Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a quiver and arrow holder. [Background technology]

[0002] A yatate is a tool used in the waiting room of a Kyudo competition venue to temporarily store arrows taken out of a quiver in preparation for heading to the shooting range. A quiver is a container that prevents the arrows from breaking or scattering and is widely known as a tool for storing and carrying multiple arrows. Generally, each player brings his or her own yatate, which is used to store the four arrows to be used in a match from the multiple arrows in the quiver. However, as mentioned in the following document, there have been proposals to use a quiver as an arrow stand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Mito 3230950 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2006-064215 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Generally, each person brings their own handmade arrow holder made of a single cylindrical body, which they use in an upright position. The attempts to make arrow holders using quivers described in References 1 and 2 above are also single upright cylindrical arrow holders. If a single cylindrical arrow holder holds all the arrows in the quiver, the shooter must select and remove the four arrows to be used in the match from it just before heading to the shooting range, which is an extra step. As a participant in a Kyudo competition, before heading to the shooting range, one should aim to be in the best possible condition to draw the bow. This involves regulating one's breathing, calming one's mind, and stabilizing one's spirit and spirit, and it is desirable to have four arrows in one's hand without having to go through the extra trouble of selecting an arrow. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides a quiver body that can accommodate the entire length of a plurality of arrows, has a cylindrical shape with both ends closed, and can be divided into a first cylindrical body with one end open and the other closed, each of which has a length shorter than the entire length of the arrows, and a second cylindrical body with one end open and the other closed; a connecting means for tightly connecting the openings of the first and second cylindrical bodies in the direction of their respective axes to form the quiver body; a cylinder body holding means for holding the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body so that openings of the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body are close to each other when the quiver main body is separated into the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body; The present invention is characterized by having a self-supporting means for supporting the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body held by the cylindrical body holding means in a state in which the axis of the first cylindrical body and the axis of the second cylindrical body are arranged in a twisted position relative to each other.

[0006] In the present invention, the self-supporting means comprises at least two legs, The device is characterized in that it is configured to stand independently with three-point support together with either the first cylindrical body or the second cylindrical body.

[0007] In the present invention, the cylindrical body holding means includes a flat hinge composed of two blades for connecting the openings of the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body in close proximity to each other, At least one of the blades of the flat hinge is connected using only one screw hole for fixing, and the first cylindrical body or the second cylindrical body connected here is configured to be rotatable around the one screw hole as the center of a rotation axis, the connecting means connects the openings of the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body to each other and includes a detachable fastener; The first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body are connected at two points, the flat hinge and the fastener.

[0008] In the present invention, the cylindrical body holding means is composed of a flexible string, wire, cloth, leather belt-shaped member, or other flexible plate-shaped member. It is characterized by: [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] In the present invention, the arrow holder is made up of two cylindrical bodies, the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body, so that the four arrows used in the competition and spare arrows can be stored separately. Furthermore, the openings of the first and second cylindrical bodies held by the cylindrical body holding means are arranged so that the axis of the first cylindrical body and the axis of the second cylindrical body are twisted relative to each other, and this allows the arrows stored in each cylindrical body to face in different directions, making it possible to distinguish at a glance between the four arrows to be used in the competition and the spare arrows.Furthermore, when the four arrows to be used in the competition are stored in an angled arrow holder, the arrows do not scatter but remain in one mass, making it possible to quickly remove the arrows with a single fistful.This ease of use allows the archer to calm his breathing, calm his mind, and increase his concentration before heading to the range without having to go through the extra trouble of selecting arrows, and he can head to the range in the best condition with four arrows in his hands without disturbing his mental stability.In addition to being easy to use, it also has great psychological benefits for the archer.

[0010] The combined quiver and arrow holder of the present invention can perform both functions in one, whereas the conventional arrow holder and arrow holder are separate, and eliminates the burden of manufacturing and transporting a custom-made arrow holder.

[0011] Existing general quivers do not have a means for supporting themselves, so if they are leaned against a wall they are prone to tipping over, and if they are placed flat on the floor they can be stepped on and the quiver and the arrows inside can be damaged. However, when the quiver and quiver stand of the present invention is used as a quiver, the support means allows the quiver to stand on its own, preventing unexpected accidents. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing an example of the quiver and arrow holder of the present invention when used as an arrow holder. [Figure 2] 2 is a diagram showing an example of the quiver / arrow holder shown in FIG. 1 when used as a quiver. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. When the quiver / arrow holder 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as quiver / arrow holder 1) according to one embodiment of the present invention is used as a quiver, it is in the form of a quiver body 12 having a cylindrical shape with both ends closed, as shown in Figure 2. The quiver body 12 is separable and consists of a second cylindrical body 4 (hereinafter simply referred to as cylindrical body 4) which is open on one side and closed on the other, and a first cylindrical body 3 (hereinafter simply referred to as cylindrical body 3) which is open on one side and has a lid 5 which can be opened and closed on the other.

