Patents by Inventor Daniel Edward Ellgass

Daniel Edward Ellgass has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8176644
    Abstract: An archery sight can include a scope with a Venturi-like inner opening, smaller in diameter at a narrow position and increasing in diameter toward each end, to provide a circular field of view through a range of off-axis angles. Archery sights with pins, such as extending into a scope, can include sight pin components that include bodies, tube-like parts extending to sight pin ends, optical fibers in the bodies and tube-like parts, and flexible, light-transmissive tubing that engages the bodies and surrounds the fibers along most of their exterior length. Each tube-like part can be attached to its body by inserting it into a portion of the body that surrounds it and then bending the portion of the body to produce one or more bends or kinks but without reducing inside diameter, so that a fiber can then be threaded through the tube-like part.

  • Patent number: 7610686
    Abstract: A device can include a support structure to be supported on a bow and that, through other structures and components, can support a viewing part such as an archery sight. For example, the support structure and a structure movable in an elevation direction can have paired guide surfaces that slide against each other, with opposite sets of guide surfaces having effective spans within a stable range despite a user pressing on one side, as in coarse adjustment. Guide surface shapes can allow only negligible relative movement, as with V-shapes. Gibs can be on guide surfaces, with some gibs adjustable to compensate wear, such as with springs. Also, a structure movable in a windage direction can have tapered bushings around guide pins that extend through them and can receive pressure from a spring-like component such as a spring wave washer. And a removable scope mounting device can have parts allowing adjustment around two axes.
