Diaphragm game call case
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a container for housing a diaphragm game call, comprising a case having a first member, a second member, and a line of connection therebetween, a fastening means for connecting the first and second members, and at least one moisture-retaining member disposed between the first and second members. The moisture-retaining member is preferably a sponge that can be soaked with an alcohol-free mouthwash, which helps to prevent the latex reed in the diaphragm game call from drying out and requiring replacement. The mouthwash also acts as a sanitizer to prevent the accumulation of germs and bacteria. A D-ring on the exterior of the case provides an attachment location for a lanyard, which allows a user to carry the device around his or her neck, or to remove the lanyard and carry the device in a pocket.
1. A container for housing a diaphragm game call, the container comprising:
a case comprising a first member defining a first interior, and a second member defining a second interior, wherein the first member and the second member are constructed of a water impervious material to prevent fluid from leaking through the container, and the first interior and the second interior together define an interior space sized to enclose the diaphragm game call;
the first member comprising a friction fit lid for closing the first member to the second member to enclose the interior space of the container;
a mount removably disposed within the second member; and
a compressible moisture-retaining material attached to the mount and removably disposed within the second member forming a compression space within the interior space and between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material, the compression space for storage of the diaphragm game call in contact with and compressed between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material.
2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the compressible moisture-retaining material comprises a sponge.
3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a D-ring for attachment of a lanyard thereto.
4. The container of claim 1 , wherein the compressible moisture-retaining material is soaked in a liquid to retain moisture in the diaphragm game call when placed therein.
5. The container of claim 4 , wherein the liquid comprises alcohol-free mouthwash.
6. The container of claim 1 , wherein the water impervious material comprises plastic, steel, or aluminum.
7. The container of claim 1 , wherein the mount is removably attached to the second member and constructed of a water impervious material.
8. The container of claim 7 , wherein the compressible moisture-retaining material is removably attached to the mount.
9. The container of claim 1 , further comprising the diaphragm game call disposed within the compression space.
10. A method of storing a diaphragm game call comprising:
providing a container comprising:
a case comprising a first member defining a first interior, and a second member defining a second interior, wherein the first member and the second member are constructed of a water impervious material to prevent fluid from leaking through the container, and the first interior and the second interior together define an interior space sized to enclose the diaphragm game call;
the first member comprising a friction fit lid for closing the first member to the second member to enclose the interior space of the container; and
a compressible moisture-retaining material disposed within the second member forming a compression space within the interior space and between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material, the compression space for storage of the diaphragm game call in contact with and compressed between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material;
combining a liquid with the compressible moisture-retaining material;
positioning a diaphragm game call onto the compressible moisture-retaining material; and
closing the case to house the diaphragm game call.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the liquid sanitizes the diaphragm game call.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the liquid moistens the diaphragm game call.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the liquid comprises alcohol-free mouthwash.
14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising opening the case to access the diaphragm game call.
15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising replacing the compressible moisture-retaining material.
16. A container for housing a diaphragm game call, the container comprising:
a case comprising a first member defining a first interior, and a second member defining a second interior, wherein the first member and the second member are constructed of a water impervious material to prevent fluid from leaking through the container, and the first interior and the second interior together define an interior space sized to enclose the diaphragm game call;
a compressible moisture-retaining material disposed within the second member forming a compression space within the interior space and between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material; and
a diaphragm game call disposed within the compression space in contact with and compressed between the first member and the compressible moisture-retaining material.
17. The container of claim 16 , further comprising a liquid disposed within the container.
18. The container of claim 17 , wherein the liquid comprises alcohol-free mouthwash.
19. The container of claim 16 , wherein the diaphragm game call comprises one or more reeds constructed of latex.
20. The container of claim 16 , further comprising a mount disposed within the second member and constructed of a water impervious material, wherein the compressible moisture-retaining material is removably attached to the mount.