[0014] The quiver body 12 has a length longer than the length of the multiple arrows 2 shown in Figures 1 and 2 and can accommodate their entire length, and the length of each of the cylindrical bodies 3 and 4 is a length that allows the arrows 2 to be stably stored, and specifically, is equal to or shorter than the length of the arrow shaft 6 excluding the feather portion 7 of the arrow 2 to be stored.

[0015] As shown in Figure 2, two devices are used as an example of a connecting means for tightly connecting the openings of cylindrical body 3 and cylindrical body 4 in the direction of their respective axes to form quiver body 12: a flat hinge 8 (hereinafter simply referred to as flat hinge 8) made up of two blades and a detachable fastener 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as fastener 10).

[0016] When the quiver body 12 is divided into the cylindrical body 3 and the cylindrical body 4 and used as an arrow holder, a flat hinge 8 is used as an example of a cylindrical body holding means for holding the cylindrical body 3 and the cylindrical body 4 in a state where the openings of the cylindrical body 3 and the cylindrical body 4 are close to each other, as shown in Figures 1(a), (b), and (b-2).

[0017] When the quiver / arrow holder 1 is used as an arrow holder, the opening faces are not parallel but at different angles so that the axes of the two cylindrical bodies 3 and 4 held by flat hinge 8 are arranged in a twisted position relative to each other, in order to facilitate the storage and removal of arrows separated into the two cylindrical bodies. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2(c), each blade of the flat hinge 8 has three screw holes for fixing, but when it is attached to the cylindrical body 3, it is connected by screwing using only one screw hole at the apex of the screw holes in the blade of the hinge 8 to be attached, and this serves as the rotation axis 9, and is shown by filling in the area. By fastening all three screw holes in the blades of the flat hinge 8 to the cylindrical body 4 with screws, the cylindrical body 3 can be rotated freely relative to the cylindrical body 4 by the rotation shaft 9 to change its angle. As another method, the flat hinge 8 attached to both cylinders 3 and 4 is screwed into the screw holes at the apexes of both ends of the blades, and these two points are used as the rotation axis 9, and the cylinder 3 rotates relative to the cylinder 4. The angle may be freely changed.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1(a), two legs 11 are vertically attached near the opening of the cylindrical body 4, and together with the cylindrical body 4, the quiver / arrow holder 1 is supported at three points to make it self-standing. Furthermore, the cylinders 3 and 4 are held by flat hinges 8, which are a means for holding the cylinders 3 and 4, and the cylinders 3 and 4 are held by legs 11 with their axes twisted relative to each other. Furthermore, the openings in which the two cylinders 3, 4 are arranged at a twisted position by the cylinder holding means allow the arrows stored in each cylinder to face in different directions, making it possible to distinguish at a glance between the four arrows to be used in the competition and the spare arrows.Furthermore, when the four arrows to be used in the competition are stored in the diagonally standing cylinder 4, the arrows do not separate but remain in one lump, making it possible to quickly take out the arrows with one fist. FIG. 1(a) shows an example in which the cylindrical body 3 stands vertically, but it may be at an angle as long as it is not parallel to the cylindrical body 4.

[0019] The shapes of the cylindrical bodies 3 and 4 shown in FIG. 1 are cylindrical, but they may be any other polygonal shape such as a square or hexagon, and their outer diameters may be any desired size, but it is desirable that they be of a size that does not interfere with portability. The cylindrical bodies 3 and 4 may be made of any material such as wood, bamboo, compressed paper (tube), hard resin, etc., but a strong and lightweight material is preferable for portability. As shown in Figure 1(a), when the quiver and arrow holder 1 is used as an arrow holder, an example of a cylindrical body holding means for holding the openings of the two cylindrical bodies 3, 4 in a twisted position relative to each other is configured using a flat hinge 8 shown in Figures 1(b), (b-2) and 2(c), but the cylindrical body holding means may also be a flexible string, wire, or a belt-shaped member made of cloth or leather, or other flexible plate-shaped member. The flat hinge 8 may also serve as part of the connecting means. The shape of each of the two legs 11 may be a slide type in which the legs are extendable and retractable, or may be a foldable type or a simple straight pole. The material may be any material such as aluminum, duralumin, resin, wood, or bamboo, but a lightweight and strong material is preferable. When the quiver / arrow holder 1 is used as a quiver, the closed end of the cylindrical body 3 must be able to be opened and closed to take out or store the arrows 2. As an example of a means for closing the cylindrical body 3, an openable cylindrical lid 5 is shown in Figures 1(a) and 2, but instead, it is sufficient if one end can be opened and closed using a zipper, screw-on type, etc. [Industrial Applicability]

[0020] The quiver / arrow holder 1 of the present invention is, as mentioned above, a user-friendly, freestanding, two-arrow holder that allows for separate storage of arrows 2 according to their intended use, and it also functions as both a quiver and an arrow holder, which are essentially separate entities, eliminating the need to make and carry a custom-made quiver holder. The present invention is easy to use and convenient, and we believe it will meet the expectations of many Kyudo practitioners. [Explanation of symbols]
