BACKGROUND ARTHunting is the practice of capturing birds or animals using a tool such as a gun or a bow. Hunting is also referred to as shooting. Hunting was an essential means of living for ancient humans, but as time passed, the purpose of hunting has changed from a living into a game. In modern times, hunting is mainly perceived as a leisure activity.
Among bows generally used for hunting, a compound bow uses an effect of a cam or a wheel and thus is easily drawn without applying a strong force thereto. When an arrow is fired, the compound bow increases power to fire the arrow. Thus, the arrow may be fast and have very strong power.
However, the above-described compound bow and an arrow used therein are large and long, and thus, it is inconvenient to carry the compound bow during hunting. In addition, the arrow is not easy to store.
On the other hand, as an arrow used in a short bow, a pyunjuhn used in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea may be exemplified. The pyunjuhn refers to an arrow having a very short length as compared with a normal long arrow. The pyunjuhn is also referred to as an aegisal in Korean, and the aegisal is translated and referred to as a baby arrow. A baby arrow and a side arrow are another name for the pyunjuhn.
The pyunjuhn is fired in a state of being inserted into a tongah manufactured by cutting a bamboo in half. An arrow with a triangular head, which is a short hunting arrow like the pyunjuhn, is difficult to insert into the tongah and fire. In addition, due to a length of the long tongah, inconvenience is caused and a great deal of time is consumed when an arrow is reloaded. In addition, since the tongah for the pyunjuhn has a structure in which the tongah may not be attached to and detached from a limb of a bow and may not be rotated, it is inconvenient to use the tongah.
As a hunting bow related to the conventional art, a “compound bow” is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1249250 (published on Apr. 1, 2013, hereinafter referred to as “conventional art”).
The compound bow of the conventional art includes a bow handle gripped by a user with a hand, a pair of bow wings of which one sides are coupled to both ends of the bow handle, two pulleys coupled to rear ends of the pair of bow wings to be rotatable about a rotating shaft, and a bowstring formed between the two pulleys and pulled back to fire an arrow. At least one of the bow wheels is rotatably coupled to the bow handle. When tension of the bowstring is to be adjusted or when the bow is to be disassembled or repaired, in order to adjust a distance between the two pulleys to adjust or release the tension of the bowstring, the compound bow includes a wing rotation portion for rotating the bow wing rotatably coupled to the bow handle.
According to the conventional art, when the tension of the bowstring is to be adjusted or when the bow is to be disassembled or repaired in case of an emergency, it is possible to easily adjust the tension of the bowstring and to disassemble, repair, or assemble the bow without a separate apparatus.
However, as described above, since the conventional art is related to the compound bow, the compound bow and an arrow used therein are large and long, and thus, it is inconvenient to carry the compound bow during hunting. In addition, the arrow is not easy to store.

As shown in
The plurality of guide parts may accommodate and guide a hunting arrow including an arrow shaft 5 and a triangular arrowhead and a triangular arrow feather, which are attached to the arrow shaft 5 at the same angle. The guide parts include the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 which have a rhombic cross section with an open upper side. Only four guide parts, i.e., the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40, are shown in the present exemplary embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of the guide parts may be more than four or less than four.
The first guide part 10 includes two inclined portions which are formed as two pieces separated by an interval, an inclined rear surface connected to the two inclined portions, an arrow shaft mounting portion 50 on which the arrow shaft 5 is mounted, and an opening between the two inclined portions. The hunting arrow is inserted through an opening 10-5 between the two inclined portions, i.e., a gap which is the opening 10-5 between the two pieces, i.e., the two inclined portions, and then, the hunting arrow is accommodated and guided in a space between the two inclined portions and the arrow shaft mounting portion 50.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the above-described arrow shaft mounting portion 50 may have a V-shaped or arc-shaped groove formed in an upper surface thereof, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The arrow shaft mounting portion 50 may have grooves with other shapes according to a shape of the arrow shaft.
