stabilizer and a vibration and shock damper, the scent dispenser yet further incorporating a gravitationally based means to maintain an attached liquid scent bottle in an upright position to prevent spillage of the liquid scent and to provide vertical stabilization of the archery bow regardless of the orientation in which the bow is held with respect to the ground.
Claims8
A scent dispenser for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- an atomizer body having an internal passage interconnecting between an air inlet, a scent inlet, and an atomizer;
- a bottle assembly for containing a liquid scent, said bottle assembly coupled to the scent inlet of said atomizer body;
- a dispenser body having a cylindrical cavity and a plurality of internal passages connecting between the outer wall thereof and the cylindrical cavity;
- a generally cylindrical insert rotatably retained inside the cylindrical cavity of said dispenser body by a retaining means to maintain the dispenser body in a substantially vertical orientation, said cylindrical insert having an internal passage with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being aligned with one or more of the internal passages of said dispenser body, the outlet being coupled to the air inlet of said atomizer body;
- and
- a squeeze bulb mounted to the outer wall of said dispenser body and coupled to one of the internal passages thereof.
A method of dispersing a scent using a scent dispenser having a mounting portion comprised of a mounting lug having a keyed slot adapted for use with a mounting means with a keyed fixture secured in the keyed slot of said mounting lug by a retaining means, a dispensing portion comprised of an atomizer body having an internal passage interconnecting an air inlet, a scent inlet, and an atomizer;
- a liquid scent containing bottle assembly coupled to the scent inlet of said atomizer body;
- a dispenser body including a cylindrical cavity, a plurality of internal passages interconnecting between the outer wall thereof and said cylindrical cavity, a generally cylindrical insert rotatably retained in the cylindrical cavity of said dispenser body by a retaining means to maintain the dispenser body in a substantially vertical orientation, said cylindrical insert having an internal passage with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being aligned with one or more of the internal passages of said dispenser body, the outlet being coupled to the air inlet of said atomizer body;
- and a squeeze bulb mounted to the outer wall of said dispenser body and coupled to one of the internal passages thereof, said method comprising steps of:
- filling said scent bottle assembly with a desired liquid scent;
- aiming said scent dispenser towards the direction in which it is desired to disperse scent;
- actuating said squeeze bulb forcing pressurized air into the internal passages of said dispenser body, through the internal passage of said cylindrical insert, and into the internal passage of said atomizer body via the air inlet, the pressurized air drawing the liquid scent into the internal passage of said atomizer body via the scent inlet, causing a combined stream of the pressurized air and the liquid scent to be dispersed by the atomizer of said atomizer body into the atmosphere as atomized droplets.
