Box-Shaped Magnetic Holder for Secure Bow Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing archery release aids are not securely attached to bows, leading to potential loss or misplacement during use, and require cumbersome attachment methods that complicate their removal for archery operations.
Innovation Solution
A magnetically secured archery release aid mount with a box-shaped holder and optional strap mechanism that conforms to the release aid, allowing easy attachment and removal without tools, using magnets to hold the aid securely to the bow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional attachment methods (clips, straps, holsters) are used to secure the release aid, then the release aid can be carried, but the attachment is cumbersome and may not remain securely attached during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical attachment mechanisms (clips, straps, holsters) with a magnetic field-based attachment system. Magnets embedded in the mount securely hold the release aid during use without requiring complex mechanical fastening or unfastening operations, thus improving reliability while reducing device complexity.
2Reliability
If the release aid is securely attached to the bow, then it remains in place during use, but removal requires tools or complex procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic attachment system allows the release aid to be securely held during use through magnetic force, yet can be easily removed by simply pulling it away from the mount. This eliminates the need for tools or complex unfastening procedures required by traditional mechanical attachment methods, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining secure attachment.
3Ease of operation
If magnets are used to secure the release aid, then attachment is simple and secure, but the holder structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is designed to attach to multiple types of bows (recurve, compound, longbow) using a universal attachment mechanism that can be configured for different bow types. The magnetic securing mechanism works with various release aid designs, making the holder multi-functional and reducing the need for multiple specialized mounts, thereby offsetting the added structural complexity.

AI summary
An archery release aid mount includes an attachment mechanism configured to rigidly attach the archery release aid to a bow. A securing device is configured to receive an archery release aid. The securing device includes a securing device that upon the archery release aid mount receiving the archery release aid, holds the archery release aid securely, and that is configured to allow a user to without tools remove the archery release aid from the archery release aid mount when the user wants to use the archery release aid during archery.
