  • Patent number: 11193727
    Abstract: A crossbow includes a barrel with a flight groove, and a bow. A magazine is mounted to the body and located above the flight groove. A passage is defined through the magazine for accommodating multiple arrows therein. A slot is formed between the magazine and the flight groove. A string of the bow movably extends through the slot. An arm is pivotably located in the passage and includes a hook end which normally presses on a top-most arrow of the arrows in the magazine. When no arrow is in the magazine, the hook end is inserted into the slot and the user cannot successfully cock the string because the string is stopped by the hook end, so that the user is acknowledged that there is no arrow in the magazine.

  • Patent number: 10378853
    Abstract: A crossbow includes a barrel, a retention unit, a link unit and a positioning unit. When the second link pivots toward the restriction member, the rod is moved with the slot of the restriction member, and the restriction member is pivoted relative to the second link. The pivotal action of the first link drives the retention unit to move in the arrow track and toward the bow. On the contrary, when the retention unit is connected to the bow, the second link is moved to its initial position, and the rod is engaged with the serrated portion to form a stand-by status. When the second link continuously pivots to disengage the rod from the serrated portion, the second link is engaged with the handle to form a completion status. During the cocking action, the users may have multiple stages of action to cock the crossbow.

  • Patent number: 10215520
    Abstract: A safety device connected to a shooting device or a crossbow includes a safety member that is moved to restrict an activating member from pivoting to prevent unintentionally shooting when replacing arrows at the ready-to-shoot status of the crossbow. A resilient member is used to pull the transmission plate to move toward the second end of a case of the crossbow to deactivate the restriction to the positioning member such that the positioning member pivots and protrudes beyond a notch of the case to stop the shooting action of the string. After a new arrow is positioned, the safety member is moved again to drive the transmission plate from the second end to the first end of the case, and the activating member is released from restriction and the arrow is ready to shoot.
