Container with scented interior

Abstract

A container and method for storing and imparting a scent to an object. The container having an outer layer formed to define an object receiving space and fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material. The container further having an inner layer having a scent incorporated therein such that, upon an object being disposed in the object receiving space, the scent of the inner layer is imparted to the object while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the scent.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A container, comprising: 
 an outer layer formed to define an object receiving space, the outer layer fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material and having an outer surface and an inner surface; and    an inner layer positioned on at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer layer, the inner layer having a scent incorporated therein such that, upon an object being disposed in the object receiving space, the scent of the inner layer is imparted to the object while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the scent.    
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.  
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the outer layer is provided with an access opening.  
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 3  wherein outer layer has a closure member for selectively opening and closing the access opening.  
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the outer layer is provided with at least one hole to permit the container to be secured in a ring binder carrying case.  
     
     
         7 . A container for storing a fish bait, comprising: 
 an outer layer formed to define an object receiving space, the outer layer fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material and having an outer surface and an inner surface; and    an inner layer positioned on at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer layer, the inner layer having a fish attractant scent incorporated therein such that, upon a fish bait being disposed in the object receiving space, the fish attractant scent of the inner layer is imparted to the fish bait while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the fish attractant scent.    
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7  wherein the outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.  
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 7  wherein the outer layer is provided with an access opening.  
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 9  wherein outer layer has a closure member for selectively opening and closing the access opening.  
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 7  wherein each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 7  wherein the outer layer is provided with at least one hole to permit the container to be secured in a ring binder carrying case.  
     
     
         13 . A container in combination with a fish bait, the container comprising: 
 an outer layer formed to define an object receiving space in which the fish bait is disposed, the outer layer fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material and having an outer surface and an inner surface; and    an inner layer positioned on at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer layer, the inner layer having a fish attractant scent incorporated therein such that the fish attractant scent of the inner layer is imparted to the fish bait disposed in the object receiving space of the outer layer while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the fish attractant scent.    
     
     
         14 . The combination of  claim 13  wherein the outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.  
     
     
         15 . The combination of  claim 13  wherein the outer layer is provided with an access opening.  
     
     
         16 . The combination of  claim 15  wherein outer layer has a closure member for selectively opening and closing the access opening.  
     
     
         17 . The combination of  claim 13  wherein each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         18 . The combination of  claim 13  wherein the outer layer is provided with at least one hole to permit the container to be secured in a ring binder carrying case.  
     
     
         19 . A method of storing and imparting a scent to an object, comprising: 
 providing a container having an outer layer fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material and an inner layer having a scent incorporated therein;    opening the-container;    positioning the object in the container; and    closing the container to encapsulate the object in the container whereby the object is stored in the container and the scent of the inner layer is imparted to the object while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the scent.    
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein in the step of providing the container each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising the step of securing the container to a ring binder carrying case.  
     
     
         22 . A method of storing and imparting a scent to a fish bait, comprising: 
 providing a container having an outer layer fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material and an inner layer having a fish attractant scent incorporated therein;    opening the container;    positioning the fish bait in the container; and    closing the container to encapsulate the fish bait in the container whereby the fish bait is stored in the container and the fish attractant scent of the inner layer is imparted to the fish bait while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the fish attractant scent.    
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 19  wherein in the step of providing the container each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising the step of securing the container to a ring binder carrying case.
