Crossbow Trigger-release Aid

Abstract

A device providing for the disarming of a loaded crossbow in order to relieve the tension of the bow safely and facilitating an unloading process is described. The device employs a pair of bow grip handles equipped with J-shaped hooks, designed to grip the bowstring during the application and release of bow tension. The bow grip handles are fashioned with a receptacle configured to receive a mounting member in order to hold the bow grip handles in place against the body of the crossbow, providing for the tension of the bow to be safely released after the trigger of the crossbow is disarmed. Each embodiment of the device is preferably equipped with an anti-fire bolt for use with anti-fire trigger systems.

Description

[0001]This application is a non-provisional application of Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 841,588, filed on Jul. 01, 2013, and priority is claimed thereto.FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to projectile devices, and more specifically, those including trigger-activated arrow suspension systems such as crossbows.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0003]During the process of loading a crossbow, the user is conventionally required to exert force on the bow, cocking the bow into place near the rear of the crossbow frame. The bow is usually locked in place by a trigger, which may also be locked in place via a safety or trigger-switch. Additionally, during the process of loading a crossbow, the arrow is conventionally placed proximal or against the bow. The trigger may hold the arrow in place as well, in order to ensure that the bolt is retained in place for firing when the crossbow assembly is aimed or pointed downward. Many devices have been crafted...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an attachment mechanism and system that allows for safely releasing the trigger of a loaded crossbow without firing or delivering force to the bolt or arrow. It uses a pair of bowstring grip handles that are designed to grip the bowstring and facilitate the user's draw of the bowstring. This invention offers a more secure and safe way to use crossbows, minimizing the risk of injury or damage to the equipment.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, once a crossbow is cocked and loaded, it is conventionally required to remain in a loaded state until it is fired.

Historically, it is not an easy process, or is simply impossible to disarm or unload a loaded crossbow without actually firing the bolt or arrow.

While some high-end or expensive crossbows may have a disarming aid built into the trigger mechanism, the vast majority of crossbows are unequipped with such a feature.
