Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of archery equipment, and in particular to a bow with a bow safety cord protection module. Background Technology
[0002] In archery, archers—whether training or competing—must ensure the bow handle remains stable during arrow release. At the moment of release, the bow limbs generate significant kinetic energy, potentially causing the bow handle to slip out of the hand, fall to the ground, and become damaged. To address this issue, current technology commonly employs a bow safety cord: the user ties one end of a cord to the back of their hand and the other end to the bow handle. In this way, the cord provides traction the bow handle the moment it slips from the hand, preventing it from falling directly to the ground and effectively protecting the bow from serious damage. This simple and easy-to-implement design has become a common safety measure for archery enthusiasts and professional athletes, and is widely used in various archery equipment.
[0003] However, this existing technology has significant shortcomings in practical applications: it often leads to wear or peeling of the coating on the bow handle, severely affecting the overall aesthetics and appearance of the bow. Specifically, when the bow handle is accidentally dropped, the bow guard will inevitably come into violent contact with the surface of the handle through friction. The coatings on bow handles are usually made of high-performance materials such as anodized layers, metallic paint coatings, ceramic paint coatings, or transfer coatings, which are designed to improve the durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance of the equipment. However, because the bow guard is made of rough fibrous materials (such as common nylon or cotton rope), the friction between the rope and the coating will gradually peel away the surface structure of these coatings during repeated bow drops. For example, the fine pores of the anodized layer can easily be embedded and scratched by the rope fibers, while metallic or ceramic paint coatings may develop scratches or localized peeling due to surface friction. This accumulated wear and tear not only causes noticeable mottled spots or discoloration on the bow handle, but also ruins the overall visual appeal of the original design—which is especially important in archery, as the aesthetics of the bow are closely related to the athlete's confidence and the spectator value of the competition. Essentially, this deficiency stems from the way the bow guard is secured, which fails to account for the fragility of the coating: the shearing force generated by the direct contact and dynamic friction of the rope, combined with the impact energy from each fall, accelerates the mechanical degradation of the coating. Especially during frequent training, the wear process intensifies, eventually resulting in the bow, while not completely damaged, losing its professional appearance and impacting user satisfaction and long-term value.
[0004] Therefore, developing new technologies to address the aforementioned shortcomings has significant practical implications and market value. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art and provide a bow with a bow cord protection module. While maintaining the traditional anti-fall function of the bow cord, this bow can significantly reduce the direct friction between the bow cord and the bow handle, avoid damage to the decorative coating on the surface of the bow handle, and improve the durability and aesthetics of the bow.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a bow with a bow rope protection module. The bow structure includes a bow body, a bow rope protection module disposed on the outer surface of the bow handle, and fasteners for fixing and connecting the bow rope protection module. The bow body is provided with a positioning protrusion and a fixing lock hole in the area in contact with the bow rope for installing the bow rope protection module.
[0007] The bow rope protection module has a strip or arc-shaped structure, and its inner surface is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning protrusion. During installation, the bow rope protection module is embedded in the outer surface of the bow handle body through the concave-convex fit. Then, the fasteners and the fixing lock holes are used to complete the final locking, realizing the integrated assembly of the structure and facilitating disassembly and replacement later.
[0008] Furthermore, the positioning protrusion is integrally formed on the outer surface of the bow body, and its shape can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or semi-circular.
[0009] Furthermore, the bow rope protection module has through holes at both ends for fasteners to pass through and to mate with threaded holes on the bow body.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this application adds an independent bowstring protection module to the surface of the bow handle body and uses a matching positioning protrusion structure to achieve stable installation of the bowstring protection module. This ensures that the bowstring only contacts the protection module under normal stress, rather than directly contacting the bow body, thus avoiding surface damage caused by repeated friction between the bowstring and the bow handle. This structural design balances structural strength, ease of installation, and maintainability of component replacement, and is suitable for various types of bows, including competition bows and training bows.

[0020] To facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solution of this application by those skilled in the art, a specific and feasible implementation method is now described in detail for the bow with a bow protection rope module described in this application.
[0021] See attached document Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment discloses a bow structure applicable to high-frequency use scenarios such as competitive bows or training bows. The overall bow structure consists of a bow body 1, a bow line protection module 2, and fasteners 3 for fixed connection. These three components, in their assembled state, form a tightly fitted, accurately positioned, and structurally stable integrated assembly structure, effectively improving the bow's wear resistance and maintainability during use.