In addition, in the first guide part 10, ends of the two pieces, which are in contact with the opening 10-5 and face each other, include rounded portions 10-4 and 10-4′. One ends of inclined portions of the second and third guide parts 20 and 30 include rounded portions 20-4 and 30-4. One ends, i.e., the rounded portions 20-4 and 30-4, are aligned with outer ends of the second and third stoppers 20-1 and 30-1.
The extensible arrow guide for hunting further includes a support portion 41 attached to an upper surface of the fourth stopper 40-1 to support inclined surfaces of the guide parts 10, 20, and 30 or the first, second, and third stoppers 10-1, 20-1, and 30-1 according to an extended length thereof.
In an elasticity applying portion, the ring-shaped eyes 20-2 and 30-2 are installed at upper ends of at least two of the first, second, third, and fourth stoppers 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, and 30-4 and have first and second string guide holes 20-3 and 30-3. The ring 80 is installed at an end of the inclined rear surface of the first guide part 10. The clockwork 65 is disposed in a clockwork housing 60 attached to an inclined rear surface of the fourth guide part 40 through a fixing portion 62 and includes a clockwork spring. The bobbin 66 is connected to the clockwork 65 and is rotatably hinge-connected through a hinge 61 in close contact with the inclined rear surface of the fourth guide part 40. The string 90 is extended through the ring 80, the ring-shaped eyes 20-2 and 30-2, and the bobbin 66 and is wound around the clockwork 65. The ring-shaped eyes 20-2 and 30-2, the ring 80, the clockwork 65, the bobbin 66, and the string 90 interact with each other and apply elasticity in a direction in which the first, second, third, fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are contracted.
One end of the string 90 may be tied and coupled to the ring 80 and may include a hook to be hooked to the ring 80.
The first and second balls 91 and 92 are disposed with an interval on the string 90 and are sequentially caught by the first and second string guide holes 20-3 and 30-3 when the string 90 is unwound from the clockwork 65, and thus, when the accommodated hunting arrow is pulled back, the first and second balls 91 and 92 induce the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, 40 to be extended step by step. Only two balls, i.e., the first and second balls 91 and 92, are shown in the present exemplary embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto. More or fewer balls may be used according to the number of the number of used guide parts. Furthermore, other shapes may be used instead of the shapes of the first and second balls 91 and 92.
In addition, step-by-step extension inducing portions for the guide parts include a plurality of balls, i.e., the first and second balls 91 and 92. The second ball 92 is larger than the first ball 91. The first ball 91 passes through the second string guide hole 30-3 but does not pass through the first string guide hole 20-3. The second ball 92 may not pass through both of the first and second string guide holes 20-3 and 30-3. Therefore, when the accommodated hunting arrow is pulled back, the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are extended step by step.
The holder 70 includes a fixing portion 72 attached to the inclined rear surface of the fourth guide part 40 located at the lowermost side among the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, a rotary connecting portion 71 installed in the fixing portion 72, and a D-shaped holder portion 73 rotatably connected through the rotary connecting portion 71 and attachable to and detachable from a limb 101 of a bow 100. Since the D-shaped holder portion 73 is attached to the rear surface of the guide part 40 in a state of being inclined toward a bowstring 102, the arrow shaft 5 of the hunting arrow may be easily nocked on the bowstring 102, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The D-shaped holder portion 73 may be attached to the rear surface of the fourth guide part 40 so as to be parallel to the fourth guide part 40.
Here, since the D-shaped holder portion 73 is configured to be inclined toward the bowstring 102, when the arrow shaft 5 of the hunting arrow is nocked on the bowstring 102, the arrow shaft 5 and the bowstring 102 may be positioned substantially on the same vertical plane, thereby facilitating firing of the hunting arrow.
In addition, the D-shaped holder portion 73 includes flanges 73-1 formed at both ends adjacent to an opening 75 of the holder portion 73, holes H formed in the flanges 73-1, a thread formed in one of the holes H, a bolt 74 screw-coupled to the thread, and a knob 76 formed at one end of the bolt 74. In the present exemplary embodiment, it has been described that the bolt is screw-coupled to the thread, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The thread may not be formed in both of the two holes H, and the bolt 74 may be screw-coupled using a separate nut.
