Archery Bow Sight Mounting System With Decoupled Torque Tuning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional archery bow arrow rests and launcher systems have limited adjustment parameters, restricting the archer's ability to fine-tune the bow's torque and sight alignment, leading to potential errors in arrow flight paths due to excess torque application and 'deadspots' caused by riser and cable contact limitations.
Innovation Solution
An innovative archery bow arrow rest and blade holder system featuring an adjustable launcher mount block, reversible and adjustable launcher arm, and a sliding blade slot with micro adjustment points, allowing independent torque tuning of the blade holder and sight alignment without affecting the arrow rest's position, thereby eliminating 'deadspots' and enhancing precision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional archery bow arrow rests and launcher systems are used, then the structure is simple, but the adjustment parameters are limited and cannot achieve precise torque tuning and sight alignment
Solution Approach 1:
The launcher system is divided into separate functional modules: an adjustable arrow rest mounted on a mount block, and an independently adjustable blade holder mounted on the launcher arm. This segmentation allows each component to be tuned independently without affecting the other, enabling precise torque adjustment of the blade holder while maintaining a fixed arrow rest position.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates multiple adjustable components with varying degrees of freedom. The blade holder can be adjusted independently of the arrow rest, and the launcher arm can be positioned at different angles. These dynamic adjustment capabilities enable precise torque tuning and sight alignment while maintaining overall system stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the arrow rest position is adjusted to tune the bow, then the sight alignment may be affected, but if the sight alignment is adjusted, then the torque tuning may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system separates the arrow rest adjustment function from the blade holder adjustment function. The arrow rest is mounted on a mount block that can be positioned independently, while the blade holder is mounted on the launcher arm with its own adjustment mechanism. This allows torque tuning and sight alignment to be performed independently without interfering with each other.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount block serves as an intermediary between the bow and the arrow rest, providing a stable mounting platform that decouples the arrow rest position from the sight mounting position. This intermediary structure enables independent adjustment of each component while maintaining overall system stability and alignment.
3Ease of operation
If the launcher arm is fixed in position, then the structure is stable, but the archer cannot perform torque tuning or adjust blade holder positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The launcher arm is designed with adjustable positioning capabilities, allowing it to be set at different angles and positions. Once positioned, the arm provides a stable platform for the blade holder while still enabling torque tuning adjustments. The system achieves both stability and adjustability through its modular design and multiple adjustment points.
