Appeal No. 2005-0944
Application No. 09/941,377
The subject matter on appeal relates to a method for
distributing a scented chemical composition for hunting animals
(claims 1 and 2) and to an apparatus for distributing a scented
chemical composition for hunting animals (claims 3-14 and 16-
20). Further details of this appealed subject matter are
recited in representative claims 1 through 3, and 9 reproduced
below:
1. A method for distributing a scented chemical
composition for hunting animals, the method
comprising:
providing a pressurized dispenser for pressure
based dispensing of a foam string from a distance away
from a target, the distance being sufficient to avoid
an ambient environment being contaminated by human
scent, the foam string including the scented chemical
composition to attract animals or mask human scent or
both; and
discharging the foam string toward the target.
2. A method for a hunter to hunt animals by
dispensing a chemical composition that emits a scent
from a dispenser, the method comprising;
configuring a can to dispense a liquid-gas foam
string of encapsulated plastic resin, the string
including the chemical composition;
providing the chemical composition so as to emit
the scent for a selected period of time after being
dispensed, wherein the scent attracts animals or masks
human scent; and
dispensing the string from the can toward a
target, the string being dispensed far enough away
from the can that the hunter does not substantially
this amendment. (Examiner’s answer mailed on Jul. 20, 2004 at