Hereinafter, the operation and state during the use and non-use of the extensible arrow guide for hunting will be described in detail.
When the extensible arrow guide for hunting according to the present invention is to be used, the knob 76 of the above-described the holder portion 73 is rotated so as to rotate and loosen the bolt 74 connected to the knob 76 and expand the opening of the holder portion 73, and the limb 101 of a conventional bow is inserted through the opening. Then, when the bolt 74 is coupled to the thread through the knob 76 again, the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention connected through the holder portion 73 may be hung on the limb 101 of the bow.
In this state, the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention is rotated so as to shoot an arrow.
Thereafter, the hunting arrow is inserted through the opening between the two inclined portions formed as two pieces spaced by an interval in the first guide part 10, i.e., the gap that is the opening 10-5 between the two pieces, i.e., the two inclined portions, and then, the hunting arrow is accommodated in the space formed between the two inclined portions and the arrow shaft mounting portion 50. Thus, the hunting arrow is loaded in the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention.
When the arrow shaft 5 of the loaded hunting arrow is nocked on the bowstring 102 of the bow and is pulled back, while the first and second balls 91 and 92 are caught by the first and second string guide holes 20-3 and 30-3 of the ring-shaped eyes 20-2 and 30-2, the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are extended step by step.
In this case, when the bowstring 102 is released, the hunting arrow is fired toward a target, and then, while the first, second, third, and fourth stoppers 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, and 40-1 of the extended first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 strike each other, the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are contracted step by step.
An operation of loading the hunting arrow on the above-described extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention, nocking the arrow shaft 5 of the loaded hunting arrow on the bowstring 102, and releasing the arrow shaft 5 may be repeated until the hunting arrow hits a hunting target.
Then, when a long arrow for a longbow is to be used in a bow mounted with the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention, the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention is rotated to dispose the long arrow for the longbow so as to be parallel to the extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention at a portion of the limb 101 grasped with a hand. Then, the portion of the limb 101 grasped with the hand and the rotated extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention are concurrently grasped with the hand, and the long arrow for the longbow is nocked on the bowstring 102 and fired.
In addition, when the hunting extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention is not used, the bolt 74 may be unscrewed from the thread through the knob 76 connected to the bolt 74 to expand the opening of the holder portion 73 and separate the holder portion 73 from the limb 101 of the bow 100 through the opening. Thus, the separated extensible arrow guide for hunting of the present invention may be separately stored.
Hereinafter, a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the present exemplary embodiment, to clarify characteristic parts, descriptions of the same components as those of the above-described exemplary embodiment and functions and operations according to the components will be omitted, and only the characteristic parts will be described.
The present exemplary embodiment is characterized in that an arrow guide may be formed on each of three surfaces, an arrow may be mounted in the arrow guide formed on each of the three surfaces, and the arrow guide may be selectively rotated to consecutively fire the arrows.
In addition, the present exemplary embodiment is characterized by a configuration in which the guide may be easily attached to and detached from a limb of a bow.
As shown in the drawings, the present exemplary embodiment is characterized in that a position determination portion 300 is formed in a limb of a bow and a coupling rod 210 and a position determination rod 220 are provided in a guide.
That is, in the above-described exemplary embodiment, the holder 70 is formed in the fourth guide part 40, and the limb of the bow and the guide are coupled to each other. However, in the present exemplary embodiment, the holder 70 is omitted, and the position determination portion 300 with a simple structure, the coupling rod 210, and the position determination rod 220 are adopted, thereby allowing a user to easily couple the limb and the guide and easily rotate the guide.
Detailed description thereof will be provided.
The position determination portion 300 is formed at a center of the limb of the bow and includes first and second position determination holes 310a and 310b and a coupling hole 320.
One end of the coupling rod 210 to be described below is insertion-coupled to the coupling hole 320 so as to be rotatable.
