Abstract
An archery release assembly, in an embodiment, includes a body, a trigger supported by the body, a trigger controller supported by the body, and a draw cord holder supported by the body. The trigger and trigger controller are each pivotal relative to the body. The trigger controller includes a step-shaped portion The trigger and the trigger controller are configured to cooperate to generate an output as a result of a part of the trigger striking or coming into contact with the step-shaped portion of the trigger controller.
Claims20
An archery release assembly comprising:
- a body;
- a trigger pivotally coupled to the body;
- a trigger controller pivotally coupled to the body, the trigger controller comprising:
- a first controller portion comprising:
- a first step comprising a first edge;
- and
- a second step comprising a second edge;
- and
- a second controller portion;
- a link pivotally coupled to the body, the link comprising:
- a first link portion configured to engage the second controller portion;
- and
- a second link portion;
- and
- a draw cord holder pivotally coupled to the body, the draw cord holder being pivotal between a plurality of positions comprising:
- a non-release position in which a part of the draw cord holder is engaged with the second link portion, enabling the draw cord holder to retain a portion of a draw cord;
- and
- a release position in which the part of the draw cord holder is disengaged from the second link portion, enabling the portion of the draw cord to be released,
- wherein the archery release assembly is configured to generate an output as a result of the trigger coming into contact with the first controller portion of the trigger controller, and
- wherein while the draw cord holder is in the non-release position, a segment of the trigger is configured to:
- move along the first step toward the first edge;
- move from the first step edge to the second step;
- and
- move along the second step to the second edge.