[0022] In this structure, the bow body 1 is integrally machined from a metal alloy or high-strength composite material, possessing excellent mechanical strength and rigidity. On the outer surface of its central axis region, in the area where the bow line may come into contact and rub against the bow, a positioning protrusion 3 is machined. The positioning protrusion 3 is an integral structure with the bow body 1 and can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or semi-circular in cross-sectional shape, depending on the specific bow design. The function of the positioning protrusion 3 is to provide an installation reference surface, enabling the subsequently installed bow line protection module 2 to achieve reliable and stable engagement and positioning, preventing relative slippage of the module under dynamic forces.
[0023] The bowstring protection module 2 is primarily made of high-density metal, including but not limited to stainless steel, titanium alloy, copper, glass, or synthetic ceramics. Alternatively, it can be made of high-polymer wear-resistant materials such as reinforced nylon, polyoxymethylene, or composite carbon fiber, injection molded into a strip or arc shape to fit the outer contour of the bow body 1. Its inner surface has a groove structure (angle not shown in the figure) precisely corresponding to the positioning protrusion 3. This groove is integrally formed during manufacturing using CNC machining or injection molding, ensuring precise control of the assembly gap and preventing loosening or interference. Through the precise fit of the protrusion and concave structure, the bowstring protection module 2 can be stably embedded in the bow body 1, achieving a reliable pre-positioning function.
[0024] Furthermore, the bow rope protection module 2 has through holes 4 at both ends. These through holes 4 are penetrating structures, formed by molding or post-processing, for fasteners 5 to pass through and connect to the threaded locking holes 6 on the bow body 1. In a specific implementation, the bow body 1 has threaded locking holes 5 pre-set at the corresponding through holes 4. These locking holes are preferably located in the adjacent areas at both ends of the positioning protrusion 3 and are formed by threading to achieve precise locking of the fasteners 5. The fasteners 5 can be hex socket screws, countersunk screws, or other standard fasteners, and the material can be stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloy to ensure that they do not easily loosen under long-term stress.
[0025] During assembly, the operator first aligns the groove on the inner surface of the bowstring protection module 2 with the positioning protrusion 3 on the bow body 1, allowing it to slide smoothly into and be fitted into the corresponding installation position, completing the initial positioning. Then, the fastener 5 passes through the through hole 4 of the protection module and screws into the threaded locking hole 6 of the bow body, completing the final locking operation. In the locked state, the bowstring protection module 2 remains stable on the bow body 1, and will not shift or loosen even when the bowstring bounces at high speed, causing a momentary impact.
[0026] Through the above structural design, in this embodiment, the bow guard only comes into frictional contact with the bow guard protection module 2 during use, avoiding direct contact with the surface of the bow body 1. Compared with traditional structures, the structure of this embodiment significantly reduces the risk of surface scratches, material fatigue, or localized breakage caused by prolonged friction. This is especially beneficial in practical operating scenarios where the bow guard experiences frequent stretching or rebounding.
[0027] Further analysis of the working principle of this structure reveals that during the drawing and releasing of the bow, the bow guard line periodically contacts the edge area of the bow body 1. In traditional structures, this frequent contact inevitably causes coating damage, localized material damage, or burr formation, affecting subsequent stability. However, in the structure of this embodiment, the bow guard line contacts a high-strength, wear-resistant bow line protection module 2. This module possesses excellent impact and wear resistance and can be periodically replaced according to actual usage frequency and environment. This achieves functional isolation and structural protection between the bow body 1 and the bow line, effectively extending the overall service life of the bow.
[0028] Furthermore, since the bow line protection module 2 adopts a removable design, the installation process is quick and efficient. In the event of local wear or aging, the individual module can be directly replaced without affecting other structures of the bow. Maintenance is simple and quick, significantly improving the maintainability, service cycle and economy of the overall bow at the user level.
[0029] It should be noted that the parts not described in detail above, such as the specific fastener model, groove shape tolerance, and processing parameters, all fall within the conventional technical scope that can be freely selected by those skilled in the art based on actual product design, and therefore have not been elaborated upon.
[0030] While exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included within the scope of protection of this disclosure as defined by the claims.
