Abstract
An apparatus according to the present invention includes an accessory mount to be mounted to an archery bow or a combination of an archery bow and an accessory, such as a rangefinder that is advertised and sold as a handheld rangefinder, mounted thereto, perhaps on the draw side of the bow. A portion of the accessory may be mounted within a mounting envelope space, which may result in positioning a portion of the accessory above and behind a pivot point defined by a grip disposed on a riser body of the archery bow. Additionally or alternatively, the mounting envelope may be defined with reference to a lowermost operative portion of the bow. Additionally, an accessory having a portion positioned in a desired mounting envelope may be controlled by a remote activation device, such as a trigger switch, the switch being engageable by a finger of an archer.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to the field of archery, and more particularly to the positioning and support of an accessory in relation to an archery bow structure.
- Generally, an archery bow comprises a riser body and a pair of limbs extending from opposite ends of the riser body. Strung between the limbs is a bowstring. An archery bow may be provided as a compound bow or a long bow; a compound bow having cams provided on the limbs around which the bowstring is threaded and a long bow not having such cams. Regardless of whether a bow is compound or long, a grip is provided on the riser body to be grasped by one hand of a user while the bowstring is drawn with the other hand. The grip defines a pivot point that is usually engaged by the user's thumb and forefinger.
- Many accessories have been developed for use with and integration onto archery bows, such as sights, quivers, stabilizers and silencers. However, other accessories that may be of value to a user of an archery bow may not have been designed to be integrated onto or supported by the bow. For instance, a handheld rangefinder, camera, digital music player, microphone, or other accessory, may be desirable to be used in conjunction with an archery bow, but is likely not to have been designed with such a specific use in mind. For convenience, since the operation or firing of an archery bow requires two hands, it may be desirable to mount such an accessory in a convenient location relative to various components of the archery bow.
- While devices and methods have been developed for supporting accessories on an archery bow, such developments may not have appreciated relative positioning of accessories in relation to the archery bow. Therefore, the art of supporting accessories on or near an archery bow would benefit from an improved apparatus for positioning an accessory in relation to the structure of an archery bow.
- An apparatus according to the present invention provides an improved apparatus for positioning an accessory in relation to the structure of an archery bow.
- An apparatus according to the present invention includes an archery bow that has a riser body having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a grip portion, the grip portion defining a pivot point. An upper limb is coupled to and extending from the riser upper portion, and a lower limb is coupled to and extending from the riser lower portion. A bowstring extends between the upper limb and the lower limb. An accessory is coupled to the archery bow, wherein at least a first portion of the accessory is positioned within a predetermined mounting envelope space above and behind the pivot point.
- According to one aspect, the mounting envelope space may include a substantially rectangular envelope extending from about three inches behind the pivot point to about thirteen inches behind the pivot point, and extending from about five inches above the pivot point to about thirteen inches above the pivot point. The mounting envelope may be on a draw side of the archery bow.
- According to another aspect, the mounting envelope space may include a substantially rectangular envelope extending from about three inches behind the pivot point to about thirteen inches behind the pivot point and extending from about twenty-three inches above a lowest operative point of the archery bow to about thirty-one inches above the lowest operative point.
- According to still another aspect, at least a first portion of the mounting envelope may be located behind the bowstring. The first portion of the accessory may be positioned within the first portion of the mounting envelope. Additionally, the entirety of the accessory may be positioned within the first portion of the mounting envelope.
- According to yet another aspect, the portion of accessory includes an eyepiece. The accessory may be a rangefinder.
- According to a further aspect, the entirety of the accessory is positioned within the mounting envelope.
- According to a still further aspect, the apparatus may further include a bracket coupled between said archery bow and said accessory. The bracket may include a coupling flange mounted to the riser portion of the archery bow, a support extension coupled to the coupling flange and extending rearwardly, and an accessory brace coupled to the support extension, the accessory brace supporting the accessory.

