Adjustable Archery Limb Holder for Variable Riser Length and Draw Weight
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Archers need multiple bows with different riser lengths and draw weights for hunting and target shooting, and fixed riser lengths and arrow shelves hinder customization and sharing among family members.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable archery limb holder with movable limb supports and a riser mount that allows for variable riser length and draw weight adjustment, along with a customizable arrow shelf position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed riser length is used in the bow, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability for different draw lengths and draw weights is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The riser is divided into multiple modular sections that can be independently adjusted or reconfigured. The adjustable riser length mechanism allows the bow to be segmented into different length configurations, enabling archers to customize the draw length and draw weight without requiring multiple complete bows.
Solution Approach 2:
The riser incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow it to change length and configuration during use or between shots. This dynamic capability enables the same bow to adapt to different archers and shooting conditions, providing versatility without the need for multiple fixed-configuration bows.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bows with different riser lengths are purchased to achieve variety in draw lengths and draw weights, then the adaptability is improved, but the cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single bow design incorporates multiple functions through its adjustable riser mechanism, allowing it to serve as different effective bow lengths and draw weight configurations. This universal design eliminates the need for archers to purchase and maintain multiple separate bows, reducing both cost and the quantity of equipment needed.
3Ease of operation
If the arrow shelf is fixed in place relative to the bow, then the manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but the ease of operation for customization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The arrow shelf is designed with dynamic positioning capability, allowing it to be moved along the riser to different locations. This dynamic adjustment enables archers to customize the arrow shelf position according to their preferences and shooting style, improving ease of operation without significantly complicating the overall device.
