Magnetic Archery Release Aid Holder for Secure Bow Retention
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 mount system using magnets and various attachment mechanisms, such as clamps, straps, and cylindrical bodies, to securely hold archery release aids to bows, allowing easy removal without tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional attachment methods (pouches, holsters, clips) are used to carry archery release aids, then the release aid can be stored and transported, but it is not securely attached to the bow and may be lost or misplaced during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical attachment methods (clips, straps, holsters) with a magnetic attachment system. Magnets embedded in the release aid holder interact with corresponding magnetic elements on the bow, providing secure attachment through magnetic force rather than mechanical fastening. This eliminates the need for complex mechanical attachment mechanisms while ensuring reliable retention of the release aid during archery activities.
2Reliability
If secure attachment mechanisms are implemented to prevent loss, then reliability improves, but the removal process becomes cumbersome and requires tools
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic attachment system allows the release aid to be securely held during use through magnetic attraction, yet enables tool-free removal by simply pulling the release aid away from the bow. The magnetic force provides sufficient retention during archery operations but can be easily overcome by deliberate manual intervention, eliminating the need for tools or complex release mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system transitions between two states: a secured state during archery operations where magnetic force holds the release aid firmly to the bow, and a removed state where the release aid is easily detached. The magnetic connection dynamically adapts to the operational needs, providing strong retention when required and easy release when needed.
3Reliability
If the holder substantially conforms to the release aid shape, then secure attachment is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic attachment system changes the attachment parameter from mechanical interlocking (requiring precise geometric conformance) to magnetic field interaction. The holder contains magnets that create a magnetic field interacting with corresponding elements on the release aid or bow, providing secure attachment through magnetic force rather than precise geometric fitting. This reduces manufacturing precision requirements while maintaining attachment security.

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.