- Turning now to the figures,
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 provide anembodiment 100 of a bracket according to the present invention for positioning and supporting anaccessory 400 in relation to an archery bow structure. Thebracket 100 generally comprises acoupling flange 110, asupport extension 130, and anaccessory brace 150. Thecoupling flange 110 preferably includes ariser plate 112 and at least one but preferably two stabilizingwings 114. Theriser plate 112 is a generally planar plate having ariser surface 112 a opposed from anouter surface 112 b. The stabilizingwings 114 are coupled to theriser plate 112 in a non-coplanar, or skew, manner, thereby forming a bend towards theriser surface 112 a. Formed through theriser plate 112, through and preferably at least substantially orthogonal to theriser surface 112 a and theouter surface 112 b, is a pair of mountingholes 116. Each of the mountingholes 116 is preferably at least substantially laterally centered on theriser plate 112, as shown, or placed in another desirable configuration for mounting to an archery bow. - The
coupling flange 110 is preferably formed from a single piece of material, such as steel or aluminum, which has been cast or machined. Alternatively, the stabilizingwings 114 may be coupled to theriser plate 112, by welding, for example, or other desirable coupling methods. - The
support extension 130 of thebracket 100 generally comprises a plurality ofstruts 131, which are preferably substantially longitudinal. Afirst riser strut 132 is coupled at afirst end 132 a to thecoupling flange 110 and at asecond end 132 b to a firstlateral strut 134. Thecoupling flange 110 may even be formed from the same material as thefirst riser strut 132, such as being pressed therefrom, thus providing thecoupling flange 110 and thefirst riser strut 132 as a unitary member. Asecond riser strut 136 is coupled at afirst end 136 a to the firstlateral strut 134 and at asecond end 136 b to a secondlateral strut 138. The firstlateral strut 134 is coupled at afirst end 134 a to thefirst riser strut 132 and to thesecond riser strut 136 and at asecond end 134 b to theaccessory brace 150. The secondlateral strut 138 is coupled at afirst end 138 a to thesecond riser strut 136 and at asecond end 138 b to theaccessory brace 150. Other configurations of thestruts 131 will be obvious to one having skill in the art upon reviewing the disclosedembodiment 130. - Each of the provided struts 131 has a
width 140, athickness 142, and a length (not labeled) which is perpendicular to the geometric plane containing thewidth 140 andthickness 142. While thewidth 140 andthickness 142 of eachstrut 131 may vary, from theother struts 131 or even along its own length, each of thestruts 131 is preferably at least substantially uniform inwidth 140 andthickness 142 along its entire length. Furthermore, all of thestruts 131 are preferably at least substantially uniform, with respect to each other, inwidth 140 andthickness 142 along at least a majority of their respective lengths. - As stated, the
support extension 130 preferably includes a plurality ofstruts 131 that are coupled together. Alternatively, asingle strut 131 could be used to extend between thecoupling flange 110 and theaccessory brace 150. If a plurality ofstruts 131 is used, thestruts 131 are coupled, such as by welding or even being formed integrally together, by being cast or machined from a single piece of material, for example. Indeed, thesupport extension 130 may even be formed integrally with thecoupling flange 110, thereby creating a unitary coupling and support member. Various materials may be used for the support struts 131, from plastics to reinforced paper to metal, which may be solid materials, perforated materials and/or even tubular materials. - In addition to the
