The subject patent application claims priority to and all the benefits of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/335,239 filed on Apr. 27, 2022, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Compound bows include a riser and a pair of limbs extending from opposing ends of the riser. At least one cable extends between the limbs and a bow string extends between the limbs. For example, two cables extend between the limbs in the example shown in the figures. The compound bow includes pulleys, e.g., cammed pulleys, that are rotatably connected to the limbs. The bow string is connected to the pulleys and each cable is connected to at least one of the pulleys. By drawing the string from a brace position to a drawn position, the bow string rotates the pulleys to draw in the cables and resiliently flexing the limbs toward each other to propel an arrow nocked on the bow string.

Some compound bows include quivers supported on the riser. The quiver stores the arrows for later nocking and shooting. Specifically, one of the arrows may be released from the quiver and nocked on the bow string. Before use of the arrow, the quiver maintains the arrows with the compound bow so that the arrows can be carried with the compound bow as a unit. The quiver is positioned on the side of the riser opposite the nocked arrow. The weight of the quiver can unbalance the weight distribution of the compound bow, thus making a steady hold in the drawn position more difficult. The addition of the quiver to the riser also increases the lateral size of the compound bow, making it more difficult to transport the compound bow and to position and store the compound bow during use of the compound bow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

With reference to the figures, wherein like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, a compound bow 10 includes a riser 12 having a left face 14, a right face 16, and a rear face 18 between the left face 14 and the right face 16. A mounting bore 22 extends through the rear face 18. The mounting bore 22 is spaced from the left face 14 and the right face 16. A quiver 24 has a rod 26 that is releasably engaged to the riser 12 in the mounting bore 22. The quiver 24 has a base 28 and a hood 30 supported by the base 28. The base 28 is supported on the riser 12 by the rod 26

The quiver 24 is mounted to the riser 12 to support arrows on the compound bow 10 for later nocking and shooting. Each arrow extends from the base 28 to the hood 30 and at least one of the base 28 and the hood 30 retains the arrow to the quiver 24. Mounting the quiver 24 to the rear face 18 of the riser 12 allows the quiver 24 to be brought inboard toward the center of gravity of the rest of the compound bow 10. This configuration also reduces the lateral size of the compound bow 10 making the compound bow 10 more compact for easier carry, transport, etc.

With reference to FIGS. 1-3, the compound bow 10 includes the riser 12 and a pair of limbs 32, namely a top limb and a bottom limb, extending from opposing ends of the riser 12. At least one cable 34 extends between the limbs 32 and a bow string 36 extends between the limbs 32. For example, two cables 34, namely a first cable and a second cable, extend between the limbs 32 in the example shown in the figures.

Pulleys 38 are rotatably connected to the limbs 32, namely a top pulley is rotatably connected to the top limb 32 and a bottom pulley is rotatably connected to the bottom limb 32. As one example, each cable 34 may be directly connected to one pulley 38 and one limb 32 or, as another example, each cable 34 may be directly connected to each pulley 38. Specifically, as one example, the first cable extends from the top pulley to the bottom limb and the second cable extends from the bottom pulley to the top limb. As another example, the first cable extends from the top pulley to the bottom pulley and the second cable extends from the bottom pulley to the top pulley. At least one of the pulleys 38 may be cammed, i.e. may be a cam. Specifically, when cammed, the pulley 38 has at least one track engaged at least one of the cables 34 and/or the bow string 36 and at least one of the tracks is eccentric relative to the rotational axis of the pulley 38. The pulley 38, e.g., the cam, may include those that are currently known. The pulleys 38, and associated cables 34 can be of any type without departing from the nature of the present invention. For example, the pulleys 38 can be a single cam, hybrid cam, dual cam, binary cam, cam and a half, etc.

The bow string 36 extends between the limbs 32. Specifically, the bow string 36 is directly connected to and extends between the pulleys 38. By drawing the bow string 36 from a brace position to a drawn position, the bow string 36 rotates the pulleys 38 to draw in the cables 34 and resiliently flexing the limbs 32 toward each other.

With reference to FIG. 1, the riser 12 is elongated along a longitudinal axis A. In operation, the longitudinal axis A is generally vertical. “Bow-rearward” is a direction from the riser 12 toward the torso and head of the operator of the compound bow 10. “Bow-forward” is a direction from the riser 12 away from the torso and head of the operator, i.e., the direction opposite the bow-rearward direction. The compound bow 10 has a fore-and-aft axis B that extends bow-rearward and bow-forward through the front face 20 and the rear face 18 of the riser 12. The fore-and-aft axis B is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. “Lateral” is a direction perpendicular to the bow-rearward and bow-forward direction along an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. The compound bow 10 has a lateral axis C that extends laterally through the left face 14 and the right face 16. The lateral axis C is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and the fore-and-aft axis B.

