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 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 comprising a film extruded from a mixture of a polymeric material and a scented compound such that the inner layer has a scent that disperses from the inner layer without manipulation of the container;    opening the container;    positioning the object in the container;    sealing the container to encapsulate the object in the container; and    storing the object in the container for a period of time sufficient to permit the scent of the inner layer to disperse from the inner layer without manipulation of the container and to be imparted to the object while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the scent.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein in the step of providing the container each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the storing step further comprises the step of securing the container to a ring binder carrying case.  
     
     
         4 . 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 comprising a film extruded from a mixture of a polymeric material and a compound scented with a fish attractant such that the inner layer has a fish attractant scent that disperses from the inner layer without manipulation of the container;    opening the container;    positioning the fish bait in the container;    sealing the container to encapsulate the fish bait in the container; and    storing the fish bait in the container for a period of time sufficient to permit the fish attractant scent of the inner layer to disperse from the inner layer without manipulation of the container and to be 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.    
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein in the step of providing the container each of the outer layer and the inner layer is fabricated of a flexible material.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the storing step further comprises the step of securing the container to a ring binder carrying case.
