  • Patent number: 5231971
    Abstract: A bow tuning tool has two coupling mechanisms. The first of these coupling mechanisms makes coupling contact with the archer's bow. The second makes coupling contact with an arrow shaft. By coupling the arrow shaft to the tool and bringing the tool into coupling contact with the bow, tuning adjustments to the blow are facilitated. A three-in-one bow tuning tool is derived: a Bow Square and Nock Set, used to set the height of an adjustable arrow rest and to locate nock points; a Bow Center set for setting the flight path of the arrow shaft past the bow; and, a Bow Tiller Gauge to equalize the setting of the tiller height above and below the point on the bow at which the bow is gripped.

  • Patent number: 4254707
    Abstract: A screen printing apparatus is provided, having a table on which the blank to be printed may be placed, and with the screen being brought into overlying relation to the blank for engagement of the screen by a squeegee for forcing through the screen, ink that has been applied to the screen, onto the work, with the squeegee generally downwardly pressing the screen a predetermined amount, to engagement with the work, as the squeegee traverses the screen from one end to the other. The screen is pivotally mounted at one end, and the other end is upwardly liftable to peel-off the screen from the work, as the squeegee traverses, so that those portions of the screen through which ink has already been applied to the work may be physically removed from the work to prevent smearing of ink on the work, as well as to prevent distortion. The upward movement of the screen away from the work is synchronized with the traversal of the squeegee across the screen.
