Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The present utility model relates to a structure of an arrow sheath, in particular a stabilizing structure for a quiver. Technology in the background
[0002] A typical bow and arrow includes accessories such as a bowstring, a rifle body, a striker, and arrows. For an archer, the aiming process must be smooth and uninterrupted to avoid outside interference, simplifying the aiming process and eliminating the steps of drawing and setting up arrows to maintain a high level of accuracy and stability. Many archers choose a crossbow with a quiver that can automatically load multiple arrows, eliminating the tedious process of drawing and setting up each arrow, improving accuracy and stability and reducing the risk of loss of accuracy or miscalculation due to external factors.
[0003] The structure of a well-known crossbow arrow casing, as shown in the Fig. As shown in Figures 18 to 20, the arrow case 80 is mounted on a crossbow 90, which is provided with an arrow rest platform 91, a bowstring 92 spanning the arrow rest platform 91, and a nock assembly 93 mounted on the crossbow 90 near the rear end of the crossbow 90. The arrow case 80 is in the shape of an elongated box with an arrow slot 81 divided from the upper end to the lower end, which is connected to the arrow rest platform 91 of the crossbow 90, and the arrow slot 81 is used for stacking a plurality of arrow bodies 82 on top of each other. An arrow nock 821 is provided at one end of the arrow body 82, and a slide rail 83 in which the bowstring 92 can be slid is formed between the arrow magazine 80 and the arrow rest platform 91.
[0004] When the archer shoots, the bowstring 92 is pulled toward the nocking device 93 in the slide rail 83, so that the bowstring 92 passes between the lowest arrow body 82 and the slide rail 83 until the bowstring 92 is hooked to the nocking device 93. At this time, the lowest arrow body 82 is freed from the constraint of the bowstring 92 and falls onto the arrow rest platform 91, ready to be fired at any time. After firing, the archer only needs to repeat the above-mentioned operation to allow the new arrow body 82 to fall back into the arrow rest platform 91, thus realizing continuous firing, reducing the steps of drawing and setting up arrows, and improving shooting performance.
[0005] However, if the bowstring 92 of the crossbow is half-drawn and released under special circumstances (e.g. aiming movement or nervousness of the archer, hesitation, etc.), the arrow body 82 at the lowest part of the arrow slot 81 is tilted at an inclined angle by the bowstring 92 and pulled forward (see Fig. 20), which results in the arrow body 82 being abraded and may even result in the arrow body 82 becoming stuck inside the arrow housing 80, creating a potential safety hazard. Content of the utility model
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the construction of the conventional arrow sheath, the inventor, after many discussions and test models and after many corrections and improvements, came up with the idea of creating the utility model.
[0007] The present utility model provides a stabilizing structure for a quiver, comprising: a bow body having an arrow rest platform and a bowstring spanning the arrow rest platform; an arrow sleeve having a front and a back, mounted on top of the arrow platform of the bow body, and having an arrow slot extending from the top to the bottom of the sleeve for receiving a plurality of arrows, and having an arrowhead at one end of the sleeve and two opposing quills at the other end of the sleeve, and having a slideway formed between the arrow sleeve and the arrow platform so that the bowstring can be slid within the slideway;a stopper provided on the bow and controllably movable between a stop position and a release position, wherein the stopper, when in the stop position, locks the fletching of the arrow in the nock to prevent the arrow from falling; and a return means springing against the stopper to maintain the stopper in the stop position in a normal state.
[0008] The main purpose of the stabilizing structure of the arrow sheath of the present utility model is to prevent the bottom arrow in the sheath from being pulled forward by the bowstring when the bowstring is pulled halfway and then released, so as to reduce the wear of the arrow and prevent the arrow from getting stuck in the sheath, thereby increasing convenience and safety.

[0010] The following illustrations are provided in conjunction with the drawings of the better embodiments of the present utility model to enable persons familiar with the relevant technology of the present utility model to implement the utility model in accordance with the description of the present specification.
[0011] As in the Fig. 1 to 8, the stable drop structure of the arrow case of the present utility model includes: a bow body 10, an arrow case 20, an arrow stopper 30, a retractor 40, a safety switch 50, and a string puller 60.
[0012] The bow body 10 includes an arrow rest platform 11, a bowstring 12 spanning the arrow rest platform 11, a handle 13, and a shaft 14. In this embodiment, the bow body 10 is a crossbow, and the two ends of the bowstring 12 are attached to the two ends of a guide groove 15 located near the front end of the bow body 10. The handle 13 and the shaft 14 are located near the rear end of the bow body 10, and the bow body 10 is provided with opposing guide grooves 16 on both sides.
[0013] The arrow magazine 20 is mounted on top of the arrow rest platform 11 of the bow body 10 and has a front and a rear side. The arrow magazine 20 is provided internally with an arrow rest groove 21 extending from the top end to the bottom end for stacking and accommodating a plurality of arrows 22. The arrow body 22 has a cam 221 at one end at the front of the arrow magazine 20 and two opposing springs 222 at the other end at the rear of the arrow magazine 20. A slideway 23 is formed between the arrow magazine 20 and the arrow rest platform 11 so that the bowstring 12 can be slid within the slideway 23. A notch 24 connected to the arrow channel 21 is provided on the side of the arrow magazine 20 facing the shaft 14.
