  • Patent number: 11118878
    Abstract: Archery apparatus for broadheads includes a tip with a plurality of edges adapted to penetrate hard tissue. The tip is located on the forward end of a body. The body can be mounted on an arrow shaft. A plurality of articulating blades are pivotally mounted on the body to swing between an extended position and a backwardly folded position. One or more fixed blades are mounted on the body behind the articulating blades. A resilient device can keep the articulating blades in the extended position during unimpeded flight, but will allow the articulating blades to fold backwardly while encountering hard tissue in a target. The articulating blades extend outwardly after passing by the hard tissue.

  • Patent number: 9372046
    Abstract: An accessory for an archery bow and bow string that are centered on a bow plane. The accessory has a support that is attached to forearm brace and is adapted to be supported by the bow. The forearm brace extends around a forearm axis at least 90° and is sized to at least partially encompass a forearm. The brace has an opening for inserting a forearm. This opening is oriented in a direction that points outwardly without tilting toward the bow plane. The support is adapted to position at least a portion of the brace forward of the bow string when in its neutral position. An archer can grasp the bow and insert into the brace a forearm that is encompassed by the brace for at least 90°. The archer can draw and release the bow string, allowing the brace to stabilize the angle of elevation of the bow.

  • Patent number: 8955504
    Abstract: A C-shaped forearm brace attaches to a bow through a support and a bracket that is attached to the front of a bow's riser. The brace extends arcuately around a forearm axis at least 180°, to partially encompass a forearm. The support is mounted in a slot in the brace and extends outwardly, transverse to the forearm axis. The support can be adjusted to allow angular and linear translation of the forearm brace relative to an axis that is parallel to the forearm axis. The forearm brace is circumferentially repositionable along the support. The support may be a post with a bearing surface skewed relative to a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis. Walls on opposite sides of this bearing surface straddle part of the forearm brace. The bracket supports a rearwardly extending element that attaches to and supports the post.

  • Patent number: 8776772
    Abstract: An accessory for an archery bow has a C-shaped forearm brace attached to the distal end of a support. The support can be supported on the bow. The brace extends arcuately around a forearm axis at least 180° in order to partially encompass a forearm. The support is mounted in an arcuate slot in the brace and extends outwardly, transverse to the forearm axis. The support can be adjusted to allow angular and linear translation of the forearm brace relative to an adjustment axis that is parallel to the forearm axis. The forearm brace is circumferentially repositionable along the support. The support may be a post with a bearing surface skewed relative to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. This post may have on opposite sides of the bearing surface, a pair of walls that straddle a peripheral portion of the forearm brace.
