Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an arrow rest usable with an archery bow to support an arrow shaft in a ready-to-draw position during the draw and until the release of the arrow by an archer. The arrow rest preferably aligns an elongate axis of the arrow shaft in a desired path which the arrow follows during release from the bow and at least initially towards the target. In certain embodiments, the arrow rest includes a support frame mounted to an archery bow riser. At least one resilient, inwardly extending support piece made from a sheet-based material extends across the frame to radially support portions of the arrow shaft. In use, arrow rests according to preferred embodiments of the present invention preferably support the arrow in place and impede the arrow from laterally escaping from the arrow rest.

Abstract: The invention relates to an archery device having a part or component is injection molded; the part is injection molded metal, ceramic, or composite material. A sight pin for a bow sight is a part that is especially suited for being injection mold. Injection molding of metal, ceramic or composite sight pins allows for various cross-sectional shapes and areas for the pin along its length. The injection molded sight pin can be a vertically extending pin or a horizontally positioned pin, and multiple pins may be configured for viewing in a straight line.

Abstract: An arrowhead assembly and a method for assembling an arrowhead are provided. The arrowhead of the disclosure is secured to an inside portion of the arrow shaft and the outside portion of the arrow shaft. In some embodiments the arrow tip threads into an insert that is secured within the tip of the arrowhead. Also, in some embodiments, a sleeve extends over the end of the arrow shaft and is radially compressed onto the shaft.

Abstract: This invention relates to an archery quiver that can be conveniently attached to a bow for securely and safely carrying a plurality of arrows. The quiver includes, among other things, an improved arrangement for engaging and securing the arrows within the quiver.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of targeting. The method includes positioning a sight point so that the sight point can be used to shoot targets located at different positions relative to the shooter. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a sighting arrangement for facilitating the practice of the above-identified method.

Abstract: A drop-away arrow rest having an arrow support arm that drops in a straight, non-pivotal and non-rotational path. The arrow rest that has an arrow support arm that lifts the arrow, from a first, relaxed, position to a second, actuated, position when the archer draws the bowstring. Upon release of the bowstring, the arrow support arm drops, with vertical, non-rotational and non-pivotal movement, in a straight line, to return to its relaxed state. Actuation and release of the arrow support arm is accomplished by an attachment to the bowstring, such as a cord, and by a biasing means. The arrow rest includes various adjustment means that allow lateral and/or horizontal positioning of the arrow in relation to the bow handle.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a frame assembly includes the steps of providing an underbody assembly including a plurality of structural components that are secured together so as to be generally planar in shape; providing first and second sidebody assemblies that each include a plurality of structural components that are secured together so as to be generally planar in shape; and securing the underbody assembly to the first and second sidebody assemblies to form a frame assembly. The underbody assembly can be formed by securing first and second longitudinally extending, closed channel beams to a plurality of closed channel cross members. Each of the sidebody assemblies can be formed by securing a closed channel lower rocker rail and closed channel upper roof rail to a plurality of pillars. Each of the pillars can be formed by initially securing a first stamping to the lower rocker rail and the upper roof rail, then securing a second stamping to each of the first stampings.

Abstract: A method is performed for permanently attaching framing structural members to an underbody of an automotive vehicle. An underbody structural member including one or more cross members and a plurality of metallic structural members are provided at a workstation. The underbody structural member is aligned to the plurality of metallic structural members at the workstation. The assembled underbody structural member and the plurality of metallic structural members are permanently and simultaneously secured at the workstation using magnet pulse welding.

Abstract: A vehicle frame assembly for an automotive vehicle comprises an underbody structural member including a generally planar floor portion, and one or more cross members. A plurality of metallic structural members includes body side structures wherein the body side structures are secured to the aluminum underbody structural member by magnetic pulse welding.

Abstract: A vehicle frame assembly comprises a hydroformed vertical member (e.g., b-pillar), a hydroformed longitudinal member (e.g., roof rail), and a cross member with a transition flange wrapping above or below the longitudinal member. The transition flange provides rounded comers to enhance the door seal feature. In the preferred embodiment, the transition flange may be integrally formed as part of a stamped cross member or may be a separately formed transition bracket member attached to the cross member.