[0014] The arrow stop 30 is arranged on the bow body 10 against the lower rear side of the arrow channel 21 of the arrow magazine 20 and can be controlled to move between a stop position 30A (see the Fig. 4, Fig. 8 and Fig. 13) and a release position 30B (see the Fig. 5 and Fig. 7). When the stopper 30 is in the stop position 30A, it locks the spring 222 of the lowermost arrow body 22 of the arrow magazine 20 to prevent the arrow magazine 20 from falling. In this embodiment, the arrow stopper 30 is provided with a limit lever 31, the arrow stopper 30 is provided with two stop arms 32 toward the guide grooves 15 (in front of the arrow magazine 20), the two stop arms 32 are provided in the notch 24 of the arrow magazine 20, and the arrow stopper 30 is provided with two opposing pressing portions 33 protruding on both sides of the bow body 10.
[0015] The return device 40 is used to spring against the holder 30 to hold the holder 30 in a normal state in the stop position 30A, in this embodiment, the return device 40 is a spring.
[0016] The safety switch 50 is provided below the arrow stop 30 and can be controlled to switch between a closed position 50A (see the Fig. 4, Fig. 7, Fig. 9) and an open position 50B (see the Fig. 15 and Fig. 16), wherein the safety switch 50 has two opposing tabs 51 which protrude from both sides of the arch body 10.
[0017] The string puller 60 is attached to the bow body 10 to pull the bowstring 12 taut while simultaneously moving the arrow stopper 30 to the release position 30B and switching the safety switch 50 to the open position 50B. In this embodiment, the string puller 60 is mounted between the grip 13 and the shaft 14 and is provided with a locking plate 61 and two tie rods 62. The locking plate 61 is hooked to the bow body 10 for attachment, and when attached, it can lock the limit lever 31 of the arrow stopper 30, thereby fixing the arrow stopper 30 in the stop position 30A to prevent abnormal operation of the arrow stopper 30. The two tie rods 62 are rotatably supported by the guide grooves 16 on both sides of the bow body 10 so that they can slide along the guide grooves 16.
[0018] When performing the tendon pulling procedure, first, as in Fig. 9, the locking plate 61 of the string pulling device 60 is pressed to separate the locking plate 61 from the bow body 10, and then, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the string pulling device 60 is driven by the butt cap 14, so that the two pull rods 62 of the string pulling device 60 pull the bowstring 12 along the guide grooves 16. When the bowstring 12 is pulled halfway, if a special circumstance exists (e.g., a target movement or a nervous or hesitant archer, etc.) and the bowstring 12 is selected for release, the bowstring 12 smoothly returns to its original position without pulling the lowermost arrow body 22 in the arrow magazine 20 forward, because the spring 222 in the lower arrow body 22 in the arrow magazine 20 is blocked by the arrow stopper 30, as shown in Figure 10. Fig. 11 shown.
[0019] Furthermore, under normal conditions, the two pull rods 62 of the string pulling device 60 pull the bowstring 12 along the guide groove 16 until the two pull rods 62 are pressed against the two pressure sections 33 of the arrow stopper 30, as shown in the Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, and the two pull rods 62 push the arrow stopper 30 to move from the stop position 30A to the release position 30B. The two stop arms 32 of the arrow stopper 30 are then released by the spring 222 of the lowest arrow body 22 in the arrow magazine 20, causing the lowest arrow body 22 in the arrow magazine 20 to automatically fall onto the slideway 23, thereby realizing the arrow loading effect. In addition, the two pull rods 62 push the safety switch 50 from the closed position 50A to the open position 50B, as shown in the Fig.14 to 17, and then the shaft 14 pushes the string puller 60 to operate in the reverse direction, thereby causing the arrow stopper 30 to return to its original position, and the two stop arms 32 of the arrow stopper 30 again lock the two springs 222 of the corresponding arrow bodies 22, thereby preventing the arrow bodies 22 from falling downward. The two pull rods 62 of the string puller 60 are returned to their original positions along the guide groove 16, and the locking plate 61 of the string puller 60 is re-hooked to the bow body 10, thus completing the preparation for drawing and loading arrows, and making it ready to fire at any time.
[0020] The following advantages can be achieved by the structure of the embodiment described above: The stable falling structure of the arrow sleeve of the present utility model, when the bowstring 12 is drawn halfway and then released, the arrow body 22 at the bottom of the arrow magazine 20 is not pulled forward by the bowstring 12, which not only reduces the wear of the arrow body 22, but also effectively prevents the arrow body 22 from getting stuck in the inner part of the arrow magazine 20 and ensures the smoothness of the bow aiming, thereby improving the convenience and safety of using the arrow.
