Abstract:
1. A method of dispensing a liquid scent using a temperature regulated, pressure activated scent dispenser having a container defining an interior volume and a container opening, the dispenser further having a cap and a scent release orifice including a release structure, the method comprising: filling the container interior volume partially with a volume of the liquid scent so that the container interior volume also includes a volume of air; securing the cap to the container opening; suspending the scent dispenser over a ground surface of a desired animal attracting location, wherein the scent release orifice is below the container interior volume with respect to the ground surface, and further wherein the volume of air is held within the container above the volume of liquid scent; and dispensing the liquid scent from the interior volume through the scent release orifice without using manual regulation to commence or control release or flow of the liquid scent, wherein the release structure is a diaphragm comprising at least one slit, the diaphragm configured to permit a build-up of air pressure in the interior volume when there is an increase in ambient temperature above an initial ambient temperature, and further wherein, upon reaching a threshold amount of built-up air pressure, the at least one slit of the release structure is forced to an open position to release a portion of the liquid scent from the interior volume as a burst and subsequent stream of liquid, thereby decreasing the amount of built-up air pressure in the interior volume such that the pressure stabilizes and the at least one slit returns to a closed position.
