Abstract
A fish attractant dispensing lure includes a housing with at least one (1) ejection channel, a dispenser unit, and a power source. The lure housing encases the dispenser unit, which is configured to retain a volume of a fish attractant in a liquid state. A dispensing mechanism is in electrical communication with the power source. When the dispenser unit is activated, the fish attractant is dispensed into the surrounding environment via the dispensing mechanism through at least one (1) ejection channel.
Claims18
A fish attractant dispensing lure comprising:
- a casing having a first end and a second end, further comprising:
- a hollow fluid-tight structure;
- a compartment capable of receiving and supporting a power source, said compartment formed within said structure and configured to be accessible from an exterior of said casing;
- a reservoir formed within said structure, capable of receiving a fluid therein;
- a chamber formed with said structure and in fluid communication with said reservoir;
- and,
- at least one conduit within said structure and in fluid communication with said chamber, wherein each conduit leads to an exterior of said structure;
- a dispensing mechanism within said chamber, further comprising:
- a solenoid;
- a shaft in mechanical connection with said solenoid;
- a plunger in mechanical connection with said shaft;
- and,
- a valve affixed at an interface between said chamber and said reservoir, wherein said valve permits one-way flow of fluid from said reservoir to said chamber;
- and,
- electrical circuitry running from said compartment to said solenoid to transfer electrical power from said power source to said solenoid;
- and,
- a control switch disposed on a surface of said casing and placed into electrical communication with said electrical circuitry, wherein said control switch selectively enables transfer of electrical power from said power source or interrupts said transfer;
- wherein said solenoid drives said plunger to draw said fluid from said reservoir, into said chamber, and out through each conduit.