The first and second position determination holes 310a and 310b are formed to have an inclined angle with respect to a bowstring mounted in the bow to have a straight line structure. Since the first position determination hole 310a is formed near the bowstring and the second position determination hole 310b is formed relatively far away from the bowstring, an imaginary straight line connecting centers of the first and second position determination holes 310a and 310b has an inclined structure with a certain angle widened upward with respect to the bowstring. One end of the position determination rod 220 to be described below is selectively insertion-coupled to the first and second position determination holes 310a and 310b.
The coupling rod 210 has a long U shape, and the position determination rod 220 is fixed to an outer surface of the coupling rod 210. One end of the coupling rod 210 having the U shape is rotatably insertion-coupled to the coupling hole 320 formed in the limb. A guide hole 211 to be described below is formed in a portion bent in a U shape at a middle of the coupling rod 210. The other end of the coupling rod 210 is detachably insertion-coupled to a slide hole 230 to be described below (see
A specific operating relationship between the guide hole 211 and the slide hole 230 will be described below.
An operating relationship of such a configuration will be described.
When an arrow is mounted in the arrow guide, in a state in which the coupling rod 210 is inserted into the coupling hole 320 and the position determination rod 220 is inserted into the second position determination hole 310b, the arrow is mounted in the guide part. In the guide part coupled in such a manner, since the second position determination hole 310b is set to have a certain inclined angle widened upward with respect to the bowstring, the limb and the guide part may be spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the inclined angle, thereby preventing the mounted arrow and the guide part from coming into contact with the limb when the arrow is mounted.
When the arrow is fired, in a state in which the position determination rod 220 inserted into the second position determination hole 310b is pulled out, rotated about the coupling rod 210, and insertion-coupled to the first position determination hole 310a, the guide part may be positioned on a straight line with the bowstring, and thus, the arrow is in a state of being capable of being fired. Accordingly, the guide and the arrow may be simply mounted only by rotating the coupling rod 210 and the position determination rod 220, thereby providing a function and an effect capable of consecutively and conveniently mounting and firing the arrow.
As shown in the drawings, first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 of the present exemplary embodiment are coupled to three surfaces of a cylindrical pipe 250. The other end of a coupling rod 210 is insertion-coupled to a hollow slide hole 230 formed in a center of the pipe 250 so as to be slid and pulled out.
Of course, a plurality of guide parts, i.e., three or more guide parts, may be provided outside the cylindrical pipe 250.
A plurality of guide parts, i.e., the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40, have a structure that is contractible after being extended, similar to the above-described exemplary embodiment.
As shown in
Detailed description thereof will be provided.
A pulling rod 270 is fixed to an outer surface of the guide part. A cylindrical fourth pulling rod 274 is provided on an outer surface of the fourth guide part 40. Cylindrical first, second, and third pulling rods 271, 272, and 273 are fixed to first, second, and third stoppers 10-1, 20-1, and 30-1 formed on outer surfaces of the first, second, and third guide parts 10, 20, and 30.
The third pulling rod 273 is insertion-coupled to slide inside the fourth pulling rod 274, the second pulling rod 272 is coupled to slide inside the third pulling rod 273, and the first pulling rod 271 is coupled to slide inside the second pulling rod 272. In addition, a protrusion 275 is formed at one end of each of the first, second, and third pulling rods 271, 272, and 273 and is caught on a latch stepped portion 276 formed in a hollow portion of each of the second, third, and fourth pulling rods 272, 273, and 274, thereby preventing the insertion-coupled pulling rods from being completely ejected to the outside when the pulling rods are pulled out.
That is, each pulling rod has a structure such as a known antenna. Here, although it has been described that each pulling rod has a cylindrical shape, the pulling rod may have a rectangular or polygonal structure as long as the pulling rod may be pulled out.
As shown in
Detailed description thereof will be provided.
