  • Archery bows, connector apparatuses and rings for archery bow accessories, and methods for removable securing archery bow accessories to archery bows
    Patent number: 6612299
    Abstract: A connector apparatus for removably securing an archery bow accessory to an archery bow. The connector apparatus includes a base that is discrete from the archery bow. The base has a first portion configured for removably securing the archery bow accessory thereon and a second portion spaced from the first portion. The second portion defines a stem that extends axially from the second portion. The stem terminates to define at least one projection extending laterally and generally perpendicularly relative the stem axis. The projection is spaced from the second portion of the base. The invention further includes a discrete body to be removably secured to an archery bow. The discrete body defines an outer surface and bore having a peripheral wall extending from the outer surface to a lowermost elevation spaced from the outer surface. A pair of ledges extend laterally inwardly from opposite sides of the peripheral wall, and the pair of ledges are spaced from the lowermost elevation.

  • Archery bows, connector apparatuses for archery bow accessories, and methods for removably securing archery bow accessories to archery bows
    Patent number: 6568382
    Abstract: A connector apparatus for removably securing an archery bow accessory to an archery bow. The connector apparatus includes a female member removably secured to an archery bow and defines an opening to a first bore that extends along a bore axis. At least one ball bearing is configured within the female member for radial movement relative the bore axis. The at least one ball bearing has a peripheral portion within the first bore. A male member includes a first portion configured for removably securing an archery bow accessory thereon. The male member includes a second portion that is spaced from the first portion and configured for positioning axially past the at least one ball bearing relative the opening with the peripheral portion of the at least one ball bearing biased radially more proximate the bore axis than a periphery defined by the second portion.
