Title: Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish

Description:
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT 
     Not applicable 
     BACKGROUND OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     Field of the Embodiments 
     The general field of the embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish is game hunting and fishing accessories. More specifically, the field of the embodiments relates to dispersal of attractant fluids for attracting game animals and fish. 
     Description of Prior Art 
     Hunting game routinely requires the hunter to place scent in the field to attract game. The prior art consists of containers of scent placed in a location and opened to allow the scent to escape. A drawback of the prior art is that these devices are expensive and do not provide a long-duration of scent application. 
     SUMMARY OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     Embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish are comprised of 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. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish in order 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. There are, of course, additional features of the embodiments that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Embodiments of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish  100  comprise a pouch  101 , a top cap  102 , a spout  103 , a spout cap  104 , and a spout aperture  202 . 
     One embodiment of the Dripper Bag  100  comprises a pouch  101 , where the pouch forms a sombrero hang hole  503 , a duel core tin tie  901  removably affixed to the side of the pouch  101 . 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  100  comprises an optional carabiner  502  that is threaded through the sombrero hang hole  503  and is used to attach the Dripper Bag  100  to a tree, fence, or other structure from which to hang the Dripper Bag  100 . 
     Another embodiment of the Dripper Bag  100  comprises an optional zip aperture  501 . The zip aperture  501  forms interlocking ridges near the edges of the opening to be easily closed or sealed by pressing one side of the opening against the other. The zip aperture  501  can be used to fill the pouch  101  with liquid attractant. 
     The pouch  101  is comprised of thin polymeric material or thin metallized polymeric material that is used to contain the liquid scent or liquid attractant desired to be distributed. The pouch is a fixed at its bottom to a spout. In one embodiment, the spout is comprised of a spout aperture  103  and a spout aperture cap  104 . In another embodiment, the spout is comprised of a spout ball valve  401 . The spout ball valve  401  can be used to adjust the rate of flow of the contents of the Dripper Bag for Attracting Game and Fish  100  per the requirements of the user. 
     In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag  100  the spout is 10 mm in diameter and the spout is covered with a foil tamper seal  902 . The tamper seal  902  provides the means to drip the liquid scent from the pouch. The tamper seal  902  is covered with a spout cap  104  for shipment and transportation and to prevent inadvertent puncture of the foil tamper seal. A dual core tin tie  901  is a fixed to the side of the pouch  101  with an adhesive means that permits removal of the dual core tin tie  901 . The pouch  101  also forms an opening in the form of a sombrero  503  at the top of the pouch to permit hanging of the pouch  101  from a tree or other vertical structure. 
     The dual core tin tie has added at its end a pre-serrated separation cut approximately 0.25 inches from its tip. This pre-serrated separation cut permits the user to grasp the plastic sheath  1001  end of the dual core tin tie  901  and remove the plastic sheath  1001  from the end. The dual core tin tie  901  can then be used to puncture the foil tamper seal  902  on the spout permitting flow of the liquid scent. 
     The spout  103  is comprised of a threaded connection that permits removal of the spout cap  104 . On the end of the spout  103  is placed with adhesive means the foil tamper seal  902 . The spout cap  104  is then threadedly affixed to the spout. 
     In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag  100  the spout  103  comprises a dripper nozzle and a cap. In this embodiment, the flow is regulated by the size of the dripper nozzle. Dripper nozzles of various size. In yet another embodiment of the of the Dripper Bag  100  a spout insert is placed between the pouch and the nozzle. The spout insert allows the user to regulate the flow of the liquid scent by replacing the spout insert with appropriate flow rated inserts. 
     In another embodiment of the Dripper Bag  100 , the Dripper Bag is comprised a pouch  101 , a top flow reducer  1100 , a bottom flow reducer  1200 . The top flow reducer  1100  is affixed to the pouch via a threaded aperture formed by the pouch  904 . 
     The top flow reducer  1100  is comprised of a top cap  1102 , one or more flow restriction capillaries  1101 , a threaded midportion  1103 , and a lower threaded portion  1104 . The threaded midportion  1103  threads into the aperture form by the pouch  904 . The top cap  1102  provides a holding volume with inside the pouch to allow the contents of the pouch to be released. The lower threaded allow the bottom flow restriction  1200  to be inserted via a threaded connection. The one or more flow restriction capillaries  1101  pass from the top of the top flow reducer  1101  to the opening at the bottom of the top flow reducer  1100  that forms the lower threaded portion  1104 . The one or more flow restriction capillaries  1101  allow for the fluid in the pouch to be properly metered for release. Different flow rates can be accommodated by changing the number of flow restriction capillaries or though diameter of the one or more flow restriction capillaries. 
     The bottom flow reducer  1200  is comprised of a threaded portion  1202  and a single capillary  1201 . The bottom flow reducer  1200  is threadedly attached to the upper flow reducer  1100  via the lower threaded portion  1104  of the top flow reducer  1100 . 
     The flow path for the fluid in the Dripper Bag  100  proceeds as follows. The fluid to be dispensed collects in the top cap  1102  and proceeds through the flow restriction capillaries  1101  and into the area formed by the lower threaded portion  1104 . The floor then proceeds through the bottom flow reducer  1200  via the single capillary  1201 . The combination of the what are more flow restriction capillaries  1101  in the single capillary  1201  allows for precise and reproducible metering of the fluid to the outside of the Dripper Bag  100 .