With reference to FIGS. 1-5, the riser 12 may include portions that curve, vary in thickness, etc., for strength, balance, weight distribution, and/or other performance considerations. The riser 12 may include cutouts that may, for example, provide weight savings. The riser 12 may be unitary. In other words, the riser 12 may be a single, uniform piece of material with no seams, joints, fasteners, or adhesives holding the components of the riser 12 together, i.e., the components of the riser 12 are formed together simultaneously as a single continuous unit, e.g., by machining from a unitary blank, molding, forging, casting, etc. As another example, the riser 12 may be non-unitary, i.e., formed separately and subsequently assembled, e.g., by lamination, adhesive, bonding, threaded engagement, etc. Components, including components that are known in the art, may be connected to the riser 12 to tune, control performance, and/or provide functionality including, for example, bushings (including stabilizer bushings, sight bushings, etc.), a grip, limb pockets, limb bolts, etc. The material type of the riser 12 may be, for example, a composite (e.g., carbon, fiberglass), a metal (e.g., aluminum), a polymer, combinations thereof, or any suitable type of material.

As in the example shown in the figures, the riser 12, specifically at least a portion 40 of the riser 12, may have a generally rectangular cross section, i.e., in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. In such an example, the rectangular cross section may include rounded corners, as shown in the example in the figures. In other examples, the riser 12, specifically the portion 40 of the riser 12, may have any suitable cross-sectional shape, e.g., rounded, curved, three sides, more than four-sides, etc.

The riser 12, specifically at least the portion 40 of the riser 12, has the left face 14 and the right face 16. The adjectives “left” and “right” are from the perspective of the operator holding the compound bow 10 in the drawn position. The left face 14 is the part of the riser 12 visible when the riser is viewed from the left of the compound bow 10, i.e., viewed along the lateral axis C. The right face 16 is the part of the riser 12 visible when the riser is viewed from the right of the compound bow 10, i.e., viewed along the lateral axis C. As in the example shown in the figures, the left face 14 and/or the right face 16 may be generally planar. In other examples, the left face 14 and/or the right face 16 may be curved or round and/or may include one or more generally planar walls.

The riser 12, specifically at least the portion 40 of the riser 12, includes the rear face 18 between the left face 14 and the right face 16. The rear face 18 of the riser 12 faces the bow string 36. The rear face 18 of the riser 12 faces the torso and head of the operator of the compound bow 10 when the compound bow 10 is in the drawn position. In other words, the rear face 18 faces in the bow-rearward direction. As in the example shown in the figures, the rear face 18 may be generally planar. In other examples, the rear face 18 may be curved or round and/or may include one or more generally planar walls. As in the example shown in the figures, the riser 12 includes a corner between the rear face 18 and left face 14 and a corner between the rear face 18 and the right face 16.

The riser 12, specifically at least the portion 40 of the riser 12, has a front face 20 between the left face 14 and the right face 16. The front face 20 of the riser 12 faces away from the operator of the compound bow 10 when the compound bow 10 is in the drawn position. In other words, the rear face 18 faces in the bow-forward direction. As in the example shown in the figures, the front face 20 may be generally planar. In other examples, the front face 20 may be curved or round. Specifically, as set forth above, in some examples the left face 14, the right face 16, the rear face 18, and/or the front face 20 may be curved or round and/or may include one or more generally planar walls. As in the example shown in the figures, the riser 12 includes rounded a corner between the front face 20 and left face 14 and a rounded corner between the rear face 18 and the right face 16.

The riser 12 includes a handle 42. The handle 42 is gripped by the operator of the compound bow 10 to carry the compound bow 10 and to draw the compound bow 10 from the brace position to the drawn position. The riser 12 may be unitary with the rest of the riser 12, as described above. The compound bow 10 may include inserts, grips, etc. (not shown), connected to the handle 42 to optimize grip, geometry, etc. The handle 42 is elongated generally along the longitudinal axis A of the riser 12. The handle 42 may be below the mounting bore 22, as in the example shown in the figures.

The riser 12 may include an arrow shelf 44, as shown in the example in the figures. The arrow shelf 44 supports an arrow when an arrow is initially nocked to the bow string 36, i.e., the weight of the arrow is at least partly borne by the arrow shelf 44. The arrow may abut the arrow shelf 44 when initially nocked to the bow string 36. The arrow shelf 44 may support the arrow when the compound bow 10 is in the drawn position. The arrow shelf 44 is above the handle 42. The arrow shelf 44 may be below the mounting bore 22.

