Wind detection aid

Abstract

A refillable receptacle for housing and dispensing a fibrous, windbome material is disclosed. The receptacle includes a closure cap having one or more apertures for dispensing said fibrous material and has a threaded bottom for attachment to, and replacement of, the windage/elevation cap an optical scope. The threaded bottom also allows the device to be attached to an archery bow or bow stabilizer. The bottom of the device may also be adapted so as to allow attachment of the device to pliable articles such as fabric or clothing or to rigid articles such rails or platforms.

         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to a pliable material comprises a spring-loaded clip attached to said receptacle.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to a pliable material comprises a pin and latch mechanism attached to said receptacle.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to a pliable material comprises a button and snap fastener mechanism attached to said receptacle.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the external surface of said closure cap is knurled for better gripping when securing said closure cap to said receptacle.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said closure cap is provided with a singular circular opening or port centrally positioned along the topside of said cap.  
     
     
         9 . A wind detection aid comprising: 
 a fibrous wind-borne material;    a receptacle for housing and dispensing said fibrous wind-borne material and for attachment to articles of clothing having: 
 a chamber means with one open end for receiving and housing said fibrous material;  
 a means for attaching said receptacle to a rigid structures such as rails, beams or platforms; and,  
 a closure cap attached to the open end of said chamber means, said closure cap having one or more ports through which a portion of said fibrous material housed within said chamber means may be accessed and dispensed.  
   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said receptacle means is cylindrical in shape.  
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to rigid structures comprises providing one of end of said receptacle with a treaded male stud for mating with an appropriately machined nut.  
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to rigid structures comprises providing one of end of said receptacle with a suction cup.  
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the means for attaching said receptacle to rigid structures comprises providing one end of said receptacle with hook and loop material.  
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said receptacle is attached to said rigid structure by gluing one end of said receptacle to the surface of said rigid structure.  
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said receptacle is attached to said rigid structure by welding one end of said receptacle to the surface of said rigid structure.  
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said receptacle is attached to said rigid structure by soldering one end of said receptacle to the surface of said rigid structure.  
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein a portion of the external surface of said chamber means and a portion of the internal surface of said closure cap have been machined or adapted so as to create male and female threads, respectively, for securing said closure cap to the open end of said chamber means.  
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein a portion of the external surface of said closure cap is knurled for better gripping when securing said closure cap to said receptacle.  
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said closure cap is provided with a singular circular opening or port centrally positioned along the topside of said cap.