coupling flange 110 and thesupport extension 130, thebracket 100 includes theaccessory brace 150. Theaccessory brace 150 is coupled to and supported by thesupport extension 130 and is adapted to receive anaccessory 400, such as a commercially available rangefinder advertised for use as a handheld rangefinder. Theaccessory brace 150 preferably includes acorner bracket 152 including aside plate 154, aback plate 156, and abottom plate 158. While various configurations are contemplated, the plates are preferably generally planar plates that are pairwise orthogonal. The plates may be individually formed and then coupled, e.g. by welding. Additionally or alternatively, theplates bracket 152 may be cast or machined from a single unitary piece of material. Thecorner bracket 152 is coupled to thesupport extension 130, such as by a plurality of threadedfasteners 159. Other methods of coupling theaccessory brace 150 to thesupport extension 130 may depend upon chosen materials and may include adhesive bonding, welding, or even forming theaccessory brace 150 integrally with thesupport extension 130, such as by injection molding, casting or machining. In cooperation with thecorner bracket 152, theaccessory brace 150 also preferably includes anaccessory retainer 160, such as astrap 162. While theaccessory retainer 160 may be designed specially to interface to aparticular accessory 400, astrap 162 may provide greater flexibility to adapt thebracket 100 for use with a variety ofdifferent accessories 400. Thestrap 162 may be divided into afirst strap 162 a and asecond strap 162 b. Thestrap 162 is preferably split and provided with amale clip portion 164 on one end and afemale clip portion 166 on the other. As such, once an accessory 400 is positioned in a desired location on theaccessory brace 150, theclip portions accessory 400 in a relatively stationary position with respect to thebracket 100. Rather than have positively lockingclip portions strap 162 may be provided with a buckle, such as a friction buckle, may be provided with a hook-and-loop fastening mechanism, such as Velcro®, or may even be provided as a single piece, with no split, thereby removing any need for a fastening mechanism. If thestrap 162 is provided with no split, thestrap 162 is preferably formed from a material having elastic properties so that thestrap 162 may be stretched away from thecorner bracket 152 to allow insertion of theaccessory 400 and may be released to secure theaccessory 400 to thebracket 152. -
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 provide anembodiment 200 of an archery bow, on which thebracket 100 ofFIG. 1 is installed and supporting anaccessory 400. Provided inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 are directional arrows to aid in describing relative component positioning. The arrows relate to a two-dimensional plane of description and not necessarily to the third spatial dimension. In other words, use of the arrows for descriptive purposes does not suggest or indicate coplanarity of referenced components. For instance, a first component lying in the direction ofarrow 302, from a second component, may be said to be ahead or in front of, leading, or forward of that second component. A first component lying in the direction ofarrow 304, from a second component, may be said to be behind, in back of, trailing, or rearward of that second component. A first component lying in the direction ofarrow 306 of a second component may be said to be above that second component, and a first component lying in the direction ofarrow 308 from a second component may be said to be below that second component. A first component lying in the direction ofarrow 310 may be said to be on the draw side of thearchery bow 200 and a component lying in the direction ofarrow 312 may be said to be on the sight side of thearchery bow 200, which is the side of thebow 200 on which anarrow rest 215 is provided. Thedraw side 310 andsight side 312 shown correlate to a righthanded archery bow 200. The directions and related descriptions serve only as aids in explanation and are not intended to limit any complete embodiment of the invention to a particular spatial orientation. It will be understood to those in the art that the directions are easily translatable to a left handed archery bow. - The
