Patent number: 10746501Abstract: An archery release device and method are disclosed herein. The archery release device, in an embodiment, includes a trigger, a leverage link and a cord holder. In the hold arrangement, the trigger, the leverage link and the cord holder are coupled together through a direct connection or an indirect connection. The coupling, direct or indirect, causes the cord holder to hold a draw cord when the cord holder is subject to a pulling force. In the release arrangement, a release interface of the leverage link is decoupled from the trigger, and another release interface of the leverage link is decoupled from the cord holder.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Copper John CorporationInventor: Eric C.

Publication number: 20030110648Abstract: A pin-type bow sight has dog-leg pins and straight pins so that the heads of the pins align along a common axis. The bow sight has a generally circular pin guard with a highlight of a distinctive color applied on the archer side to assist in distinguishing from the target background. The pins are each provided with an optical fiber light guide that passes through an eye or aperture at the tip of the pin. The optic fiber is formed with a set bend at its tip to avoid light loss at the bend, the bend having a radius at least five times the radius of the fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2003Publication date: June 19, 2003Applicant: Copper John CorporationInventor: Eric C.

Patent number: 6508005Abstract: The bow sight of the present invention includes at least one pin that doglegs from one of a multiple set of tracks to align the doglegged pin's head in a common axis with the pin heads of other pins that are positioned in other tracks. Each pin of the bow sight includes an aperture through a pin head that is aligned such that all fiber optic elements received in those apertures align with the archer's line of sight. The pin guard of the bow sight is circular and forms an integral portion of a proper sight picture for an archer.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Copper John CorporationInventor: Eric C.

Patent number: 6446347Abstract: The bow sight may be adjusted for elevation while maintaining the sight normal to an archer's line of sight. The bow sight of the invention enables the elevation block to traverse an arc, when being adjusted for elevation, that has a radius that approximates the distance from the elevation block to the archer's eye. The bow sight may also include a quick release carrier that maintains a predetermined alignment of the sight even through disassembly and reassembly. The bow sight may be disassembled for storage and reassembled without affecting the alignment of the sight. The frame of the bow sight may be easily manufactured by extruding and machining.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2000Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Inventor: Eric C. Springer
