Inventors:

Daniel A. Summers - Monroe VA 24574

International Classification:

F41B 522

US Classification:

124 445

Abstract:

A housing has a hollow interior with coupling components for releasably coupling the housing to a bow. A shaft has an interior segment and an exterior segment. The interior segment is rotatably supported within the housing. A generally Y-shaped launcher has a downwardly extending arm and two laterally spaced upwardly extending arms. The downwardly extending arm has an aperture receiving the exterior segment of the shaft for the rotation of the launcher. A thumbwheel is mounted on the interior component of the shaft for rotation by the user to rotate the shaft and launcher to an intermediate orientation. A cord has a first end. The first end is secured to the thumbwheel for rotating the thumbwheel. A second end is coupled to the string. Pulling the string will rotate the shaft and launcher to an essentially vertical orientation.

Inventors:

Daniel A. Summers - Madison Heights VA

International Classification:

F42B 606

US Classification:

473578

Abstract:

An arrow nock system for use with an arrow. The arrow may include cylindrical shaft with a frusto-conical projection at the rear. A butt piece with a complementary frusto-conical interior bore is secured to the projection. The butt piece includes a proximal half, closer to the arrow, with a cylindrical outer surface equal to the diameter of the arrow shaft, and a distal half with a frusto-conical outer surface. Near the outer end of the distal half is an annular indentation. A nock piece includes a frusto-conical interior bore complementary with the distal half of the butt piece.

International Classification:

F41B 500
F41B 518

US Classification:

124 91

Abstract:

Disclosed is a new bow nock device for use with a conventional release aid for extending the useful life of a bowstring by eliminating wear caused by the release aid and additionally for improving accuracy by aligning an arrow directly in front of the release aid to maintain the arrow at a 90. degree. angle relative the longitudinal axis of the bow during the entire arrow release process. The bow nock device comprises a U-shaped member attachable to the bowstring for gripping by the release aid and for positioning a nocked end of the arrow between the ends thereof. The U-shaped member has a bowstring receiving groove formed on each end, each groove having a flared mouth for preventing bowstring chafing, and internal facing protrusions co-pending with the end of the arrow for stabilizing the same. Two fastening plates, attached to the U-shaped member with flat head machine screws, hold the bowstring within the bowstring receiving grooves whereby clampedly retaining the bowstring within the grooves.
