Abstract
An archery arrow/bolt pulling device designed for the safe, easy, non-destructive and one handed extraction of deeply embedded, complete arrow or bolt assemblies regardless of shaft diameter or arrowhead type from foam and other target materials. This device pulls with three surrounding gripping jaws in a coaxial path with the long axis of the arrow/bolt and the combined mechanical advantage power of lever, fulcrum and cam while overcoming the minimal movement of the load end of the lever by means of a ratcheting pawl and toothed pull rod.
Claims2
An archery arrow puller device comprising:
- a pistol gripped encased mechanism which provides for the safe, easy, non-destructive and one handed extraction of deeply embedded, complete arrow or bolt assemblies from foam and other target materials,
- said encased mechanism clamps said arrow/bolt and pulls it away from said target as the muzzle face pushes against said target in the opposite direction, pulling said arrow/bolt free from its embedded, sometimes friction welded position, in a slow and controlled motion,
- said encased mechanism employing an amplified mechanical advantage based on cam, lever and fulcrum concepts providing ample force by depressing of a squeeze trigger/lever to extract the said arrow/bolt, avoiding bodily harm by eliminating the extreme force one must use to pull said arrows from said targets and the opposite reaction that occurs when the arrow finally breaks free, especially those with razor broadheads,
- said amplified mechanical advantage providing ample force so one does not over exert oneself or in the case that one doesn't have the physical strength to pull said arrow/bolt from said target by oneself,
- said amplified mechanical advantage providing a non-impact or non-shock based pulling mechanism which pulls said arrow/bolt in a smooth, controlled and deliberate coaxial path with said arrow/bolt in a non-destructive manner without the need for disassembly of said arrow/bolt and
- said amplified mechanical advantage combined with a ratcheting mechanism to overcome the minimal movement of the load end of the lever through a tuned cam, ratcheting pawl and toothed pull rod, providing ample total pulling distance through multiple depressions of the squeeze trigger.