archery bow 200 includes ariser body 202 having anupper riser portion 204 and alower riser portion 206. Depending at least partially rearwardly from theupper portion 204 of theriser body 202 is anupper limb 208. Depending at least partially rearwardly from the lower portion 205 of theriser body 202 is alower limb 210. Coupled to, or formed as a part of theriser body 202, between theupper portion 204 and thelower portion 206, or at the intersection thereof, is agrip 212, which establishes apivot point 214. When thegrip 212 is grasped by a hand of a user, thepivot point 214 normally engages at least the proximal phalanges of the user's thumb and forefinger. As can be seen inFIG. 3 , thebracket 100 has been coupled to the archerybow riser body 202, such as by threadedfasteners 117 extending through theriser plate 112 and threadably engaging corresponding threaded apertures (not shown) formed in theriser body 202. Alternatively, thebracket 100 could be strapped or adhered onto theriser body 202 or even formed integrally therewith contemporaneously with the formation of theriser body 202. The stabilizingwings 114 preferably rest against or near theriser body 202, so as to assist in preventing rotation of thebracket 100 about the threadedfasteners 117. Thus, when thebracket 100 is coupled to theriser body 202, theaccessory brace 150 is situated above thegrip pivot point 214 and behind theriser body 202. -
FIG. 5 provides a view of apreferred mounting envelope 220, or space, in which at least a portion of anaccessory 400 is mounted, relative to apivot point 214 defined by anarchery bow grip 212. Theenvelope 220 is preferably rectangular in shape and may lie on thedraw side 310 of thebowstring 216. A lowerfront corner 222 of theenvelope 220 is provided afirst distance 223, preferably about 3 inches, behind thepivot point 214 and asecond distance 225, preferably about 5 inches, above thepivot point 214. An upperfront corner 224 of the mountingenvelope 220 is provided athird distance 227, preferably about 8 inches, above the lowerfront corner 222, and preferably approximately directly above the lowerfront corner 222. Anupper back corner 226 of the mountingenvelope 220 is provided afourth distance 229, preferably about 10 inches, behind the upperfront corner 224, and preferably approximately directly behind the upperfront corner 224. Alower back corner 228 of the mountingenvelope 220 is provided afifth distance 231, preferably about 8 inches, below theupper back corner 226, and preferably approximately directly below theupper back corner 226, and preferably approximately directly behind the lowerfront corner 222. In use, as shown inFIG. 6 , thearchery bow 200 having abracket 100 andaccessory 400 coupled thereto, can be held by auser 1, such as when theuser 1 is seated on aseat 3 supported by a tree 5. - Additionally, or alternatively, determination of the mounting
envelope 220 may be assisted by reference to a portion of anarchery bow 200 that is not thepivot point 214 defined by thegrip 212.FIG. 7 depicts an alternate or additional reference point in addition to thepivot point 214 for determining at least a portion of the mountingenvelope 220. That is, the frontlower corner 222 of the mountingenvelope 220 may be provided thefirst distance 223, preferably about 3 inches, behind thepivot point 214 and asixth distance 233, preferably about 23 inches, above the lowestoperative point 230 of thearchery bow 200 in its at rest, i.e. undrawn, state. The lowestoperative point 230 is to be understood as the lowermost portion of thearchery bow 200 that is required by design for operation of thebow 200. Therefore, on a compound bow, the lowestoperative point 230 is likely to be the bottom of the lowest cam, and on a long bow, the lowest operative point is likely to be the tip of the lower limb. As can be seen inFIG. 8 , such arrangement may be advantageous if thearchery bow 200 is to be rested on aseat 3 on which auser 1 is situated during use. As can also be seen inFIG. 8 , modifications to thesupport extension 130 may effect the desired positioning of theaccessory 400, such as the shortening of thefirst riser strut 132. Alternatively, or additionally, the lateral struts 134,138 may be lengthened or shortened and thefirst riser strut 132 may be lengthened, depending upon desired positioning. - Necessarily, any accessory to be mounted to an archery bow has a mass. Balance of an archery bow is thought to be an important aspect for accurate aim and overall shooting comfort. As a result, it may be desirable to distribute the mass of an accessory, thereby concentrating a majority of the mass at a desired location while operatively placing a portion of the accessory in a desired mounting envelope, an example of such mounting envelope having been previously described.
