Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional bow sights have limited adjustability, making it difficult to accurately align sight components with peep sights, especially at longer ranges, which affects the accuracy of archery shots.

Innovation Solution

An infinitely adjustable mounting assembly for bow sights, featuring a mounting bracket and support rails, allows for precise alignment of the bow sight window with the peep sight window, providing sliding adjustability along the length of the support rails for optimal alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a bow sight is mounted with only a few predetermined, incremental adjustment positions, then the mounting structure is simple, but the alignment precision with the peep sight is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is designed to be movable along the support rail, transforming the static fixed-position mounting into a dynamic adjustable mounting system. This allows the bow sight to be positioned at any point along the rail rather than being constrained to predetermined incremental positions, thereby achieving continuous alignment precision while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is divided into separate functional components: a mounting bracket that can move independently along a support rail. This segmentation allows the positioning function to be separated from the mounting structure, enabling precise adjustment without complicating the overall mounting design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the bow sight is made infinitely adjustable along the support rail, then the alignment accuracy with the peep sight is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesight component alignmentVSAvoidadjustment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is designed to be movable along the support rail, transforming the static fixed-position mounting into a dynamic adjustable mounting system. This allows the bow sight to be positioned at any point along the rail rather than being constrained to predetermined incremental positions, thereby achieving continuous alignment precision while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support rail serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the bow sight, defines the adjustment path, and acts as a guide for the movable mounting bracket. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional complex adjustment mechanisms while enabling infinite adjustability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A bow sight includes a mounting assembly, a sight component, and an adjustment system. The bow sight is mounted to an archery bow with the mounting assembly. The adjustment system couples the sight component to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes at least one support rail and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket connects to the archery bow and is infinitely adjustable along a length of the at least one support rail to adjust a position of the sight component toward and away from the archery bow.