The riser 12 may include an overhang 46 above the arrow shelf 44. The portion 40 of the riser 12 extends at least from the arrow shelf 44 to the overhang 46. The arrow shelf 44 and the overhang 46 extend in a common direction from the portion 40. In the example shown in the figures, the arrow shelf 44 and the overhang 46 are on the left face 14 of the riser, i.e., for a right-handed compound bow. In other examples, the arrow shelf 44 and the overhang 46 are on the right side 16 of the riser, i.e., for a left-handed compound bow. The overhang 46, the arrow shelf 44, and the portion 40 extending from the arrow shelf 44 to the overhang 46 define a window 48 of the riser 12. The mounting bore 22 extends through the portion 40 along the window 48 above the arrow shelf 44 and below the overhang 46.

With reference to FIGS. 1-3, the riser 12 may support components of the compound bow 10 in addition to the quiver 24. For example, the riser 12 may support a cable guard 50, a string suppressor 52, a sight 54, etc. The cable guard 50 is spaced from the mounting bore 22 on the riser 12. The cable guard 50, for example, may be mounted to the left face 14, the right face 16, or the rear face 18 of the riser 12. The sight 54 is spaced from the mounting bore 22 on the riser 12. The sight 54, for example, may be mounted to the left face 14, the right face 16, and/or the rear face 18 of the riser 12.

As set forth above, the mounting bore 22 receives the rod 26 of the quiver 24 to mount the quiver 24 to the riser 12. When the rod 26 is in the mounting bore 22, the quiver 24 is supported by the riser 12 in the mounting bore 22. In other words, the weight of the quiver 24 is borne by riser 12 at the mounting bore 22. With reference to FIGS. 3-5, the rod 26 may be retained in the mounting bore 22 with, for example, a set screw 56. Specifically, the riser 12 may define a threaded hole 58 extending laterally from one of the left face 14 and the right face 16 into the mounting bore 22. When the rod 26 is in the mounting bore 22, the set screw 56 may be screwed into the mounting bore 22 through the threaded hole 58 to engage the rod 26 and retain the rod 26 in the mounting bore 22 by friction with the rod 26 and/or plastic deformation of the rod 26.

With reference to FIGS. 1-3, as set forth above, the mounting bore 22 extends through the rear face 18. When the quiver 24 is engaged with the riser 12, the rod 26 extends from the mounting bore 22 through the rear face 18 in the bow-rearward direction. The mounting bore 22 is exposed at the rear face 18 to receive the rod 26 through the rear face 18. The rod 26 may be inserted into the mounting bore 22 through the rear face 18.

The mounting bore 22 is spaced from the left face 14 and the right face 16. Accordingly, when the quiver 24 is mounted to the riser 12, the rod 26 extends bow-rearward from the mounting bore 22 at the rear face 18 spaced from both the left face 14 and the right face 16. In some examples, the mounting bore 22 may be generally centered on the rear face 18 between the left face 14 and the right face 16, as shown in the example in FIG. 4. As set forth above, the bore being spaced from the left face 14 and the right face 16 may be used to position the quiver 24 near or on the center of gravity of the rest of the compound bow 10 and/or may reduces the lateral size of the compound bow 10 making the compound bow 10 more compact for easier carry, transport, etc.

The mounting bore 22 may extend through the front face 20 of the riser 12. In such an example, the mounting bore 22 extends through both the rear face 18 and the front face 20 of the riser 12. In such an example, the mounting bore 22 extends continuously from the rear face 18 to the front face 20, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

The mounting bore 22 may be elongated along an axis M in the bow-forward and bow-rearward directions. In other words, the longest dimension of the mounting bore 22 may extend in the bow-forward and bow-rearward directions. The axis M of the mounting bore 22 may be elongated along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis A of the riser 12, i.e., the axis of the mounting bore 22 extends along a direction that crosses the longitudinal axis A. As an example, the axis M of the mounting bore 22 may be elongated along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the riser 12, i.e., the axis M of the mounting bore 22 extends along a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, as shown in FIG. 2.

As set forth above, the quiver 24 supports arrows on the compound bow 10, i.e., the weight of the arrows is at least in part borne by the quiver 24. The quiver 24 stores the arrows for later nocking and shooting. Specifically, one of the arrows may be released from the quiver 24, as described below, and nocked on the bow string 36. Before use of the arrow, the quiver 24 maintains the arrows with the compound bow 10 so that the arrows can be carried with the compound bow 10 as a unit.

