Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional patent application No. 61/334879, filed May 14, 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference and is a continuation of U.S. non-provisional application number 13100853, filed May 4, 2011.
- The present invention generally relates to hunting equipment, and more particularly, to a scent shooter.
- One technique employed by hunters is to draw game out by dousing an area with chemicals that attract wildlife. For example, game can be lured into a particular area by using pheromones or other natural scents such as animal urine that the game can detect.
- Some current methods of covering an area with these chemicals include manually pouring or spraying, however, these techniques can mean that a hunter physically traverses the same area so that the hunter's motion scares potential game away or may leave behind his own scent that the game can detect. Some other techniques include using breakable pellets that contain attractive scent as a lure. The pellets can be shot or launched toward an area so that the hunter may be an undetectable distance away, for example, approximately 240 ft.
- As can be seen, there is a need for an apparatus that improves the release of scent from a pellet that can be discharged from a distance.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a scentball comprises a rupture-resistant shell; and an animal-based scent disposed within the shell.
- In another aspect of the present invention, a scentball comprises a hardened shell; a permeable control release agent within the hardened shell; and a fluid scent disposed within the hardened shell.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a scent shooter according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective side view of the scent shooter ofFIG. 1 with an exemplary embodiment of a vessel disposed over a handle chamber; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the scent shooter ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is an isolated front view of the handle ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is a side view of the handle ofFIG. 4 ; -
FIG. 6 is a top view of the handle ofFIG. 4 ; -
FIG. 7 is a side view of another exemplary embodiment of a vessel; and -
FIG. 8 is a front view of an exemplary scent pellet according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention. - The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- Various inventive features are described below that can each be used independently of one another or in combination with other features.
- Broadly, embodiments of the present invention generally provide a scent shooter that can launch a projectile, for example, a pierced scent filled pellet, into an area distant from a user providing improved chances of a distant area being doused with an attractant for game. Additionally, exemplary embodiments of the present invention, control the timing of the piercing so as to control and mitigate spillage of the scent near the hunter.
- Referring now to the Figures, an apparatus is shown that can pierce a scent filled pellet just prior to launch.
FIGS. 1-3 show ascent shooter 10 that includes ahandle 20 and avessel 50. Thescent shooter 10, in some exemplary embodiments, may be a slingshot including thehandle 20, a pair offorks 40 coupled to thehandle 20, and a pair of elastic slings 60 attached to theforks 40. Thevessel 50 may be rigid and coupled to and between proximal ends 65 of the slings 60. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 , 7, and 8, an exploded view of thescent shooter 10 is shown and in particular, thevessel 50 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention carrying a scent filled pellet 99. Thevessel 50 may include an outer shell 51 and aninternal compartment 54. - The outer shell 51 may be a unitary rigid piece or may be two
separate halves 51 a; 51 b forming an elongated cup shape with anopen front end 57 and a substantially enclosed back end 59. The outer shell 51 may include indents or slots 52 (shown asrespective indent halves side walls 58. A projection 53 (formed by interlockingelements 53 a and 53 b) may be disposed on the back enclosed end 59. - The
internal compartment 54 may be substantially semi-spherical and sized to carry the pellet 99 within its interior. An exterior surface of theinternal compartment 54 may include a pair ofrails 56 disposed on opposite sides of theinternal compartment 54 exterior. Therails 56 may each support adepressible tab 55. Thetabs 55 may include a grip surface 67 that may include, for example, ridges. - A
piercer 75, for example, a tack, a pin, or a blade, may be mounted on thevessel 50. Thepiercer 75 may be disposed to pierce the pellet 99 inside theinternal compartment 54. In one exemplary embodiment, thepiercer 75 may be coupled through the outer shell 51 and through theinternal compartment 54. Thepiercer 75 may be spring loaded onto thevessel 50. In one exemplary embodiment, acoiled spring 76 may be mounted onto thepiercer 75 between an interior of the outer shell 51 and the exterior of theinternal compartment 54. - In operation, a user may insert the pellet 99 into the
