Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Archery bows, particularly compound bows, require frequent adjustments and tuning of accessories such as arrow rests and sighting devices, necessitating precise alignment and level orientation during installation to ensure accurate performance.
Innovation Solution
Integration of level devices into archery bow risers and bow sight devices, including mounting brackets, sight extension bars, and level devices oriented in specific directions to facilitate precise leveling and alignment for tuning and accessory installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional archery bows are used without integrated level devices, then the bow structure remains simple and lightweight, but precise alignment and level orientation during accessory installation become difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates level devices directly into the bow sight assembly and bow riser structure, combining the leveling function with the existing structural components. This merging approach enables precise alignment during accessory installation without requiring separate external leveling tools, thereby improving manufacturing precision while minimizing additional structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The level devices are pre-integrated into the bow sight and riser components during manufacturing, allowing users to achieve immediate and accurate leveling without requiring complex adjustment procedures or additional tools during field installation and tuning operations
2Measurement precision
If level devices are integrated into bow sights and risers, then precise positioning and alignment are achieved, but the device complexity and number of components increase
Solution Approach 1:
The level devices are merged with the existing bow sight housing, mounting brackets, and riser structure. By integrating the leveling functionality into these essential components rather than adding completely separate systems, the patent achieves high measurement precision while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity and component count
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated level devices serve multiple functions: they provide leveling indication during accessory installation, assist in tuning operations, and ensure proper alignment of various bow components. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized tools, thereby improving measurement precision without proportionally increasing device complexity
3Productivity
If manual alignment methods are used without integrated level devices, then the bow structure remains simple, but tuning and accessory installation require more time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The level devices are combined with essential bow components such as the sight assembly and riser structure, enabling users to perform leveling and alignment operations quickly and efficiently during tuning and accessory installation. This integration improves productivity by eliminating the need for separate external leveling tools while keeping the added structural complexity minimal

AI summary
Archery bow risers and bow sight devices are provided which comprise integrated level devices for use in, e.g., tuning and installing accessories on archery bows such as compound bows. For example, a bow sight device comprises a mounting bracket configured for attachment to a bow riser, a sight extension bar configured to slidably interface with the mounting bracket, and a first level device disposed on the sight extension bar and oriented in a first direction.
