Magnetic Archery Release Aid Mount for Tool-Free Secure Access

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing archery release aids lack efficient and tool-free mounting solutions that securely attach to archery bows while allowing easy removal for use during shooting.

Innovation Solution

The development of an archery release aid mount featuring magnets, cylindrical bodies, and various attachment mechanisms that securely hold the release aid to the bow without tools, enabling easy detachment when needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a pouch or holster is used to carry the release aid, then the release aid can be stored and transported, but it cannot be quickly accessed or securely mounted to the bow during shooting

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess speedVSAvoidsecure attachment

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mount is divided into separate components: a bow-mounted portion with magnets and a release aid portion with magnetic elements. This segmentation allows the release aid to be quickly attached and detached while maintaining secure attachment during use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (buckles, clips, screws) with magnetic attachment. The magnets provide both secure holding force and easy release capability, eliminating the need for tools or complex mechanical operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional mounting methods are used, then secure attachment is achieved, but tools are required and mounting is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetool-free assemblyVSAvoidmounting time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (buckles, clips, screws) with magnetic attachment. The magnets provide both secure holding force and easy release capability, eliminating the need for tools or complex mechanical operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic mount system is self-aligning and self-securing. When the release aid approaches the mount, the magnetic force automatically guides and secures it in the correct position without requiring manual alignment or tool assistance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the release aid is permanently fixed to the bow, then secure attachment is ensured, but easy removal for use during shooting is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecure attachmentVSAvoideasy removal

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic attachment system transitions from a static permanent fixation to a dynamic reversible connection. The magnetic force provides secure attachment during storage and transport, but allows easy separation when needed for shooting by simply overcoming the magnetic force.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (buckles, clips, screws) with magnetic attachment. The magnets provide both secure holding force and easy release capability, eliminating the need for tools or complex mechanical operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
