20080229645 | System and method of protecting a pre-defined unenclosed area from mosquitoes and other biting insects - A method of protecting a pre-defined, at least partially open area, such as a outdoor deck, patio or gazebo, from mosquitoes and other biting insects by removing the scents emitted by humans and pets that occupy the pre-defined area. The scents (Carbon Dioxide, Lactic Acid, as well as other body odors and scents) from humans and animals are either vacuumed and exhausted to an area away from the pre-defined area, or pushed out of the predefined area, thus making it difficult or impossible for a mosquito or other biting insect to identify that humans or pets are occupying the pre-defined area. This method is environmentally friendly, does not emit chemicals or poisons, and allows the occupants of the protected, pre-defined, unenclosed area to enjoy the out of doors without having to have windows, roofs, or screens obscuring airflow and the view of the landscape or heavens. | 09-25-2008 |
20080244954 | Hunter's Scent Dispersing Apparatus - An apparatus for dispersing a scent from a scent container, such as is typically used for hunting, is disclosed. The housing of the apparatus has at least one air inlet aperture and at least one air outlet aperture. A container attachment means is adapted for holding the scent container on a front wall of the housing. A fan is fixed within the housing and electrically connected to a battery and a switch. When the fan is electrically connected to the battery through the switch, the fan draws air from the air inlet aperture through the housing and out through the air outlet aperture, the fan blowing air across an opening of the scent container to mix air with the scent and to blow the mixture away from the housing. The apparatus includes a wrist strap to hand carry or suspend the apparatus from an object, and an arm attachment means. | 10-09-2008 |
20080263929 | Hunting and Observation Blind - A portable hunting blind that includes a sheet depicting an animal on a front side, a plurality of rods coupled to a back side for supporting the sheet, and an opening in the sheet suitable for extending equipment therethrough.

20090031608 | Temperature Regulated, Pressure Activated Scent Dispenser and Method of Using Thereof - The present disclosure relates to a temperature regulated, pressure activated liquid scent dispenser. The pressure in the interior of the container may increase as ambient temperature increases. A release structure of the container may release a portion of the liquid scent once a threshold pressure or threshold amount of pressure build-up is reached in the interior of the container. A method comprises filling the interior volume with a liquid scent so that the interior volume also includes a volume of air, suspending the dispenser over a ground surface, and dispensing the liquid scent from the interior volume through the release structure. Due to an increase of pressure of the volume of air, and upon reaching a threshold air pressure, the release structure releases a portion of the liquid scent from the interior volume. Applications may include dispensing animal attractant or repellent. | 02-05-2009 |
20090038204 | PORTABLE CONTAINER MOUNTED COUNTER FOR FISHING, HUNTING, AND OTHER OUTDOOR ACTIVIES - A device for electronically and optically counting objects, such as fish, animals, vegetation or other materials, as they are placed into a container. As objects are placed into the container, they lower a flap or flaps and fall through the opening to the container. A light source, such as a laser or LED, is directed toward a light detector in such a way as to be disrupted by the flap (s) as the animal falls into the container. A light detector detects said disruption of the light and signals the electronic circuit to add to the number previously counted. A light spring or similar mechanical energy storage element returns the flap or flaps to the original position. Various methods of communicating the count are provided. The preferred method of communicating the count is via an integrated visual display. The preferred method of powering the device is by the use of one or more electric battery.
