Animal Attractant System with Remote Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game animal attracting devices lack the ability to initiate operation of multiple attractant assemblies in a safe, efficient, convenient, and economical manner for attracting deer during hunting.
Innovation Solution
An animal attractant system comprising a housing with a visual, audial, and olfactory attractant assembly, powered by a hand-held remote device, which includes a primary motor for tail movement, a secondary motor for lateral tail movement, and a tertiary motor for generating sounds, along with a battery-powered scented tealight candle for aroma dissemination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple attractant assemblies are used to attract game animals, then the attraction effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple attractant assemblies (visual, audial, and olfactory attractants) into a single integrated housing. The control system merges the operation of multiple motors (primary motor for tail movement, secondary motor for lateral tail movement, tertiary motor for sounds) and various attractant components into one coordinated unit, allowing simultaneous or selective activation of different attractant types to enhance overall attraction effectiveness while managing device complexity through unified control.
2Ease of operation
If remote control capability is added to initiate attractant operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a handheld remote control device as an intermediary between the operator and the attractant system. The remote control transmits signals wirelessly to the control system within the housing, enabling the operator to initiate and control the operation of multiple attractant assemblies from a distance. This intermediary device simplifies user interaction while the control system manages the complexity of coordinating multiple motors and attractant components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple motors are used for different attractant functions, then the versatility is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a control system that provides universal control over multiple different types of motors and attractant assemblies. The control system can selectively activate the primary motor for tail movement, secondary motor for lateral tail movement, tertiary motor for sound generation, and battery-powered scented tealight candle for aroma dissemination, allowing a single control unit to manage diverse functions. This multi-functionality approach enables versatility in attracting different game animals through various sensory modalities while consolidating control architecture to manage manufacturing complexity.

AI summary
A housing has a first end and a second end and a chamber there between. At least one animal attractant assembly is within the housing. The animal attractant assembly is chosen from a class consisting of a visual attractant, an audial attractant, and an olfactory attractant. A hand held remote device initiates operation of at least one of the attractant assemblies.
