Solution Overview

Problem

Modern archery practices require a quiver that can conveniently store arrows at stationary locations like archery ranges, as traditional quivers are not as functional for modern shooting methods.

Innovation Solution

A quiver with a built-in tripod stand and attachment points for additional features, such as a carrying strap, bow rest, and camera mount, allowing for versatile use and storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional quivers are used for arrow storage, then arrows can be carried and stored, but they are not convenient for stationary locations like archery ranges

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of arrow storage at stationary locationsVSAvoidadaptability to modern archery practices

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The quiver is designed with a built-in collapsible stand that enables it to function both as a portable carrying device and as a stationary storage solution. The stand mechanism allows the quiver to be自立 (stand alone) on flat surfaces at archery ranges, eliminating the need for additional support structures and providing versatility across different archery scenarios.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a built-in stand is added to the quiver, then stationary storage capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestationary storage capabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand legs are designed to nest within the quiver body when collapsed, similar to a nested doll structure. This allows the stand components to be stored inside the quiver when not in use, maintaining a compact form factor while providing the functionality of a built-in stand when deployed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The stand employs a collapsible mechanism that transitions between an extended standing position and a retracted storage position. This dynamic design allows the stand to be deployed when stationary storage is needed and collapsed when portability is required, adapting to different operational states.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If attachment points are added for additional features, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveversatility for additional featuresVSAvoidstructural complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The quiver incorporates universal attachment points that can accommodate various accessories such as bow rests, camera mounts, and carrying straps. These attachment points serve multiple functions and can be used with different types of accessories, providing versatility without requiring separate specialized mounting structures for each accessory type.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A quiver is disclosed which includes a generally cylindrical body having an open upper end and an open lower end. The quiver has a stand with a closed position telescopically received within the body and an open position extending from the open lower end. The stand having three or more legs which provide support for the body in the open position.
