Publication number: 20070119439Abstract: An arrow rest rotatably having an arrow support movably mounted with respect to an archery bow. The arrow support can be simultaneously urged in one direction away from an arrow shaft during launch of the arrow shaft, and another portion of the arrow support can be urged in a second direction, toward the arrow shaft. The arrow rest of this invention can be used to accommodate or overcome a spined or bent arrow shaft, such as during initial launch of an arrow from an archery bow.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventor: Robert Mizek

Publication number: 20070079685Abstract: A plectrum or pick for plucking or strumming strings of a musical instrument. A first body has two surfaces that form a void between the two surfaces. A second body has a bridge that extends between surfaces of the second body. At least a portion of the bridge is positioned within at least a portion of the void. The two bodies can be integrated or joined with each other by any suitable injection molding process or other known molding or manufacturing process. The resulting plectrum or pick is durable and can be used to display trademarks, logos and other alphanumeric text or other designs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2005Publication date: April 12, 2007Inventor: Robert Mizek

Publication number: 20060052191Abstract: A rotatable arrowhead has a blade cartridge that can either rotate with respect to a carrier, that can be attached to an arrow shaft, or be fixed from such rotation. The carrier extends within a throughbore of the blade cartridge. When the blade cartridge is fitted with its throughbore surrounding a cartridge-receiving portion of the carrier, a retention member can be retainably engaged in a bore of the carrier to rotatably contain the blade cartridge between a front conical guide surface and a rear conical guide surface. A removable tip can be contained in the throughbore of the blade cartridge at a forward end of the arrowhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Robert Mizek, Miroslav Simo

Publication number: 20060011182Abstract: An arrow rest mountable to an archery bow for supporting an archery arrow with respect to the archery bow. The arrow rest includes a sensor that senses a first movement of the archery arrow with respect to the archery bow and/or a second movement of the archery bow, and transmits a signal upon sensing the first movement and/or the second movement. A signal processor in communication with the sensor receives the signal and moves the arrow rest in response to the received signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2004Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Miroslav Simo, Robert Mizek, Frank Harwath, Christopher Kozlik
-
Publication number: 20060011189Abstract: An archery component mountable with respect to an archery bow. The archery component includes a sensor that senses a movement of an archery arrow with respect to the archery bow and/or a movement of the archery bow. The sensor transmits a signal, upon sensing at least one movement, to a signal processor housed within a body of the archery bow and in communication with the sensor. The signal processor receives the signal and activates the archery component in response to the received signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2005Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Miroslav Simo, Robert Mizek, Frank Harwath, Christopher Kozlik, Gregory Smith

Publication number: 20050159256Abstract: An arrow fletching having a plurality of flexible vanes each having a generally tapered profile extending from a narrow end to a wide end. A kicker is integrated with a perimeter of the wide end of the flexible vane wherein the kicker includes a concave portion extending tangentially from the flexible vane. Additionally, each vane may have a concave side and/or increased surface roughness to create an arrow that travels faster, straighter and/or more accurately.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2004Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventors: Miroslav Simo, Robert Mizek, Frank Harwath
-
Publication number: 20050124444Abstract: A steering element for a blade which is preferably mounted with respect to or part of an arrowhead or broadhead. During flight, a leading surface of the steering element contacts with airflow. One or more force components act in a direction generally perpendicular to a flat surface of the blade, to impart rotation or spin of a body of the arrowhead about a longitudinal axis of the arrowhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2003Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: Robert Mizek, Miroslav Simo
-
Publication number: 20050113003Abstract: A method for forming a cutting edge along an edge portion of a blade stock, wherein the method includes moving the blade stock with respect to a first cutting element rotating about a first rotational axis, the first rotational axis forming one of an acute angle and a perpendicular angle with respect to the cutting edge, and contacting the edge portion and the first cutting element and forming a first cutting surface along the edge portion. The method may also include moving the blade stock with respect to a second cutting element rotating about a second rotational axis, the second rotational axis forming one of an acute angle and a perpendicular angle with respect to the cutting edge, and contacting the edge portion and the second cutting element and forming a second cutting surface along the edge portion so that the second cutting surface intersects the first cutting surface to form the cutting edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2003Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Robert Mizek, Frank Harwath, Miroslav Simo

Patent number: 6164864Abstract: A clamp assembly for adjustably attaching a bicycle or exercise device seat having seat support rails to a seat support post includes two spaced pairs of inner and outer cheekpieces which have parallel abutting surfaces inclined at an angle to the vertical, each of the cheekpiece pairs defining a seat rail receiving groove therebetween. Threaded fasteners attach the cheekpieces to each other and to a clamp support structure such that the cheekpieces slide relative to each other along a plane between the parallel abutting surfaces to open or close the grooves. The cheekpieces may also be pivotally mounted on the clamp support structure for simultaneous adjustment of the angle of inclination of the grooves and seat rails clamped therein merely by adjustment of the same threaded fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Inventors: Jimmie L. Beach, Robert Mizek, Dale R. Paes
