FALL AWAY ARROW REST SYSTEM

摘要

An arrow rest device for bows and similar equipment is provided. The arrow rest can include a y-shaped launcher, a shaft and a housing with an activator. The launcher and the activator can be fixedly connected to the shaft and rotate therewith. Within the housing can be a wall with an obstruction that can be shaped and designed to interact with a ball detent or similar component located on the end of the activator. The activator can be configured to rotate inside the housing wall and can be coupled to the housing with a biasing element that urges rotation of the activator and shaft in one direction. The activator can rotate in the housing between three positions, each corresponding to an orientation of the launcher. In one position, the activator is maintained by the wall so as to allow the launcher to have an upright orientation for supporting an arrow.

主权项

1. A fall away arrow rest system for use with a bow, said arrow rest comprising:
a housing adapted for attachment to said bow, said housing including a cavity having a wall with a first indentation and a notch defined at least partially within said first indentation; a rotatable shaft including a first portion rotatably secured to and supported by said housing and a second portion extending from said housing; a launcher attached to said second portion of said shaft; an activator disposed within said cavity of said housing and coupled to said shaft, said activator selectively configured for rotation and movement within said cavity, wherein said rotation and movement of said activator causing movement and rotation of said shaft and said launcher attached to said second portion of said shaft; and a torsional biasing element coupled to said housing at one end and to at least one of said shaft and said activator at a second end, said torsional biasing element configured for creating a torque about the longitudinal axis of said shaft, said torque urging rotation of said activator within said cavity and said launcher attached to said second end of said shaft from a drawn third position to an upright second position to a lowered first position; wherein said activator is positioned immediately adjacent said notch when in said upright second position, wherein said activator is operable to be rotated away from said notch in a direction opposite of said urged rotation created by said torsional biasing element to said drawn third position, and wherein said activator is operable to be rotated away from said notch in the direction of said urged rotation created by said torsional biasing element to said lowered first position; wherein said activator comprises a stopping component with a depressable detent and a compression biasing element below said depressable detent.
