Archery Equipment Holding Assembly for Secure Bow Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Archers face challenges in securely and accessibly holding their bows and arrows, as placing the bow on the ground or against a support can damage the finely-adjusted components, especially when the bow falls over.
Innovation Solution
An archery equipment holding assembly with a base, arrow support frame, bow support frame, and rest assemblies that securely and accessibly hold the bow and arrows, featuring perpendicular support planes and detachable components for easy retrieval and positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the bow is placed on the ground or leaned against a tree or support, then the archer can easily access the bow, but the bow may fall over and damage the finely-adjusted scope or other components
Solution Approach 1:
The holding assembly is divided into separate functional components: a base structure, a bow support frame with perpendicular planes, and an arrow support frame. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function - the perpendicular planes provide stable bow support while preventing lateral movement, and the arrow rest provides independent arrow storage, collectively solving both accessibility and security requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The holding assembly acts as an intermediary between the archer and the bow/arrows. Instead of directly placing the bow on the ground or against a tree, the bow is transferred to the specialized support structure with perpendicular planes and rest assemblies, which mediates the support function while protecting the bow from damage and maintaining proper positioning
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bow is leaned against a tree or support, then the archer can perform tasks like retrieving arrows, but the finely-adjusted position of the scope or other component on the bow may be damaged or adversely affected
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly separates the bow support function from the arrow storage function through distinct frames and rest assemblies. The bow support frame with its perpendicular planes provides a dedicated, stable platform that maintains the bow's orientation and protects the scope positioning, while the arrow support frame handles arrow storage independently, allowing task performance without compromising bow precision
Solution Approach 2:
The holding assembly serves as an intermediary structure that enables task performance (arrow retrieval, equipment adjustment) while maintaining the bow's precise positioning. The perpendicular support planes and rest assemblies mediate between the archer's needs for mobility and the bow's requirement for stable, damage-free support during task execution
