  • Patent number: 5123396
    Abstract: An accessory mount for removable rigid securement of an accessory to a bow is disclosed. In one version, an accessory mount is integrally formed in the outer side face of the bow and provides for the mounting of a bow quiver, a sight for the archer to use in aiming, an overdraw mechanism, or other accessory. More specifically, the mount includes a recess and is defined by a bottom wall of a shallow depth and a pair of horizontal spaced sidewalls and a front wall. The front wall of the recess includes a pair of rectilinear walls extending forwardly and joined at an angle, preferably obtuse, thereby creating a wedge shape having an apex point. The accessory to be mounted includes a corresponding wedge-shaped shoe for fitting into the recess. Threaded fasteners securely engage the shoe in the recess. In alternative versions, male and female interlocking members are provided respectively on the accessory and the archery bow.

  • Patent number: 5005554
    Abstract: An archery bow handle or riser, in which the riser is cut out sufficiently to permit a broad head arrowhead to pass rearwardly of the hand grip section, and upon release of the arrow, to avoid interference with the riser by both the broad head point as well as the vanes at the rear portion of the arrow is disclosed. Provision is made beneath the riser sight window offset to mount an arrow rest, which may interlock into a cutout, and which extends somewhat further offset in order to position the arrow on the centerline of the bow so that it will behave as an arrow fired with a prior-art type bow handle riser, but accommodating a shorter arrow with a broad head, and avoiding the frictional and deflecting contact of the vanes with the riser. Vane deflection may be a problem with any length arrow and any type of arrow head used on a bow without the sight window offset feature as set forth in the present invention.

  • Patent number: 4697350
    Abstract: A combination bracket for securing to a bow. The bracket in a unitary and properly spaced fashion, provides for the mounting of a bow quiver, and also a sight for the archer to use in aiming the bow. More specifically the unit includes a central combination bracket mounting segment from which the sight bracket extends in one direction and the bow quiver bracket extends in another direction. The unit is symmetrical about a horizontal axis. This symmetrical configuration makes the mount suitable for left-hand or right-hand applications. The unit may be produced by injection molding of plastic, machining, or casting by the various known techniques.
