Abstract
A quiver for receiving therein a plurality of arrows is hereby presented, the quiver comprising an arrow head receiving portion secured at a first end of an elongated frame and an arrow nock receiving portion secured at a second end of the elongated frame, the arrow head receiving portion comprising a biasing mechanism for longitudinally biasing an arrow toward the arrow nock receiving portion for longitudinally compressing and securing the arrow between the arrow head receiving portion and the arrow nock receiving portion.
Claims20
A quiver for receiving and securing therein a plurality of arrows, the quiver comprising:
- an arrow head receiving portion secured at a first end of an elongated frame, the arrow head receiving portion including a plurality of individual arrow retaining mechanisms;
- each individual arrow retaining mechanism comprising
- an arrow head receiver for contacting an arrow head thereon;
- a slidable plunger longitudinally connected to the arrow head receiver;
- a plunger receiver longitudinally slidably connected to the plunger and individually housed and secured in a corresponding individual recess in the arrow head receiving portion;
- a biasing element encapsulated between the plunger and the plunger receiver, the biasing element longitudinally biasing the plunger away from the plunger receiver that is remaining fixed with respect to the corresponding individual recess in the arrow head receiving portion;
- and
- an arrow nock receiving portion secured at a second end of the elongated frame, the arrow nock receiving portion including a plurality of individual nock-engaging elements, each one of the individual nock-engaging elements being longitudinally aligned along a respective arrow longitudinal axis with a cooperating arrow retaining mechanism of the arrow head receiving portion for securing an arrow with a force longitudinally biased against the arrow between the arrow retaining mechanism and the nock-engaging element.
An arrow propelling device equipped with a quiver for receiving and securing therein a plurality of arrows, the quiver comprising:
- an arrow head receiving portion secured at a first end of an elongated frame, the arrow head receiving portion including a plurality of individual arrow retaining mechanisms;
- each individual arrow retaining mechanism comprising
- an arrow head receiver for contacting an arrow head thereon;
- a slidable plunger longitudinally connected to the arrow head receiver;
- a plunger receiver longitudinally slidably connected to the plunger and individually housed and secured in a corresponding individual recess in the arrow head receiving portion;
- a biasing element disposed between the plunger and the plunger receiver, the biasing element longitudinally biasing the plunger away from the plunger receiver that is remaining fixed with respect to the corresponding individual recess in the arrow head receiving portion;
- and
- an arrow nock receiving portion secured at a second end of the elongated frame, the arrow nock receiving portion including a plurality of individual nock-engaging elements, each one of the individual nock-engaging elements being longitudinally aligned along a respective arrow longitudinal axis with a cooperating arrow retaining mechanism of the arrow head receiving portion for securing an arrow with a force longitudinally biased against the arrow between the arrow retaining mechanism and the nock-engaging element.
