  • Patent number: 4642929
    Abstract: An archery fish point for arrows having a floating barb with an extended straight portion adapted to lie along the shaft of the arrow and terminating in a loop which encircles a reduced diameter elongated support member attached to the penetrating point. In flight and during penetration of the point, the barb lies flat along the shaft. When the shaft is pulled in the reverse direction, the barb extends outwardly to an angle determined by the relative sizes of the inner diameter of the loop on the barb and the diameter of the support member.

  • Patent number: 4085473
    Abstract: A removable deck platform is attached to the stern transom of a boat for extending the effective deck space of the boat rearwardly. Hinges are used to removably attach the deck platform to the transom. Triangular support braces attached to the bottom of the deck platform extend downwardly from the platform and rest against the transom when the platform is in place. A railing extends upwardly around the outer periphery of the platform, and the effective useful length of the boat is enhanced by attaching two rearwardly facing swivel chairs to the upper edge of the stern of the boat.

  • Patent number: 4073328
    Abstract: An arrow quiver particularly suited for use by hunters and worn on the back comprises an open, elongated frame with an abutment at its upper end against which the arrow heads are pressed. The arrows are aligned and spaced from one another by a pair of bridges, the lowermost one of which has a number of spaced slots across it, each slot accomodating the shaft of an arrow. The slots are tapered so that they are narrower on the side facing the upper portion of the quiver and are made of resilient material which overlaps the shaft of an arrow pressed into the slot. The shape of the slots facilitates loading of the arrows into the quiver and sliding them upwardly to permit the heads to rest against the abutment. The taper of the slots, however, impedes movement of arrows through the slots downwardly away from the abutment to hold them firmly in place until removal is desired by pivoting the arrows outwardly out of the slots.