The quiver 24 is supported by riser 12 at mounting bore 22. i.e., the weight of the quiver 24 is borne by the riser 12 at the mounting bore 22.

The rod 26 is releasably engageable with the riser 12 in the mounting bore 22. In FIG. 1, the rod 26 is releasably engaged to the riser 12 in the mounting bore 22. As set forth above, the rod 26 may be inserted into the mounting bore 22 through the rear face 18. Specifically, the rod 26 may be slid into the mounting bore 22. When positioned in the mounting bore 22, the rod 26 is engaged to retain the rod 26 in the mounting until released. As an example, as set forth above, the compound bow 10 may include the set screw 56 that may be screwed into the mounting bore 22 to engage the rod 26 and retain the rod 26 in the mounting bore 22 by friction with the rod 26 and/or plastic deformation of the rod 26. The rod 26 may be inserted into the mounting bore 22 to an inserted position in which the quiver 24 is at a desired position relative to the riser 12. As an example, the rod 26 may extend to the front face 20 of the riser 12 in the inserted position. In other examples, the rod 26 may include a stop that stops the rod 26 at the inserted position, a visual indicator on the rod 26 that indicates that the rod 26 is at the inserted position, etc.

The mounting bore 22 is designed to receive the rod 26 of the quiver 24 and the rod 26 of the quiver 24 is designed to be received by the mounting bore 22. For example, the mounting bore 22 and the rod 26 are sized and shaped so that the mounting bore 22 receives the rod 26. Specifically, the mounting bore 22 and rod 26 may have matching profiles. In other words, the mounting bore 22 and the rod 26 have the same peripheral shape and the rod 26 is slightly smaller than the mounting bore 22 to slide into the mounting bore 22 with clearance fit or a transition fit (also referred to as a slip fit). In the example shown in the figures, the peripheral shape of the mounting bore 22 and the rod 26 is a dovetail shape. The cross-section of the rod 26 the mounting bore 22 in such an example has the shape of a trapezoid, and more specifically generally an isosceles trapezoid, as shown in the figures. In other examples, the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 can have matching profiles having other shapes. In other examples, the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 can have different profiles sized so that the rod 26 is receivable by the mounting bore 22. As set forth above, the mounting bore 22 may be elongated along an axis M. Similarly, the rod 26 may be elongated along an axis R. The axis R of the rod 26 may be on the axis M of the mounting bore 22 when the rod 26 is in the inserted position.

In examples in which the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 have matching profiles and in examples in which the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 do not have matching profiles, the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 may be sized and shaped so that the rod 26 is rotationally fixed relative to the riser 12 about the axis of the rod 26 when the rod 26 is in the mounting bore 22, e.g., when the rod 26 is in the inserted position. Specifically, in such examples, the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 are sized and shaped so that the rod 26 may be translationally slid into the mounting bore 22 and peripheral interference between the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 prevents rotation of the rod 26 relative to the mounting bore 22. As an example, in the example shown in the figures, the dovetail-shaped matching profiles of the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 allows the rod 26 to be translationally slid into the mounting bore 22 and peripheral interference between the rod 26 and the mounting bore 22 prevents rotation of the rod 26 relative to the mounting bore 22.

With reference to FIG. 6, as set forth above, the quiver 24 includes the rod 26 and the base 28. The base 28 may include, for example, a support panel 60 and/or a spine 62. The example quiver 24 shown in the figures includes the support panel 60 and two spines 62 and the rod 26 extends from the support panel 60. In other example, the rod 26 may extend from the spine 62 and, in such examples, the quiver 24 may not include a support panel 60.

The rod 26 extends from the base 28 along the axis R of the rod 26. When inserted into the mounting bore 22, the rod 26 extends bow-forward from the base 28 to the mounting bore 22, e.g., the support, and into the mounting bore 22. The rod 26 is cantilevered from the base 28 prior to insertion of the rod 26 into the mounting bore 22. In other words, prior to insertion of the rod 26 into the mounting bore 22, the rod 26 includes a free end spaced from the base 28. In the example shown in the figures, the rod 26 extends from the support panel 60 of the base 28 along the axis of the rod 26. In such examples, the rod 26 and the support panel 60 may be unitary or may be formed separately and subsequently assembled, e.g., with fasteners, adhesive, etc. The rod 26 and the support panel 60 may be the same material type of different material types. For example, the rod 26 and/or the support plate may be metal (e.g., aluminum), polymer, a composite (e.g., carbon, fiberglass), or combinations thereof.