The elastic string 260 connected to the first guide part 10 and the cylindrical pipe 250 are coupled using a hook-shaped structure. Of course, the elastic string 260 may be coupled through a known method such as insertion-coupling method and a knotting method.
That is, the clockwork housing 60 and the bobbin 66 in the above-described exemplary embodiment are omitted in the present exemplary embodiment.
Describing an operating relationship of such a configuration, when a user grasps and pulls the first guide part 10 in order to shoot an arrow, the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are sequentially extended, and then, after the user shoots the arrow, the first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are sequentially contracted by an elastic restoring force of the elastic string 260. Accordingly, the guide parts are easily extended and contracted through a simple structure.
A configuration for rotating the guide is one of the most important features of the present exemplary embodiment and has a structure in which guide parts formed on three surfaces are selectively rotated by an angle of 120° at once.
Specifically, the configuration for selectively rotating the guide parts is divided into an operating unit 400, a rotating unit 500, and a fixing unit 600.
The operating unit is shown in the partially enlarged view of
The operating unit 400 is connected to an outer surface of one end of a U-shaped coupling rod 210. A spring 420 having an elastic restoring force is provided in a hollow portion of a cylindrical protective pipe 410. An L-shaped trigger 430 is movably coupled to pass through a hollow portion of the spring 420. A protrusion 440 is formed at an end of the trigger 430 positioned in the hollow portion of the protective pipe 410. Thus, the trigger 430 is elastically supported by the spring 420.
One side of the trigger 430 has an arc shape and has a function of allowing the user to easily pull the trigger 430 using his/her finger.
An operating string 450 is coupled to the protrusion 440. The operating string 450 leads to the outside of the protective pipe 410, passes through a guide hole 211 formed in a U-shaped bent portion at a middle of the coupling rod 210, and is coupled to a rotating piece 510 provided in the rotating unit 500 to be described below.
Accordingly, when the user pulls the trigger 430 using his/her finger, since the operating string 450 passes through the guide hole 211, a driving force with respect to the operating string 450 is changed in an orthogonal direction, and thus, the rotating piece 510 is pulled. As a result, the guide parts interlocking with the rotating piece 510 are rotated by an angle of 120°. When the user releases the trigger 430, the trigger 430 returns to an initial position thereof by the elastic restoring force of the spring 420.
The rotating unit for rotating the guide is shown in the perspective view of
The rotating unit 500 is fixed outside the U-shaped bent portion of the coupling rod 210 and includes a rotating piece 510 (see
The body 520 accommodates some components of the rotating unit 500 and is fixed to an outer surface of the coupling rod 210.
The rotating shaft 550 is rotatably coupled to pass through the body 520.
The driving gear 530 is fixed to one side of the rotating shaft 550 and is selectively engaged with a gear 621 fixed to an outer surface of a cylindrical pipe 250 and functions to rotate the cylindrical pipe 250 to thereby rotate slide parts connected to the cylindrical pipe 250.
The support bracket 540 is provided at one side of the body 520 and functions to support the rotating shaft 550 passing through the body 520 such that the rotating shaft 550 is rotatable. A coil spring 560 is provided between the rotating shaft 550 and the support bracket 540 to rotate the rotating shaft 550 by an angle of 120° though the rotating piece 510 to be described below and then functions to allow the rotating piece 510 to elastically return to an initial position thereof (see
The rotating piece 510 is fixed to the rotating shaft 550. The operating string 450 is coupled to an end of the rotating piece 510, and thus, when the operating string 450 interlocking with the trigger 430 is pulled, the rotating piece 510 is rotated to function to rotate the rotating shaft 550 interlocking with the rotating piece 510 by an angle of 120° (see
An operating relationship of such a configuration will be described.
When the user pulls the trigger 430 using his/her finger, the operating string 450 connected to the trigger 430 rotates the rotating piece 510. When the rotating piece 510 is rotated, the rotating shaft 550 interlocking with the rotating piece is also rotated.
