Solution Overview

Problem

Existing game hunting and fishing attractant devices are expensive and do not provide a long-duration scent application.

Innovation Solution

The Dripper Bag features a pouch with a sombrero hang hole, a dual core tin tie, a spout with a foil tamper seal and cap, and three puncture areas on the bottom for varying flow rates, allowing for controlled release of attractant fluids.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If conventional scent containers are used, then scent can be released, but the duration of scent application is short and the cost is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduration of scent applicationVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the container system by using a flexible pouch that can be punctured at different locations and configurations. By varying the puncture parameters (number, size, and location of holes), the scent release duration and rate can be adjusted without changing the fundamental container structure, enabling long-duration application at low cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If conventional scent containers are used, then scent can be released, but the flow rate cannot be controlled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflow rate controlVSAvoidcontainer structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom of the pouch is segmented into multiple puncture areas with different numbers and sizes of holes. By selecting and puncturing specific areas, the user can control the flow rate without requiring complex mechanical valves or adjustable mechanisms. The segmentation of the bottom surface into distinct puncture zones enables simple yet effective flow control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If simple puncture holes are made in the container, then the structure remains simple, but the scent releases too quickly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescent release rateVSAvoidscent application duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Different areas of the pouch bottom are designed with different local qualities - specific zones have predetermined patterns of holes with varying sizes and densities. By puncturing in specific local areas rather than randomly, the scent release rate can be controlled. Smaller or fewer holes in certain zones reduce the release rate and extend the application duration while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish include a pouch, where the pouch forms a sombrero hang hole, a duel core tin tie removably affixed to the side of the pouch, a spout, a foil tamper seal, and a spout cap, and where on the bottom of the dripper bag is formed three selections of areas to puncture with varying flow rate and therefore varying total effluent time. Another embodiment of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish includes a pouch, a top flow reducer, a bottom flow reducer wherein the top flow reducer is affixed to the pouch via a threaded aperture formed by the pouch.