The spine 62 may be elongated along a direction transverse to the axis of the rod 26. The spine 62 is elongated along the longitudinal axis A of the riser 12 when the quiver 24 is engaged with the riser 12. The spine 62 may be vertical or generally vertical when the quiver 24 is engaged with the riser 12. In the example shown in the figures, the quiver 24 includes two spines 62. In other examples, the quiver 24 may include any suitable number of spines 62, i.e., one or more. The spine 62 supports the hood 30 and/or a rack 64 on the rod 26. Specifically, when the rod 26 is engaged with the riser 12, the spine 62 supports the hood 30 and/or the rack 64 on the riser 12. In the example shown in the figures, the spine 62 supports the hood 30 and the rack 64 on the riser 12. The spine 62 has sufficient rigidity to support the hood 30, the rack 64, and the arrows with minimal deflection. The spine 62 may be, for example, metal (e.g., aluminum), polymer, a composite (e.g., carbon, fiberglass), or combinations thereof.

As set forth above, in some examples the quiver 24 includes the hood 30 and/or the rack 64. In some examples the quiver 24 may include only one of the hood 30 or the rack 64. The hood 30 and the rack 64, alone or in combination, support arrows on the quiver 24. Specifically, the hood 30 and the rack 64s in the example shown in the figures are configured to store multiple arrows, i.e., are sized, shaped, and positioned to store multiple arrows. In the example shown in the figures, the hood 30 and the rack 64s are configured to store up to five arrows. In the example shown in the figures, the arrows are spaced along the fore-and-aft axis B. The hood 30 may be above the rack 64. Specifically, the hood 30 may be above the rod 26. The rack 64 may be below the rack 64.

In examples including the rack 64, the quiver 24 may include more than one rack 64. In the example shown in the figures, the quiver 24 includes two racks 64. In other examples including the rack 64, the quiver 24 may include any suitable number of racks 64, i.e., one or more. The rack 64 includes retention features 66 that releasably retain arrows. The retention features 66, as an example and as shown in the example in the figures, may be fingers that are resiliently flexible relative to the arrows so that the arrows may be engaged and disengaged by resiliently displacing the fingers. In such an example, the fingers may be plastic. In other examples, the retention features 66 may be of any suitable type. The retention features 66 may include foam or other vibration-absorbing material to assist in arrow retention and to resist rattling of the arrows. In examples that do not include the rack 64, the quiver 24 includes retention features 66 and the retention features 66 may be in the hood 30, on the spine 62, on the support plate, etc. The rack 64 and the spine 62 may be unitary or may be formed separately and subsequently assembled, e.g., with fasteners, adhesive, etc. The rack 64 may be, for example, metal (e.g., aluminum), polymer, a composite (e.g., carbon, fiberglass), or combinations thereof.

In examples including the hood 30, the hood 30 covers the arrows. Specifically, the hood 30 includes a pocket that receives sharp points of the arrows such as broadheads, target tips, etc. The hood 30 may be rigid to prevent damage to the sharp points of the arrow, to keep the sharp points protected from environmental elements, etc. The hood 30 and the spine 62 may be unitary or may be formed separately and subsequently assembled, e.g., with fasteners, adhesive, etc. The hood 30 may be, for example, metal (e.g., aluminum), polymer, a composite (e.g., carbon, fiberglass), or combinations thereof. As set forth above, in some examples the quiver 24 may not include a hood 30.

With reference to FIGS. 1-3, when engaged with the riser 12, the quiver 24 is between the riser 12 and the bow string 36. Specifically, the quiver 24 is positioned along the fore-and-aft axis B of the riser 12 between the rear face 18 of the riser 12 and the bow string 36, i.e., at least a portion of the quiver 24 extends between the rear face 18 and the bow string 36. At least a portion of the rod 26 is between the rear face 18 and the bow string 36. In the example, shown in the figures, a portion of the rod 26, the support plate, and the spines 62 are between the rear face 18 and the bow string 36. In the example shown in the figures, a portion of the hood 30 and the rack 64s extend bow-forward of the rear face 18 of the riser 12. In the example shown in the figures, as an example, the entire quiver 24 is bow-forward of the bow string 36. The location of the quiver 24 between the rear face 18 of the riser 12 and the bow string 36 allows the quiver 24 to be brought inboard toward the center of gravity of the rest of the compound bow 10 and also reduces the lateral size of the compound bow 10 making the compound bow 10 more compact for easier carry, transport, etc.

The disclosure has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Many modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible in light of the above teachings, and the disclosure may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
