Doe urine heater device

A doe urine heater device provided to increase the attraction of deer to a hunting area by including a box having hingedly connected top and bottom portions, an upper central compartment in the top portion and a portion of the bottom portion directly adjacent thereto. A heating bulb, for heating doe urine contained in a urine cup centrally disposed in the box directly above the heating bulb, is disposed within a lower central compartment in the bottom portion directly adjacent to the upper central compartment and adjacent a bottom side of the box. A battery-operated variable temperature control switch, disposed proximal a top side of the box within an upper compartment disposed within the top portion between the upper central compartment and each of a right side and a left side of the box, is in operational communication with the heating bulb to selectively heat the doe urine.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of animal attractant and scent distribution devices are known in the prior art. However, what is needed, and what the present device provides, is a doe urine heater device which simulates the presence of a doe in a hunting area for a period of time by maintaining the doe urine in a heated state within a holder, rather than by dumping cold doe urine on the ground.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to animal attractant and scent distribution devices, and more particularly, to a doe urine heater device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the present doe urine heater device, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a doe urine heater device which has many novel features that result in a doe urine heater device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.

To accomplish this, the present doe urine heater device is provided to increase the attraction of both bucks and other does to a hunting area over the attraction provided by spreading cold doe urine on the ground. The instant device includes a box having hingedly-connected top and bottom portions. An upper central compartment38is disposed in the top portion and a portion of the bottom portion directly adjacent the top portion. A lower central compartment is disposed in the bottom portion in a position directly adjacent to the upper central compartment and between the upper central compartment and the bottom side. A heating bulb is disposed within a lower central compartment disposed in the bottom portion directly adjacent to the upper central compartment and between the upper central compartment and a bottom side of the box. The heating bulb is configured to heat an amount of doe urine contained within a urine cup removably disposed with the upper central compartment directly above the heating bulb to a temperature within a normal body temperature range of a doe. The heating bulb is an 1157 bulb which serves at the heat source for heating doe urine contained in a urine cup. A battery-operated variable temperature control switch, disposed proximal a top side of the box within one of an upper compartment disposed within the top portion between the upper central compartment and each of a right side and a left side of the box, is in operational communication with the heating bulb to selectively heat the doe urine. A charger, which is a 6-volt deep cycle triple charger, is provided to charge the at least one battery. The urine cup has a diameter in a range of approximately 2 inches to 4 inches and has a depth of approximately 2 inches to 4 inches. The temperature control switch is configured to selectively control the heating bulb. Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present doe urine heater device so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

With reference now to the drawings, and in particularFIGS. 1 through 4thereof, an example of the instant doe urine heater device employing the principles and concepts of the present doe urine heater device and generally designated by the reference number10will be described.

Referring toFIGS. 1 through 4, the present doe urine heater device10is illustrated. The doe urine heater device10includes a box20having a top side22, a bottom side24, a right side26, a left side28, a front side30, a rear side32, a top portion34, and a bottom portion36hingedly attached to the top portion34on rear side32. An upper central compartment38is disposed in the top portion34and a portion of the bottom portion36directly adjacent the top portion34. A lower central compartment40is disposed in the bottom portion36in a position directly adjacent to the upper central compartment38and between the upper central compartment38and the bottom side24. An upper compartment42is disposed within the top portion34between the upper central compartment38and each of the right side26and the left side28. A lower compartment44is disposed within the bottom portion36between a portion of the upper central compartment38and the lower central compartment40and each of the right side26and the left side28.

A heating bulb48is disposed within the lower central compartment40. The heating bulb48is configured to heat an amount of doe urine to a temperature in a range of 37.2 degrees Celsius (98.96 degrees Farenheit) to 39.4 degrees Celsius (102.92 Farenheit). A variable temperature control switch52is disposed with one of the upper compartments42proximal the top side22. The variable temperature control switch52is in operational communication with the heating bulb48. An on-off switch54is disposed on the top side22proximal to and in operational communication with each of the temperature control switch52and the heating bulb48. At least one battery56is disposed in a respective one of the lower compartments42. The at least one battery56is in operational communication with the temperature control switch52. The battery56is rechargeable. A urine cup58is removably disposed within the upper central compartment38directly above the heating bulb48. The urine cup58is configured to contain the amount of doe urine therein. A charger59disposed within one of the lower compartments42proximal the at least one battery56is provided to charge the at least one battery56. A charger port60is in operational communication with the charger59.

A pivotable handle62is disposed on the top side22of the box20. A lock member65disposed on the front side30of the box20and is configured to secure the top portion34to the bottom portion36. The temperature control switch52is configured to selectively control the heating bulb48and permit the heating bulb48to heat the doe urine within the urine cup58to a temperature within the normal temperature range of a doe.
