Abstract: A quiver is adapted for detachable mounting on an archery bow to hold hunting arrows, while they are spaced upright with their sharp hunting heads quickly, releasably positioned in a protective hood above, and with their nocks quickly, releasably held below on a cross-retainer or nock bar, while all their nocks are aligned. The arrows are removed upon a quick uplifting motion, followed by a quick offset lowering motion, and then followed by a ninety-degree vertical rotational motion, whereby the nock of a withdrawn arrow is in alignment for quickly fitting the bowstring in a shooting position. To accommodate groups of arrows having the same overall lengths, which are different from groups of arrow having the same common longer or shorter lengths, an embodiment of the quiver is longitudinally adjustable. The nocks preferably snap on and snap off the cross-retainer. The sharp hunting heads have their entry portions positioned in a resilient material within the protective hold.

Abstract: An improved restraint and alignment assembly for use with a string-mounted archery peepsight includes a nonelastic member, such as a flat-braid nylon cord that is tied between an eyelet on a post extending from the peepsight and an eyelet formed in a connector, which, in turn, is fastened to one end of an elastic member, such as a portion of latex surgical tubing. A second end of the elastic member is fastened to a post extending from an anchor pad secured to the inside of an upper limb of a compound bow. The nonelastic member extends through a safety clip that surrounds a cable of the compound bow at a location between the connector and the peepsight. The foregoing arrangement serves to limit any unwanted rearward travel of portions of the elastic member if the elastic member fails to be continuously secured between the anchor pad and the connector, thereby preventing any portion of the elastic member from reaching the face or eyes of the archer.

Abstract: An adjustable crosshair sight for archery bows comprises a frame in which a plurlity of horizontal wires are mounted in parallel spaced relation such that the vertical distance between adjacent wires can be varied. A vertical wire is mounted in the frame bisecting the horizontal wires, thereby forming a series of vertically spaced crosshairs within the frame. The horizontal wires provide a series of range references to the archer while the vertical wire provides a windage reference. The frame is movably mounted on the bow such that the crosshairs are in the line of sight of the archer when he is in position to shoot and the horizontal distance between the frame and the bow can be adjusted, thereby varying the distance between the vertical wire and the bow and providing a sideways or windage adjustment in the sight.

Abstract: A peep sight having a body with a sighting bore therethrough. The body receives a bow string and is connected by an elastic cord to the bow. When the bow string is in a drawn position the sight bore in the body of the peep sight is substantially horizontal. When the bow string is in a relaxed condition the bore is in an angled position with the longitudinal extension of the bow string. An elastic cord, such as a piece of flexible tubing, has one end fitted onto a pin extending from the body of the peep sight and a second end fitted onto a block which itself is adapted to be secured to an archery bow. As the bow string is drawn upon mounting of the body on the bow string and securing of the block to the archery bow, the elastic cord stretches to exert a force upon the body to align a sighting bore or "peep" therethrough with a bow-mounted bow sight.

Abstract: After discussion of prior art electrical terminations for floor ducts in which a plurality of electrical cables are located, a pull-out receptacle for such floor ducts is disclosed which includes a sleeve configured to be received in an aperture extending between a floor surface and the interior of the floor duct, with the sleeve having a circumferential flange adapted to overlie those portions of the floor surface adjacent to the floor aperture. A recess is provided in a top surface of the sleeve, and an aperture extends from that recess through the sleeve. A closure member is provided which includes a core configured to be received within the sleeve aperture with a reciprocative, sliding fit, and an integral cap configured to be received in the recess. A first passageway is provided in the core, and a second passageway in the cap, the second passageway communicating with the first passageway for allowing electrical cables to be pulled therethrough.
