Nock device for bow

Abstract

One or more techniques and / or systems are disclosed for a nock device that may be used on an arrow. A top portion a nock device can comprise one or more pairs of string guide impression on its top surface, where the respective one or more pairs of string guide impressions may be symmetrically arranged on the top surface, with respect to each other. A first pair of string guide impression can be disposed along a first bisecting line on the top surface, and, if present, a second pair of string guide impressions can be disposed along a second bisecting line on the top surface. The respective one or more pairs of string guide impression can be configured to receive a bowstring, where the first pair may receive the bowstring in a first orientation, and the second pair, if present, may receive the bowstring in a second orientation.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 669,833 filed Nov. 6, 2012, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 556,527 filed Nov. 7, 2011, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.I. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the sport of archery it is well known to provide a so-called nock at the rear end of the arrow, which, in essence is a slot, or other means, to engage the bowstring of a bow during the draw. It is also well known that in order to perform a good aim and subsequent shot of the arrow the nock should be placed on the bow string at a point close to the center of the bowstring and that said point should also be aligned horizontally with a point at which the arrow is supported at the center of the bow. In order to attain such alignment, it is known to provide a so-called center nock attached to the center of the bowstring, which may engage the rear...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This design enhances shot accuracy by allowing multiple alignment positions, mitigating misalignment issues and ensuring consistent arrow flight paths, accommodating both right- and left-handed shooters and various bow configurations.

Problems solved by technology

Current nocks in the marketplace may include flat, half-moon or slotted nocks that are not versatile, in that, they may need to be placed in a specific orientation, namely, in a specific orientation with respect to an arrow's vanes or fletching.

As an example, aligning the arrow according to the vanes in a wrong position may not allow the nock to effectively engage the bowstring.

That is, for example, a groove in the nock may not lie along the bowstring properly.

Also, flat nocks (e.g., those without noticeable grooves and / or slots) may allow the user to engage the arrow with the bowstring in any desired alignment; however, they do not properly align the vanes in an effective position each time the arrow is drawn.