FIG. 9 andFIG. 11 are directed to an accessory having a desired mass distribution and an archery setup incorporating same.FIG. 9 depicts anembodiment 500 of an accessory to be mounted on an archery bow, theaccessory 500 having a desired mass distribution. Generally, theaccessory 500 has alength 502 comprising afirst portion 510 and asecond portion 530, where thefirst portion 510 has a larger mass than thesecond portion 530. Thefirst portion 510 may include afirst housing 512, which may at least partially contain the majority of electronics for calculating a distance, such as a distance from theaccessory 500 to a sighted object. An example of such majority of electronics is a majority of the processing electronics for a rangefinder. Thesecond portion 530 preferably includes asecond housing 532 extending longitudinally away from thefirst housing 512. Thehousings second housing 532 may support a portion of the operational structure of theaccessory 500, such as aneyepiece 534. Thesecond housing 532 may contain a hollow cavity (not shown) to provide a conduit for allowing electronic communication, such as by electrical conductors, or wires, between electronics in thefirst housing 512 and electronics in thesecond housing 532. - It may be desirable to provide interchangeable second portions of different lengths, which may be electrically communicatively coupled to the
first portion 510.FIG. 10 depicts asecond portion 630 that has ashorter length 602 than thelength 502 of thesecond portion 530 ofFIG. 9 . Thesecond portion 630 may be coupled to thefirst portion 510 and supported thereby. Aplug 614 having electricallyconductive contacts 614 a may be provided to cooperate with a socket orjack 514 in thefirst portion 510. Thesecond portion 630 comprises ahousing 632, which preferably has a hollow cavity (not shown) therein, thereby providing a conduit for running electrical conductors, such as wires, from theplug 614 orfirst housing 512 to another portion of the accessory, such as theeyepiece 634. Alternatively, the twoportions first housing 512 and asecond housing -
FIG. 11 depicts theaccessory 500 ofFIG. 9 mounted to anarchery bow 200. A majority of the mass of theaccessory 500, which may include thefirst housing 512, is preferably positioned next to theriser body 202. Theaccessory 500 may be positioned next to theriser body 202 by being coupled directly thereto, such as by an adhesive, or it may be supported upon a bracket, as shown. Theaccessory 500 may be in a touching or a spaced relationship with respect to theriser body 202. Theaccessory 500 may be situated, e.g., on thecorner bracket 152, which was described earlier, and secured thereto with anaccessory retainer 160. Thecorner bracket 152 may be mounted directly to thefirst riser strut 132, which is coupled at afirst end 132 a to thecoupling flange 110, as previously described. The coupling of thecorner bracket 152 to theriser strut 132 may be accomplished via fastening mechanisms such as screws, adhesives or welding (not shown). Thecoupling flange 110 is secured to thearchery bow 200 by, e.g., threadedfasteners 117 engaged with threaded apertures (not shown) in theriser body 202 of thearchery bow 200, the threaded apertures (not shown) usually being provided for the mounting of bow sights (not shown) or other accessories, such as a quiver (not shown). Once positioned and supported on thebow 200, at least a portion, such as aneyepiece 534, of theaccessory 500 is located in a desired mounting envelope, as described earlier, while a majority of the mass of theaccessory 500 is positioned at least substantially directly above thepivot point 214. -
FIG. 11 also depicts aremote activation device 550 for theaccessory 500. Usually, in the case of a rangefinder, the device is activated by the depression of a push button (not shown) that is in direct mechanical communication with the housing of the rangefinder. However, a mounting location on an archery bow has been heretofore overlooked; namely, aforward surface 560 oppositely disposed across thegrip 212 from thepivot point 214. Thus, aremote activation device 550 may be mounted to theforward surface 560, which may comprise the forward surface of theriser body 202, or in the case of a wrap-aroundgrip 212 which encompasses theriser body 202, the forward surface of thegrip 212, itself. Such mounting position provides ease of activation by a finger of an archer, such as the forefinger of the hand that engages thegrip 212 contemporaneously with drawing thebowstring 216. Theremote activation device 550 may be provided as, for example, a push-button switch 552, which may be a normally open or normally closed switch, depending upon desired communication with or control of theaccessory 500. Theswitch 552 may be mounted to theforward surface 560 by, e.g., adhesive. Theremote activation device 550 may be in electronic communication with theaccessory 500, such as by wireless radio frequency communication, or simply through the use of one or moreconductive wires 554. Such aremote activation device 550 may also be used in conjunction with anaccessory 400 supported by thefirst bracket 100, as shown inFIG. 12 . - The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Furthermore, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described. For instance, while the
support extension 130 has been shown to be rigid, theextension 130 may be adjustable while maintaining a portion of anaccessory 400 within a predetermined mountingenvelope 220. While the preferred embodiment has been described, the details may be changed without departing from the invention, which is defined by the claims.
