Bow Support via Trekking Pole Clip Receiver
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bow support systems fail to provide stable and versatile support for archers, especially during aiming and firing, as they do not effectively utilize trekking poles for vertical support and adjustment, leading to instability and discomfort.
Innovation Solution
A bow support system comprising a support member with a clip and pole receiver, allowing secure attachment to a trekking pole, enabling vertical support and adjustable positioning for improved stability and ease of use, including a rotatable clip receiver for aiming adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a bow support system uses a trekking pole for vertical support, then stability and reduced user fatigue are improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional components like clip receivers and pole receivers
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is divided into separate functional components: a support member with clip receiver that attaches to the bow, and a pole receiver that attaches to the trekking pole. These segments can be independently attached and configured, providing stability while allowing modular complexity management.
Solution Approach 2:
The trekking pole serves multiple functions: it provides vertical support for the bow, acts as a stabilizing element, and can be adjusted for different shooting positions. The clip receiver and pole receiver use universal attachment mechanisms that can accommodate various bow and pole configurations.
2Ease of operation
If the bow support system includes adjustable positioning features, then ease of operation and aiming flexibility are improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The support system incorporates rotatable clip receivers that allow dynamic adjustment of the bow's aiming angle. The rotatable feature enables the archer to adjust the bow orientation while maintaining secure attachment, providing operational flexibility without complex mechanical adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The clip receiver is pre-configured with rotational capability and attachment features that allow quick positioning adjustments. The system is prepared in advance with these adjustment features built-in, eliminating the need for complex field adjustments during aiming.
3Reliability
If the support member is fixedly secured to the bow through the stabilizer, then reliability of attachment is improved, but the ease of repair and adjustment worsens due to permanent fixation
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed as a separate segment that attaches to the bow through the stabilizer mount using removable fasteners. This segmentation allows the support member to be reliably attached during use while enabling easy removal and adjustment when needed, resolving the contradiction between fixed security and adjustment flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic removable connection. The stabilizer mount interface allows the support member to be securely fixed during shooting while enabling quick detachment for adjustment or repair, providing both reliability and ease of maintenance.

AI summary
A support member for a bow may include a first portion having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first through-hole extending from the first surface to the second surface. The support member may include a clip coupled with the first portion, the clip having a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The support member may be configured to be fixedly secured to the bow by a stabilizer of the bow being secured to a stabilizer mount of the bow through the first through-hole. The clip may be configured to vertically support the bow while a user is aiming or firing the bow. A bow support assembly may include the support member and a clip receiver configured for receiving the clip. The clip receiver may be rotatably coupled with a pole receiver configured to be secured to a trekking pole.