In addition, when the rotating shaft 550 is rotated, the driving gear 530 fixed to the rotating shaft 550 is rotated to rotate the engaged gear 621. The gear 621 rotates the cylindrical pipe 250. As a result, the slide parts fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical pipe 250 are rotated.
That is, whenever the user operates the trigger 430, the slide parts are rotated by an angle of 120°, and thus, arrows mounted in the slide parts are in a state of being capable of being fired, thereby operating the trigger 430 to provide a function an effect capable of consecutively firing the arrows.
As shown in the drawing, the rotating unit includes the rotating piece 510, the body 520, the support bracket 540, and the coil spring 560.
A disc-shaped plate 512 having a through-hole is formed at one side of the rotating piece 510. The rotating shaft 550 is rotatably insertion-coupled to the through-hole of the plate 512. A support surface 511 protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the plate 512 and comes into surface contact with a cut surface of a ratchet gear 525 formed in the driving unit to be described below.
The body 520 has a box-shaped structure, and left and right covers 521a and 521b are coupled to side surfaces of the body 520. Grooves are formed in inner surfaces of the left and right covers 521a and 521b, and a buffer spring 522 and a ball 523 are inserted into the grooves. A guide gear 524 is provided at a center of the body 520 and is in elastic contact with the ball 523.
Of course, the rotating shaft 550 passes through a center of the guide gear 524.
The rotating shaft 550 also passes through upper and lower surfaces of the body 520. A rotating plate 526 is spaced a certain distance from a circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 550 on the upper surface of the body 520. The ratchet gear 525 protrudes from an upper surface of the rotating plate 526 and interlocks with the support piece 511 formed in the rotating piece 510.
The ratchet gear 515 has an inclined surface and a cut surface similar to a known configuration.
The rotating piece 510 is fixed to the rotating shaft 550.
The support bracket 540 rotatably supports the rotating shaft 550, and a protrusion piece 541 is formed on one side surface thereof to support one end of the coil spring 560 to be described below.
One end of the coil spring 560 is supported by one side of the support surface 511 of the rotating piece 510, and the other end thereof is supported by the protrusion piece 541 of the support bracket 540, thereby applying an elastic restoring force in a direction opposite to a direction in which the rotating piece 510 is rotated.
An operating relationship of such a configuration will be described.
When the user operates the trigger 430 using his/her finger, while the rotating piece 510 is rotated while interlocking with the trigger 430 to be connected to the trigger 430, one side surface of the support piece 511 protruding to an outer surface of the rotating piece 510 pushes the cut surface of the ratchet gear 525 to rotate the rotating plate 526. When the rotating plate 526 is rotated, the rotating shaft 550 fixed to the rotating plate 526 is also rotated. In this case, a rotation angle is set to 120°, and whenever the trigger 430 is operated once, the guide part interlocking with the rotating shaft 550 is rotated by one third of a complete rotation on the outer surface of the cylindrical pipe.
When the user releases the trigger, the rotating plate 526 returns to an initial position thereof by the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 560. A bottom surface of the support piece 511 provided on the rotating plate 511 is moved upward along the inclined surface of the ratchet gear 525 and then is moved downward from the cut surface to be positioned between gear teeth of the ratchet gears 525. Next, the rotating plate 526 is in a state of being capable of being operated.
That is, whenever the rotating piece 510 is operated once by the trigger, the support piece 511 of the rotating piece 510 pushes the cut surface of the ratchet gear 525 to rotate the rotating plate 526, is moved along the inclined surface of the ratchet gear 526 by the elastic restoring force, and is moved downward from the cut surface to return to the initial position thereof. Thus, the cut surface of the ratchet gear 525 and the protruding support surface 511 of the rotating plate 526 may come into surface contact with each other so that the next rotation may be performed.
The buffer spring 522 and the ball 523 are in surface contact with an outer surface of the guide gear 524 formed at the center of the body 520 and have a function of supporting and guiding the guide gear 524.
The coupled state of the fixing unit is shown in the perspective view of
A fixing unit 600 includes a fixing portion 610 and a coupling portion 620. The fixing portion 610 is fixed to an outer surface of the rotating unit 500, and the rotating unit 500 is fixed to the coupling rod 210. The coupling portion 620 is fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical pipe 250.