internal compartment 54. The user may apply finger pressure to thetabs 55 when drawing the elastic slings 60 andvessel 50 back prior to launching the pellet 99. One may appreciate that thetabs 55 mounted on therails 56 may slide along the indents 52 of the outer shell 51. The ridges on the grip surface 67 may aid the fingers of the user providing control during the draw and preventing slippage. As a user slides thetabs 55 rearward, the finger pressure applied to the pellet 99 simultaneously draws theinternal compartment 54 and pellet 99 rearward within the outer shell 51. Thus, in one exemplary use, as the user begins to encounter resistance from the slings 60, the pellet 99 may be drawn rearward toward thepiercer 75 and pierced just prior to launching. Once the pellet 99 is released, thecoiled spring 76 may push theinternal compartment 54 back into a default position within the outer shell 51. - Referring back to
FIGS. 1-6 , thehandle 20 may include features to provide ease of handling and ease of dispensing the scented pellets 99. Thehandle 20 may include a curvedrear surface 26 and a plurality offinger grips 24 on a front surface. Thehandle 20 may include aninternal wall 29 defining a hollow chamber. Theinternal wall 29 may be large enough to fit scented pellets 99 so that the pellets 99 may move freely when stacked inside thehandle 20. A valve 30 assembly may be disposed at the top of thehandle 20 over theinternal wall 29. The valve assembly 30 may include a spring loadedtrigger 35. Thetrigger 35 may be depressed to reveal and release the contents of theinternal wall 29. Thehandle 20 may also include a pair oflengthwise grooves 27 that may run from the top of thehandle 20 down to the bottom and may accommodate fitted coupling offork legs 28 to thehandle 20. - The
scent shooter 10 may include ayoke 74 coupling thevessel 50 to thehandle 20 by way offasteners 79. A pair ofyoke locks 72 may be disposed between theyoke 74 and thevessel 50. The pair ofyoke locks 72 may be positioned between thetabs 55 and theunderlying yoke 74 surface. - The yoke locks 72 may be configured to surround the
front end 57 of the outer shell 51 and lock the outer shell 51 onto theyoke 74. It may also be appreciated that the yoke locks 72 may be configured to provide a stop for thetabs 55 as the internal compartment may reset to its default position after a launch. Theyoke 74 may also include a pair ofloops 73 on distal ends of theyoke 74. The elastic slings 60 may each be fastened torespective loops 73. - While the foregoing was described within the context of employing a slingshot, it will be understood that features and elements of the foregoing disclosure may describe other projectile launchers. Additionally, while other projectile launchers may not have been illustrated, those skilled in the art may appreciate that some of the foregoing features may be employed alone within other projectile launcher types. For example, the vessels described may be employed on a cross-bow type launcher or a pneumatic gun.
- Referring to
FIG. 8 , a pellet 99 is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The pellet 99 may also be referred to as a scentball. In one aspect, the scentball 99 may be configured to be launched and land in a target area without rupturing. In another aspect, the scentball 99 may be configured to land and disperse contents according to a controlled release. For sake of illustration, the scentball 99 is shown pierced with an opening P as provided in accordance with the aforementioned disclosure, however it will be understood that the scentball 99 is typically unpierced. - The scentball 99 may include a
spherical shell 92 filled with a fluid 95. The fluid 95 may be, for example, an animal-based scent such as animal urine or other animal lure scents or masks. Theshell 92 may be made from a hardened material to promote maintaining the integrity of the scentball 99. For example, theshell 92 may be made from extended baked [Jay, do you have an approximate baking time for your shells?] gelatin composite that resists water solubility and deformation. Alternatively, theshell 92 may be made from plastic. Theshell 92 may be, for example, greater than 0.010 inches thick. In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness of theshell 92 may be approximately 0.020 inches to 0.030 inches. Acontrol release agent 90 may be disposed within theshell 92 interior. Thecontrol release agent 90 may be configured to control a flow rate of thescent fluid 95 out of the opening P. Thecontrol release agent 90 may be disposed to occupy approximately 5%-90% of the interior volume of theshell 92. The fluid 95 may be impregnated into thecontrol release agent 90 or may be surrounded by thecontrol release agent 90. Thecontrol release agent 90 may be, for example, an absorbent material such as cotton. In one exemplary embodiment, thecontrol release agent 90 may be heterogeneously disposed within theshell 92. In another exemplary embodiment, thecontrol release agent 90 may line an interior surface of theshell 92 configured as a permeable barrier. - In an exemplary use of the scentball 99, as the scentball 99 is pierced and launched into an area, the
hardened shell 92 may allow the scentball 99 to bounce and may protect the scentball 99 from rupturing or breaking upon impact. The release of the fluid 95 out of the opening P may be controlled according to the density and permeability of thecontrol release agent 90 providing, in one example, for the fluid 95 to flow out in a time released manner through the opening P. The fluid passing out from thecontrol release agent 90 may pass through the opening P as a fluid or evaporated gas. - It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
