Publication number: 20240148609Abstract: A measured fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid from a storage container includes a measurement chamber, a fluid flow passage fluidly connecting the measurement chamber with the storage container, and a valve that is movable between an open position in which the fluid flow passage is opened to permit fluid flow from the storage chamber to the measurement chamber, and a closed position in which the fluid flow passage is closed to prevent fluid flow between the measurement chamber and the storage chamber. The measurement chamber may be adjustable to vary a fillable volume of the measurement chamber to thereby preselect an amount of fluid to be dispensed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: AMS LLCInventors: Matthew BATTLE, Adrian BISCHOFF

Patent number: 11841206Abstract: A bow has an arrow quiver further attached to a bowfishing bow or reel. The arrow quiver provides a clip that advantageously holds at least one arrow shaft along the bowfishing riser without interference with the line during use and may further hold one or more replacement tips and tools commonly used during the course of bowfishing. The replacement tips are stored to be easily accessible with the sharp points of the tips directed away from the user to avoid injury. Further, small hand tools, such as Allen wrenches or hex keys, are stored on the quiver in a manner which improves flexibility of the arrow clip.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: AMS, LLCInventors: Jeff Braun, Tim Morines

Patent number: 11632941Abstract: A bottle-style reel for bow-fishing and the like provides a retriever bottle that is tipped out of the vertical plane defined by the crank axis and the rotation of interengaging wheels that grip the fishing line and push it into the retriever bottle. In this way the retriever mechanism of the interengaging wheels can be aligned with the bow grip for reduced torque and simplified mounting.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: AMS, LLCInventors: Jeff Braun, Tim Morines, Mathew Schillinger

Patent number: 11566865Abstract: A reel suitable for bow fishing and the like provides a cowling covering a reel with a wide opening to reduce frictional restraint on high-speed paying out of the line with the flight of the arrow. An optional guide arm may be used to minimize line diversion and hence friction during line payout while absorbing forces when the line is retracted permitting use of a lighter cowling design without loss of strength. A high torque bevel gear transmission and safety lighting is further provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: AMS, LLCInventors: Jeff Braun, Tim Morines

Patent number: 11419323Abstract: A reel for fishing line or the like provides for extremely rapid payout by releasing the line to unwind by sliding rapidly around a guide surrounding the line spool and by rotation of the line spool itself. A handle extending rearwardly from the reel controls a line guide preventing sliding of the fishing line around the guide and providing controllable friction and locking of rotation of the line spool only when actuated by the user to permit retraction of the line or controlled tensioning of the line.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: AMS, LLCInventors: Jeff Braun, Tim Morines

Patent number: 11365999Abstract: A measured fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid from a storage container includes a measurement chamber, a fluid flow passage fluidly connecting the measurement chamber with the storage container, and a valve that is movable between an open position in which the fluid flow passage is opened to permit fluid flow from the storage chamber to the measurement chamber, and a closed position in which the fluid flow passage is closed to prevent fluid flow between the measurement chamber and the storage chamber. The measurement chamber may be adjustable to vary a fillable volume of the measurement chamber to thereby preselect an amount of fluid to be dispensed. The valve may be a rotating valve including first and second valve parts which may form a divider of the dispenser that separates the measurement chamber from the storage container.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: AMS LLCInventors: Matthew Battle, Adrian Bischoff

Patent number: 11320294Abstract: A fluid dispenser for measuring and dispensing fluid from a container includes a housing having a measurement chamber that defines a volume for receiving a predefined quantity of the fluid, a fluid flow passage having an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid in the container, and an outlet in fluid communication with the measurement chamber, such that the fluid flow passage permits fluid flow between the container and the measurement chamber. A valve member is provided that is movable in the flow passage to open the flow passage to permit fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber to thereby allow the volume of the measurement chamber to fill with the predefined quantity of fluid; and to close the flow passage to restrict fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber, and to isolate the predefined quantity of fluid to the measurement chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: AMS LLCInventors: Matthew Battle, Timothy Hayes, Sean Barry, Adrian Bischoff

Patent number: 10655942Abstract: A bowfishing arrow shaft is provided with a carbon fiber bow fishing arrow providing an outer tube with an internal wire rope. In this regard the wire rope provides added weight while being ductile to prevent damage to the carbon fiber tube or holding a “kink” preventing the arrow from fully returning to a straight configuration after extreme flexure of the carbon fiber tube which would otherwise be accommodate.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: AMS, LLCInventor: Kevin Schellinger