Detailed description thereof will be provided.
The fixing portion 610 has a structure in which a guide piece 612 is formed to protrude between two protruding brackets 611. A screw is formed at one end of a hinge shaft passing through the brackets and the guide piece 612, and a knob 614 is screw-coupled to the screw formed in the hinge shaft.
Since a rotating bracket 615 is inserted between the brackets 611 and the guide piece 612 and is rotatably coupled to the hinge shaft, the rotating bracket 615 may be rotated about the hinge shaft.
An arc-shaped grip 616 having one open side is coupled to one side of the rotating bracket 615. Since the grip 616 has an elastic restoring force, the grip 616 may be opened by an external force and may return to an original shape thereof by the elastic restoring force.
The coupling portion 620 is fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical pipe 250. A gear 621 is formed at one side of the coupling portion 620, and a stopper 622 is formed at the other side thereof. A coupling surface 623 is formed between the gear 621 and the stopper 622.
An operating relationship of the fixing unit 600 will be described.
When the coupling rod 210 is released for disassembly, repair, or the like, the knob 614 formed at one side of the hinge shaft is rotated in a direction in which a screw is loosened, the brackets 611 and the rotating bracket 615 are released from a tightening force by the rotation of the knob 614 and are in a free state so that the rotating bracket 615 may be in a state of being capable of being rotated about the hinge shaft.
In this state, when an external force is applied to the grip 616, the grip 616 is elastically deformed and opened and thus deviates from the cylindrical pipe 250. Accordingly, since the coupling rod 210 freely enters and exits the slide hole 230, the coupling rod 210 may be separated from the slide hole 230.
When the arrow is fired, the fixing unit 600 is fixed by performing a releasing procedure of the fixing unit 600 in reverse order. Since the grip 616 is fixed to the coupling surface 623 formed between the gear 621 and the stopper 622 and is restricted in right and left movement due to the gear 621 and the stopper 622, the coupling rod 210 connected to the grip 616 may be fixed in a state of being insertion-coupled to the slide hole 230, thereby firing the arrow.
Hereinafter, a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The present exemplary embodiment is characterized in that a cylindrical pipe is further provided with an elastic support piece.
As shown in the drawing, one end of an elastic support piece 700 is fixed to the cylindrical pipe 250, and the other end thereof has a structure of a bent portion 710 bent in a “U” shape. The elastic support piece 700 is made of an elastic material.
An operating relationship of such a configuration will be described.
When a user grasps and pull a first guide part 10 with a hand in order to fire an arrow, the first guide part 10 is pulled out, and the bent portion 710 formed at the end of the elastic support piece 700 comes into close contact with an outer surface of the first guide part 10 due to an elastic force and is caught on a first stopper 101-1.
In this case, when a pulling force of the user is stronger than an elastic force of the bent portion 710, since the bent portion 710 goes over the first stopper 10-1 and comes into close contact with an outer surface of a second guide part 20 by an elastic force, only the first guide part 10 is pulled out, thereby preventing the first and second guides from being pulled out at once by the pulling force of the user. Furthermore, the remaining guide parts are sequentially pulled out by the same operation as described above.
That is, due to the elastic support piece 700, first, second, third, and fourth guide parts 10, 20, 30, and 40 are not pulled out at once and are sequentially pulled out.
Of course, the elastic support piece may be formed in each of the guide parts.
The above-described extensible arrow guide may be attached to and detached from a limb of a bow and rotated and thus may be easily stored and used. The extensible arrow guide may allow a triangular arrowhead and a triangular arrow feather to be easily loaded and guided. In addition, the extensible arrow guide may allow an arrow shaft of a hunting arrow and a bowstring to be positioned substantially on the same vertical plane, thereby allowing the hunting arrow to be easily fired.
Furthermore, arrow guides may be selectively rotated to consecutively fire arrows.
