William R. McConnell - Jonesborough TN

International Classification:

F41B 518

US Classification:

124 352

Abstract:

A breech device for assisting in drawing and releasing an archery bow string, the device having an elongated body, a trigger pivotally mounted on the body and extending generally upwardly beyond the top of the body, a latch arrest roller on the trigger and having an arc segment, a latch arm pivotally mounted at one end on the body and having a latch point at its other end, the latch arm being pivotal for engaging its latch point with the arrest roller within the arc segment and preventing pivotal rearward movement of the latch arm in its firing direction until the trigger is manually, forcibly, rearwardly pivoted toward its firing position, a bowstring keeper on one end of the latch arm whereby tension applied to the keeper by drawing of the bowstring will tend to pivot the latch arm in a direction tending to forcibly maintain engagement of the latch point with the arrest roller, and wherein the keeper has a non-typical large bowstring contact area.
