Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shooting and in particular to an arrow chain structure through which several arrow bodies can be inserted.

[0002] With the rise in popularity of sports in recent years, more and more sports enthusiasts are trying out a variety of new sports, such as korfball, dragon boat racing, archery, and so on. Among these, archery stands out for its enjoyment of training concentration and arm muscle endurance. As a result, more and more people are investing in archery. There are even sporting events organized specifically for archery. In archery, the user typically wears a quiver around their waist and one leg, containing several arrows. After shooting an arrow, the user must take a new one from the quiver, nock it, and aim again. Professional archers must complete the entire shooting process in one continuous shot to maintain focus on the sight and avoid misjudgments due to external distractions.If, during the archery process described above, the user takes a new arrow after each shot, they lose concentration and have to aim again. This method places too much mental strain on the archer, leading to a lack of focus and negatively impacting competition results. Furthermore, during competition, the time between arrows is regulated and must not be exceeded. However, having to nock a new arrow after each shot undoubtedly increases the overall shooting time. This is also one of the factors that affects shooting accuracy and consistency.

[0003] CN 108 592 694 A discloses a crossbow comprising, among other things, a cocking mechanism, a dart mechanism, and a magazine loading mechanism. The upper cocking mechanism includes a lever for cocking the bowstring and a central column. The dart mechanism includes a cam, a pawl, a ratchet, a drive shaft, a drive sprocket, a blade connection, and a sprocket. The cam and the lever are pivotally connected. The upper part of the cam's drive rod has a groove-shaped notch. The movement track of the cam movably engages with the notch. The pawl transmits the motion via the drive shaft to the drive sprocket. When the lever is cocked, the arcuate track of the cam's end drives the pawl's drive rod, thus driving the drive sprocket through the drive shaft.The magazine loading mechanism comprises arrows, a lower plate, an upper plate, and arrow slots. The lower and upper plates are attached to the central column, and the upper and lower plates are fixed. When the blade assembly rotates, the arrows are moved, and each arrow falls into the arrow slot, similar to a revolver.

[0004] US 3,968,783 A discloses a crossbow comprising a body, a bow, and a bowstring. The body includes a magazine containing multiple projectiles. The bowstring is connected to an impulse slider by passing through one of the openings in the impulse head and the rear element of the impulse slider. A channel runs lengthwise along the body in which the impulse slider moves. The channel includes a projectile exit hole with two slots for the bowstring. When cocked, the impulse slider is held in the rear of the channel by the trigger. A spring pushes the projectiles upward toward the projectile exit hole, with the uppermost projectile being pushed into the exit hole in front of the impulse slider. Upon release of the trigger, the projectile located in the exit hole is forced out of the exit hole by the impulse slider, thus firing it.In the relaxed state, the rear element of the impulse slide is located above the magazine chamber to prevent the insertion of a new projectile into the projectile exit bore. The new projectile is loaded during the next cocking operation.

[0005] US Patent 6,868,845 B1 discloses an automatic loading crossbow with an arrow clip or magazine for storing multiple arrows. The loading crossbow comprises a main frame with two limbs pivotally mounted on opposite sides near the front end of the main frame. A pistol grip is attached to the underside of the rear portion of the main frame and partially encloses a trigger mechanism. This mechanism serves to keep a bowstring taut when the bow is drawn and to release it when the crossbow is fired to launch an arrow. When the bowstring is drawn and locked in the trigger mechanism, a spring pushes the arrows in the arrow clip upward, thus feeding an arrow into the main frame for firing.

[0006] DE 20 2016 101 860 U1 discloses a fastening device for joining thin-walled roof or facade panels in the form of a nail screw. This screw has a shank with a ballistic point at one end and a flat head at the other. A threadless shank section immediately adjoins the ballistic point, and a threaded shank section with a fine thread is formed between the threadless shank section and the flat head. Thirty nail screws are stored in a magazine belt. The magazine belt comprises an elongated base section, which defines a longitudinal axis of the magazine belt, and a plurality of tab-like side sections formed on both longitudinal sides of the base section.Each side section has a through-opening that points towards a distal end of the respective side section, away from the base section. Preferably, the side sections are formed integrally with the base section. Two side sections, molded onto opposite longitudinal sides, are positioned opposite each other in pairs and can be folded from a common plane with the base section into a position essentially perpendicular to the base section. The two through-openings of the side sections are aligned coaxially. The shaft is inserted into the two through-openings and positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the magazine belt and parallel to the base section within the magazine belt.
